Smartphones have become the single most important smart device in the digital age, thanks to a full-fledged mobile device and communications ecosystem. However, most people will opt to switch to a larger screen device for full-scale immersion, when watching a movie or gaming. Marrying smartphone functionality with the benefits of a large-screen device, allows for the content on a smartphone to be projected on to an expansive display, offering a new paradigm for entertainment, as well as remote work and learning.
As a core distributed technology in Huawei's EMUI system, HUAWEI Cast+ Kit incorporates the strengths of both large and smaller screen devices, and seamlessly bridges the divide between the two systems, facilitating effortless cross-device transfers of media content.
Ultra low latency
Revolutionizing the game projection experience
Projecting games with HUAWEI Cast+ Kit ensures that the projected content on the TV is in sync with the action on your phone, with projection latency as low as 50 ms. This provides for a whole new realm of fully-immersive gaming.

}
Proprietary streamlined communications mechanism
Resolving the trade-off between smoothness and clarity
During projection, the Wi-Fi environment is prone to interference and instability due to the potentially high number of devices connected to the same network. Due to this and the resulting packet loss, frame freezing and artifacts will tend to occur. The common resolution for most brands is to sacrifice smoothness for clarity, or vice versa. But now it's possible to enjoy the best of both worlds: high quality imagery with a smooth display.
HUAWEI Cast+ Kit is the culmination of three years of optimization and iteration, and is based on Huawei's own streaming media communication and transmission protocols. It redesigns the algorithm at the streaming media transmission layer to ensure strong anti-interference capabilities. Even when the packet loss rate reaches 25%, HUAWEI Cast+ Kit still manages to minimize frame freezing and ensure stable data transmission. This ensures a high degree of smoothness and high definition streaming, throughout the entire projection process. Because the optimization is performed at the software layer only, no additional cost is passed on at the hardware layer to device partners.
High-definition mirroring
Reproducing the magnificent graphical performance on your phone
The 1080p HD mirroring provided by HUAWEI Cast+ Kit allows for lossless reproduction of pictures and videos on your phone.
Streamlined connection
Easy, instantaneous projections, on command
HUAWEI Cast+ Kit can be accessed on a Huawei phone, without the need to download and install an additional app. By swiping down the notification panel and touching the Wireless Projection shortcut switch, your phone will automatically search for nearby devices that can be projected to. To project the phone screen, just select the target device. The process is so simple that even technologically-challenged users can perform it with ease. HUAWEI Cast+ Kit comes equipped with a fast discovery mechanism that is based on Huawei-developed algorithms. The minimal time required to establish an end-to-end connection is a staggering 500 ms. HUAWEI Cast+ Kit is a highly-accessible wireless projection solution that is not weighed down by unnecessary bells and whistles, for direct touch-to-connect and casting.
PIN authentication
Secure and convenient
When using the Huawei Cast+ function on a TV for the first time, the user will need to enter the PIN to authenticate the connection. All subsequent connections will not require PIN input. This solution provides for optimal user privacy and security, without compromising convenience in the slightest.
HUAWEI Cast+ Kit is only supported on devices that run EMUI 10.1 or later. EMUI 10.1 debuted on the HUAWEI P40 series of smartphones, which were released on April 8, 2020 in China, and will be made available on a gradual basis, on other phone models. HUAWEI Cast+ Kit is poised to reinvent the nature of cross-device interaction, with Huawei's broad user base, and collaborative capabilities of third-party partners.

}
Device Specification:
For integrating Huawei CaaS, the phone should support the MeeTime service, and run EMUI 10.0 or a later version. The Kirin 980 and Kirin 990 chipsets are currently supported. This capability will be gradually expanded to support the Kirin 710, Kirin 810, Kirin 970, and later chipsets.
CaaS Features:
Huawei CaaS provides higher image quality with lower bandwidth requirement.
It delivers clear visual and a smooth video stream in real time, even when the signal is poor.
It detects intelligently the bandwidth, then uses seamless software and hardware collaboration to maintain a stable connection.
CaaS functionality can be classified into three types:
Voice and video calls with virtualized devices
Screen sharing
In-app calling
Voice and video calls with virtualized devices:
It allows developers to easily incorporate video calling into apps, and can define the video source themselves.
For example, Motion camera can be virtualized and can serve as phones camera which helps to make one-on-one video calls, even during athletic activities.
It is necessary to register virtual device before the call. Following are the processes for virtual camera registration:
The developer uses CaaS Kit to initiate the CaaS service.
The CaaS service initiates the DeviceVirtualization service.
The DeviceVirtualization service sends the broadcast to discover virtual devices.
The developers app receives the broadcast and links to the DeviceVirtualization service.
The DeviceVirtualization service registers the virtual camera, and sends the virtual cameraId to the CaaS service.
The CaaS service provides access to the video call in the app
Following are the processes of video call:
The user initiates a video call through the floating window.
The CaaS service enables the virtual camera using the standard Android API.
The camera service invokes the DeviceVirtualization service.
The DeviceVirtualization service uses a callback to obtain the video stream from the virtual camera interface.
After the video stream is virtualized, it is returned to the CaaS service using the standard Android API.
The CaaS service obtains the video stream through the standard Android camera API to implement video calling with the other device.
Release resources after using the CaaS service.
Screen Sharing:
It enables real-time content sharing within applications.
For example, we can show phone operations for friends and designers can show designs to the clients who were in different locations and clients can make comments, and suggest revisions.
Following are the processes for screen sharing:
Initialize the CaaS service.
Query whether there is any contact supporting the MeeTime screen sharing feature.
Display an entry to screen sharing for the user.
The user touches the entry to bring up the contact list, and selects a contact to start screen sharing.
Release resources after using the CaaS service.
In-app Calling:
It enables one-touch voice and video calls within applications.
Following are the processes for In-app calling:
Initialize the CaaS service.
Call the CaaS service API to query, if the number supports voice calls, or support both voice call and video calls.
CaaS service returns the query result.
The application is notified, if the MeeTime capability is supported, and will display an entry to MeeTime call.
Call the CaaS service API to initiate a voice or video call.
Release resources after using the CaaS service.
CaaS Classes:
CaaS uses the following classes for initialization, communication and resource release processes.
HwCaasServiceManager
The class is used to Initialize CaaS service and release resources after using the CaaS service. It contains methods such as init, initHandler and release
HwCaasHandler
The class provides APIs for communicating with the CaaS service. For the communication it uses the methods such as setCallAbilityCallBack, sendEventToCaasService, setFloatViewLocation, queryCallAbility, makeCall etc.
HwCaasUtils
This class is used to define CaaS service constants such as STARTVIEW, VIDEOVIEW, SCREEN_SHARING_TYPE, NORMAL_CALL_TYPE, CAAS_NOT_SUPPORT, ABILITY_NOT_SUPPORT etc.
Conclusion:
Communication as a Service (CaaS) plays an important role in business, education and entertainment by providing economical and high quality communication. It overcomes the distance and gives a real time experience even in lower bandwidth and poor network and also helps drone or motion camera to be virtualized and provide seamless experience.
