Looks like it’s specifically the “casting” portion of Chromecast. The patent details having one device, in the example an iphone, request to play a video on a larger device, where it’ll either play it from cache or pull it from the internet to display it. Seems a bit generic to actually patent something like that, but as usual parents serve to do nothing other than stifle innovation.
