Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional multi-device display technologies (mirror display, transfer display, extended display) are used, then display functionality is provided, but distributed collaborative display of different content in a same interface on different devices cannot be implemented
Solution Approach 1:
The interface is divided into multiple function areas (first function area, second function area, etc.), each capable of being independently displayed on different electronic devices. This segmentation enables distributed collaborative display where different devices show different functional regions of the same interface simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extends the display dimension from single-device to multi-device spatial distribution. By distributing different function areas across multiple devices, the system creates a new dimensional space for interface display, enabling collaborative operations on different content simultaneously.
2Ease of operation
If all function areas are displayed on one device, then complete interface functionality is available, but user convenience for handling multiple tasks across devices is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Different function areas of the interface are assigned to different electronic devices based on their display capabilities and user needs. Each device displays specific function areas that best suit its characteristics, optimizing the local display quality and user interaction experience for each device.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables multiple electronic devices to collaboratively display and interact with the same application interface, making the interface universally accessible across different devices. Each device can independently interact with its displayed function area, providing multi-functional access points to the same application.
3Adaptability or versatility
If interface content is distributed across multiple devices, then collaborative display of different content is achieved, but display layout flexibility may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The display layout is dynamically adjusted based on user interactions and device characteristics. The system can reallocate function areas between devices as needed, allowing flexible adaptation to different usage scenarios while maintaining coherent interface functionality across the distributed display system.

AI summary
A distributed interface display method. A first electronic device may display content in a plurality of function areas (for example, a first function area and a second function area) on the first electronic device and another electronic device (for example, a second electronic device) in a distributed collaborative manner. Specifically, when the first electronic device displays the content in the first function area and the content in the second function area, the first electronic device may send the content in one of the function areas (for example, the first function area) to the second electronic device for display.
