Document Task Splitting Across Devices for Efficient Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data processing methods on multi-device systems fail to efficiently split tasks between devices, leading to lower efficiency and poor user experience due to lack of authority for large-screen devices to operate data and the decreasing size of terminal device screens.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that determine a first device and a second device within a master and slave configuration, allocating operating-type tasks to the first device and presenting-type tasks to the second device for enhanced processing efficiency and user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If data processing is performed only on the terminal device, then data accuracy is maintained, but data processing efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides data processing tasks into different types (operating-type tasks and presenting-type tasks) and allocates them to different devices. Operating-type tasks that require data accuracy are performed on the terminal device, while presenting-type tasks are performed on the large-screen device, thereby improving overall processing efficiency without compromising data accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a multi-device collaborative processing dimension by establishing master-slave relationships between terminal devices and large-screen devices. This allows processing to occur across multiple devices simultaneously rather than being confined to a single device, thereby improving efficiency.
2Productivity
If the display screen of the terminal device is made smaller, then the terminal device becomes more portable, but processing and displaying the same document simultaneously becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the large-screen device as an additional display dimension. The terminal device focuses on document processing while the large-screen device handles document display, allowing both operations to occur simultaneously without being constrained by the terminal device's screen size.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the processing and display functions across different devices. The terminal device is responsible for processing operations while the large-screen device is responsible for display operations, making the collaboration simple and convenient to operate.
3Productivity
If the large-screen device is used only for display, then the terminal device maintains full processing authority, but the large-screen device cannot operate and process data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically assigns different task types to different devices based on their characteristics. The large-screen device is assigned presenting-type tasks that leverage its display advantages, while the terminal device handles operating-type tasks that require its processing capabilities. This dynamic allocation improves both processing efficiency and device adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables the large-screen device to perform multiple functions including both display and specific processing operations. By assigning presenting-type tasks to the large-screen device, it becomes a versatile participant in the collaborative processing system rather than merely a passive display device.
