Electronic Device Bidirectional Screen Sharing Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bidirectional communication-based screen sharing functions in electronic devices fail to effectively convey user feedback on whether the counterpart device is viewing shared contents, making it difficult for the sender to determine if the contents are being acknowledged.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a user interface, communication circuit, and processor that establishes bidirectional communication channels, transmits contents, receives input and status information from the counterpart device, and generates feedback information based on this data for output through the user interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If bidirectional communication-based screen sharing is implemented, then contents can be transmitted between electronic devices, but the sender cannot recognize how the counterpart user reacts to or views the shared contents
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the counterpart electronic device sends status information (such as screen on/off state, active application, user presence) back to the original sender. This feedback loop allows the sender to recognize whether the counterpart is viewing the shared contents, directly resolving the information loss problem while maintaining manageable system complexity through standardized status reporting protocols
2Reliability
If status information is continuously monitored and transmitted, then real-time feedback on content viewing can be provided, but communication overhead and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic status information transmission rather than continuous monitoring. The counterpart device sends status updates at predetermined intervals or when specific status changes occur (such as screen state changes or application switches). This periodic approach ensures reliable content delivery confirmation while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to continuous real-time monitoring
