Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current multi-device display screen collaboration technologies offer limited modes and user experience needs improvement, particularly in scenarios where simultaneous display of multiple device interfaces is required, leading to complex operations and restricted screen usage.
Innovation Solution
A cross-device split-screen method that allows adding tasks from multiple devices to a split-screen window, enabling simultaneous display on a target device, with user-friendly input operations to select and transfer tasks across devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If display content of one terminal is projected to a screen of another terminal using current multi-screen collaboration technology, then cross-device display is achieved, but only limited modes of multi-device display screen collaboration can be implemented and user experience needs to be improved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display content from multiple devices into separate tasks that can be independently selected and organized in a split-screen window. Each device's display content is divided into discrete task units that can be individually managed, allowing flexible combination of multiple tasks from different devices in a single split-screen interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimension of cross-device split-screen collaboration by allowing tasks from multiple devices to be simultaneously displayed in a split-screen window on a target device. This moves beyond traditional one-to-one projection to enable many-to-many task distribution across devices, creating a multi-dimensional collaboration space.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple tasks from multiple devices are displayed simultaneously, then cross-device split screen is implemented, but complex operations are required to manage and transfer tasks across devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a task management interface as an intermediary that simplifies task selection and transfer operations. This interface provides a unified view of tasks from multiple devices and enables users to select and transfer tasks through simple gestures, reducing the complexity of managing cross-device task distribution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements task transfer by creating copies of task instances from source devices and adding them to the split-screen window on the target device. This copying mechanism allows tasks to be replicated across devices without affecting the original, enabling flexible task distribution while maintaining simple transfer operations.
3Productivity
If traditional screen projection is used, then display collaboration is achieved, but screen usage efficiency is limited and user experience is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple tasks from different devices into a single split-screen window on a target device, allowing simultaneous display and interaction with multiple tasks. This consolidation improves screen usage efficiency by enabling users to work with multiple tasks across devices without requiring multiple separate projection sessions or switching between different display modes.

AI summary
A presented cross-device split-screen method, including displaying, by the first terminal, a task management interface having a device identifier of a first terminal and a device identifier corresponding to each collaborative device for the first terminal, where a first area of the task management interface is associated with display of a task identifier corresponding to each task of at least one preset task of a currently selected terminal, receiving a first input operation performed on a task identifier of a first task in the first area, adding the first task as a task in a split-screen window in response to the first input operation, receiving a second input operation performed on a task identifier of a second task in the first area, adding the second task as a task in the split-screen window in response to the second input operation.
