Abstract
An apparatus, system, method, and computer-readable recording medium transfer a media session from a companion device to a media hub device connected in a network. A swipe operation is performed on the companion device, and a scan request is transmitted from the companion device to media hub devices connected in the network. The companion device receives a response packet from each media hub device based on the scan request. Each response packet includes a media access control (MAC) address. The companion device calculates a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) indicating signal strengths of the media hub devices based on each response packet, and determines a media hub device having a strongest signal strength. A media session executing on the companion device is then transferred over IP to the media hub device having the strongest signal strength.
