Master Toolkit Protocol Conversion for Multi-Touch Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current one-machine multi-control methods, such as Solopi and Total Control, suffer from significant operation delays and hardware requirements, limiting their scalability and compatibility with diverse Android system terminals, and fail to support multi-touch operations effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for a one-machine multi-control system using a master control terminal with a master toolkit to convert touch operations into operation protocol packages, which are then sent to slave control terminals via ZeroMQ, allowing for wireless communication and simulation of touch operations without additional hardware, supporting both TypeA and TypeB multi-touch protocols.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If traditional one-machine multi-control methods (Solopi, Total Control) are used, then control functionality is achieved, but operation delays increase and hardware requirements are imposed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical control systems (USB connections, physical hardware interfaces) with a wireless communication system based on protocol packages. The master terminal converts touch operations into operation protocol packages that are transmitted wirelessly to slave terminals, eliminating the need for physical hardware connections and reducing operation delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces operation protocol packages as an intermediary mechanism between the master terminal and slave terminals. These protocol packages serve as a standardized communication medium that enables wireless control without direct hardware connections, resolving the contradiction between control functionality and hardware complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional control methods are used, then basic control is achieved, but compatibility with diverse Android terminals is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal control system where the master terminal can control multiple slave terminals with different Android versions and specifications through a standardized operation protocol package format. The protocol is designed to be version-agnostic, allowing the same package structure to work across Android 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, and other versions without requiring separate control mechanisms for each device type.
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional control methods are used, then single-touch operations are supported, but multi-touch operations are not supported
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments touch operations into discrete operation protocol packages, where each package can represent a specific touch event (single-touch, multi-touch, drag, swipe, etc.). This segmentation allows the system to handle complex multi-touch operations by breaking them down into manageable protocol units that can be transmitted and executed independently on slave terminals.

AI summary
A one-machine multi-control method is provided. The method is applied to a master control terminal, including: in response to a touch operation on a graphical user interface of the master control terminal, converting an operation event corresponding to the touch operation into an operation protocol packet by means of a master toolkit; and sending a message to a slave control terminal, the message carrying the operation protocol packet to trigger the slave control terminal to perform the touch operation on the basis of the operation protocol packet by means of a salve toolkit.
