Content Continuation Control Center for Seamless Device Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The process of manually switching content between multiple electronic devices is time-consuming and complex, leading to a poor user experience in cross-device interaction scenarios.
Innovation Solution
A content continuation method that allows a first electronic device to display a control center with a device list, enabling users to select a second electronic device for content continuation, and automatically determine its role as a source or target device for seamless content transfer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual switching of content between multiple electronic devices is performed, then content continuation between devices is achieved, but the operation process becomes time-consuming and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines the source and target devices based on the current application state and user selection, eliminating the need for manual configuration of device roles. The control center automatically manages the content switching process between devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The control center pre-displays the list of available electronic devices before content switching is needed, allowing users to quickly select the target device without undergoing complex manual search and configuration processes.
2Ease of operation
If automatic role determination is implemented, then operation complexity is reduced, but the system must accurately identify source and target devices
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback from the current application state and user selection to accurately determine device roles. The control center receives user input and automatically interprets it to identify which device should be the source and which should be the target for content continuation.

AI summary
The method includes: A first electronic device displays a control center on a first interface, where the control center includes a device list including one or more electronic devices, and the one or more electronic devices and the first electronic device are in a same content continuation system. The first electronic device receives a first selection operation of selecting a second electronic device from the one or more electronic devices by a user. In response to the first selection operation, the first electronic device determines whether the first electronic device is a source device or a target device of a current content continuation task. If the first electronic device is the target device of the current content continuation task, the first electronic device switches content in the second electronic device to the first electronic device for continuous playing.
