`ABSTRACT
`A wireless controller for accessing digital content and con
`nectable externally via a wired connection to output devices,
`such as televisions, projectors, audio output devices, and
`printers, is herein disclosed and enabled. The wireless con
`troller may be a box for connecting to a television. To illus
`trate, connecting the wireless controller to a television makes
`the television a Smart television for accessing digital content
`via the wireless controller. The wireless controller includes a
`wireless communication unit that is compatible with at least
`one protocol within IEEE 802.11 or Bluetooth for accessing
`a wireless local area network and may establish wireless
`connections with mobile information apparatus in its vicinity.
`Subsequent to establishing the wireless connection, the
`mobile information apparatus may transmit, stream, or mirror
`digital content to the output devices over the established
`wireless connection. The wireless controller may collect
`authentication, payment, or Subscription information for
`accessing some digital content services.
