Content Enhancer Component for Mobile Device Display Capture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for enhancing video and audio content from mobile devices to larger displays are limited by the need for specific connection devices, mono audio output, and 2D visual format, which restricts the quality and spatial effect of the content presented, diverting user attention and lacking adaptability across different mobile devices.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a content enhancer component that captures and processes video and audio content from mobile devices, reconstructing it for presentation on a second communication device, enabling 3D conversion, enhanced stereo, and preserving user interaction visuals, without requiring electrical audiovisual interfaces, thus providing improved quality and focus on the larger display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional connection methods (cables, communication channels) are used to connect mobile device to larger display, then video and audio output can be transmitted, but user attention is diverted from larger display to mobile device controls
Solution Approach 1:
The system captures video content from the mobile device display and creates a duplicate presentation on the larger display device. The capture component records what is shown on the mobile device screen, and the reconstruction component recreates this content on the external display, allowing users to view content on the larger screen without needing to look at the mobile device controls.
2Area of stationary object
If mobile device video output is used directly, then content can be displayed on larger display, but visual format is limited by mobile device capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the mobile device's limited video output interface with a capture-based approach. Instead of relying on the mobile device's video output hardware and connection interfaces, the system uses visual capture (recording the display output) followed by digital reconstruction, thereby substituting physical interface limitations with computational processing capabilities.
3Reliability
If mobile device audio output is used directly, then audio content can be transmitted, but spatial effect is insufficient for multi-channel sound systems
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the audio parameters by capturing the audio output and processing it through reconstruction algorithms that enhance spatial characteristics. The reconstruction component modifies audio parameters such as channel distribution, spatial positioning, and surround sound characteristics to optimize the audio experience for multi-channel sound systems connected to the larger display device.
4Reliability
If connection cable is used to link mobile device with larger display, then video and audio can be output, but compatibility is limited to specific device classes
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves universal compatibility by using a capture component that can record video output from any mobile device display regardless of the specific device type or connection interface. The reconstruction component then processes this captured content in a device-agnostic manner, enabling the system to work with various classes of mobile devices without requiring device-specific connection adapters or protocols.

AI summary
Techniques for presenting content provided by a mobile device on a second communication device are presented. A content enhancer component (CEC) connects via a wired or wireless communication connection to the second communication device to communicate content to the second communication device, which has a larger display than or superior audio to the mobile device. The CEC captures content and interaction between the user and mobile device in a capture region of the CEC. The CEC reconstructs the content and the user-related interaction for presentation on the second communication device. The second communication device can have a 2-D or 3-D display. If a 3-D display, the CEC can convert captured video content into a 3-D format to provide 3-D perception when content is displayed on the second communication device. The captured audio signal can be processed to provide an enhanced stereo or 3-D sound effect.
