Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic device connections do not dynamically adjust display states based on operation responses, leading to potential information disclosure and inefficient power usage.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method that establishes a communication connection between electronic devices to send content and detect operation instructions, allowing the first device to determine its display state and adjust accordingly, while also adjusting the display state of the second device to reduce power consumption and prevent information disclosure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If the display screen of the first electronic device remains constantly lit to show content, then the user can continuously view the content, but the power consumption increases and information security is compromised when the device is not in use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation securityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The display state of the first electronic device is dynamically adjusted based on operation status. When operation instruction information is detected, the display remains in the first state (visible); when no operations are detected within a threshold time, the display transitions to the second state (different visibility state), achieving adaptive power saving and information security protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors operation instruction information and uses this feedback to control the display state. The display state changes in response to detected operations or lack thereof, creating a closed-loop control system that automatically adjusts power consumption and information security based on actual usage patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If the display screen of the second electronic device shows content in full screen, then the display quality is high, but the power consumption increases and flexibility is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay flexibilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The display state of the second electronic device is dynamically adjusted based on whether operation instruction information is detected. When operations are detected, the display shows content in full screen (first display state); when no operations are detected within a threshold time, the display transitions to a different state (second display state), providing adaptive flexibility and power saving.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If the first electronic device continuously monitors for operation instructions to maintain optimal display state, then the display responsiveness is high, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay responsivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system monitors for operation instruction information continuously but only triggers display state changes when specific conditions are met (operation detected or threshold time elapsed). This partial action approach maintains high responsiveness while avoiding unnecessary processing and reducing effective system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

An information processing method includes sending, by a first electronic device, content displayed on the first electronic device to a second electronic device through a communication connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device; detecting operation instruction information; and determining a display state of the first electronic device based at least on the operation instruction information.
