Multi-Device Image Synchronization via Server Mediator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current multi-screen service technologies lack the ability to effectively share content in various forms between electronic devices, limiting the seamless interaction and synchronization of images and control between devices used in applications like multi-screen games.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device establishes a communication link with another device, synchronizes images, and displays selected portions of the image from the second device, allowing for real-time synchronization and control of scenes across different displays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multi-screen service is implemented to share content between electronic devices, then content sharing capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A server acts as an intermediary between the first electronic device (display device) and the second electronic device (control device). The server receives control signals from the second device, manages the multi-screen service, and transmits control instructions to the first device. This intermediary approach enables content sharing and device coordination without requiring complex direct peer-to-peer communication protocols between the electronic devices, thus improving content sharing capability while managing system complexity.
2Measurement precision
If real-time image synchronization is implemented between devices, then synchronization accuracy is improved, but data transmission requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and transmits only the essential synchronization data needed for real-time image coordination between devices. Instead of transmitting complete image data or excessive metadata, the system identifies and transmits only the critical synchronization parameters (such as timing information, coordinate mappings, and selection states). This extraction approach maintains high synchronization accuracy while minimizing the quantity of data that needs to be transmitted across the network.
3Ease of operation
If selected portions of images are displayed across devices, then user interaction flexibility is improved, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display content is segmented into distinct portions or regions that can be independently selected, displayed, and controlled across different electronic devices. The system divides the overall image or content into manageable segments (such as different game views, information panels, or control zones) that can be assigned to different devices based on user selection. This segmentation enables flexible user interaction where users can choose which portions to view or control on each device, improving ease of operation while keeping processing complexity manageable through modular content organization.
