Solution Overview

Problem

Existing remote desktop control methods fail to adaptively adjust display contents from a controlled electronic device to a controlling device with different screen resolutions and sizes, leading to incorrect operations due to mirrored content transmission.

Innovation Solution

A display method that adjusts the display content of a controlled electronic device based on the parameters of the controlling device, including pixel information and interval, to ensure each icon has a trigger area larger than a preset threshold, allowing flexible display on various devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If display contents are transmitted in a mirrored manner from controlled device to controlling device, then the original display layout is preserved, but the display contents become unsuitable for devices with different screen resolutions and sizes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay layoutVSAvoiddisplay content adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the display parameters (resolution, size, layout) of the content based on the characteristics of the controlling device. The system obtains pixel information and interval parameters from the controlling device's display unit, then adjusts the display content parameters accordingly to match the target device's screen characteristics, resolving the contradiction between preserving layout and adapting to different devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of display content based on real-time detection of the controlling device's display parameters. The system dynamically modifies icon sizes, spacing, and layout configuration according to the target device's resolution and screen dimensions, enabling the display content to adapt flexibly to different devices while maintaining operational stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Quantity of substance

If all desktop icons are displayed on a mobile phone screen with different resolution, then complete content is transmitted, but the icons become very small and difficult to operate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay content completenessVSAvoidicon operability
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the size parameter of icons based on the controlling device's display resolution and screen characteristics. By obtaining pixel information from the target device and adjusting icon dimensions proportionally, the system ensures icons remain sufficiently large for easy operation while preserving the completeness of displayed content through scalable rendering

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If display content is adjusted adaptively for the controlling device, then ease of operation is improved, but the display processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser operation convenienceVSAvoiddisplay processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by having the system automatically detect and obtain display parameters (resolution, pixel information, interval settings) from the controlling device itself. The adjustment process is automated based on these obtained parameters, eliminating the need for manual configuration and reducing the perceived complexity for users while maintaining adaptive display functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a display method and an electronic device. The method comprises: obtaining a third display content based on the first display content when the first electronic device is to be controlled by the second electronic device; and transmitting the third display content to the second electronic device to cause the second electronic device to display a fourth display content based on the third display content, the fourth display content being different from the first display content.
