Solution Overview

Problem

The arrangement of content between multiple display devices is cumbersome and time-consuming, lacking intuitive methods for convenient interaction and transfer of media objects across screens.

Innovation Solution

A multi-display interaction system that uses input gestures to translate media objects between display devices, determining active regions and projecting lines to associate objects with corresponding devices, and translating objects based on velocity and acceleration vectors, allowing for seamless transfer and playback of audio and video content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual content arrangement between multiple display devices is used, then content can be transferred between screens, but the process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent transfer efficiencyVSAvoidtime for arranging content
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical operations (drag-and-drop, menu selections) with gesture-based control. Users can transfer content between displays by making simple gestures in the air or on the display surface, eliminating the need for cumbersome mouse operations or menu navigation. This substitution significantly reduces the time and effort required for content arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically detects and responds to user gestures, intelligently determining which content should be transferred to which display without requiring explicit user instructions. The system self-adjusts the content distribution across multiple displays based on the detected gestures and current display configurations, reducing manual intervention and improving transfer efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If traditional multi-screen interaction methods are used, then content can be displayed on multiple devices, but the interaction process lacks intuitiveness and convenience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction convenienceVSAvoidinteraction process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical interaction sequences (multiple clicks, menu selections, drag-and-drop operations) with intuitive gesture recognition. Users can naturally gesture to select, move, and transfer content between displays, making the interaction as intuitive as physical hand movements. This dramatically simplifies the user experience while maintaining full functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts to user gestures in real-time, adjusting the interaction flow based on the detected gesture type, direction, and intensity. The interface responds fluidly to user actions, providing contextual options and automatic adjustments without requiring users to learn complex interaction patterns. This dynamic responsiveness enhances ease of operation while managing system complexity through adaptive algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Various systems and methods for multi-screen interaction are described. Content and objects from a first display on a first screen may be transferred to other displays on other screens using various gestures. In some embodiments, active regions on the first display correspond to various other displays, and gestures corresponding to the active regions allow content or objects on the first display to be transferred to the other displays. In some embodiments, the content may include audio content, which may be reproduced at various audio output devices selected from the first display.
