Interface Presentation System for Asynchronous Remote Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cloud disk and network U disk technologies are inefficient for users as they require tedious file selection and uploading processes, often leading to missed documents, and remote desktop sharing is limited by the need for constant computer availability and complex setup, lacking cross-platform compatibility.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for interface presentation that allows a first terminal to capture and upload current user interface information to a network storage server, enabling a second terminal to invoke and present the interface independently of the first terminal's state, with simple setup and cross-platform compatibility, including dual presentation of desktop and task information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If cloud disk or network U disk technology is used to store and transfer files, then file storage is achieved, but the operation process becomes tedious and time-consuming due to manual file selection and sequential uploading/downloading
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the user interface information (including file selections, window states, and desktop layout) with the file transfer process. Instead of transferring only files, the system captures and transfers the complete interface state, allowing users to resume work on a different device with the exact same interface configuration, thereby eliminating manual file selection and setup time
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary capture and upload of interface information when the user triggers the function on the first device. This preliminary action stores the interface state (including selected files, open windows, and desktop arrangement) on a server, so that when the user accesses from a second device, the interface is instantly reconstructed without requiring manual recreation of the work environment
2Adaptability or versatility
If remote desktop sharing is implemented to allow remote access, then remote control capability is achieved, but the system complexity increases due to complex setup procedures and system program requirements
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of implementing complex remote desktop protocols and system-level remote control software, the patent creates a simplified copy of the user interface by capturing the screen display and reconstructing it on the remote device. This approach copies only the visual interface elements needed for interaction, avoiding the complexity of full remote desktop system integration while achieving the same user experience
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the essential interface information (visual elements, layout, and interaction states) from the original desktop environment, separating it from the complex underlying system operations. This extracted interface data is then transmitted and reconstructed on the remote device, eliminating the need for complex remote desktop protocol setup and system program configuration
3Adaptability or versatility
If remote desktop sharing is used for cross-platform access, then remote control is enabled, but reliability decreases because the remote computer must remain switched on and available
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a portable copy of the interface state that can be accessed from any device with a web browser or lightweight client. The interface information is stored on a server and rendered locally on the remote device, meaning the original computer does not need to be powered on or maintain a persistent connection, thus achieving cross-platform access without compromising availability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that stores and manages the interface information. This mediator allows users to access their interface state from any device at any time, decoupling the availability of the interface from the power state of the original computer. The server handles all data retrieval and transmission, enabling reliable cross-platform access regardless of the remote computer's operational state
Data Source
AI summary
The invention discloses a method, system and terminal for interface presentation. The method comprises: a first terminal receiving a request message for saving the current user interface, capturing the current interface information based on the request message, and uploading the interface information to a network storage server; a second terminal receiving a triggering instruction, initiating to the network storage server a request for invoking the interface information, constructing a user executable interface with the invoked interface information, and presenting the constructed interface. The invention uploads interface information to a network storage server by way of an interface presentation initiating side, and invokes the network storage server by way of an interface presentation receiving side, so as to achieve remote asynchronous sharing of the interface information of the interface presentation initiating side, and the sharing mode is independent of the operating state of the interface presentation initiating side and the current interface display condition thereof, and is flexible to be implemented.
