Media Presentation System for Mobile Device Display Mirroring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile media devices with small displays face challenges in presenting information clearly, making it difficult for users to discern and interact with content due to small text sizes and limited screen real estate, especially for users with larger fingers or reduced dexterity.
Innovation Solution
A media presentation system that concurrently displays images on a small mobile device screen and a larger screen, allowing the larger screen to show high-resolution content while the mobile device displays low-resolution content, enabling better visibility and user interaction through emulated command and control information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If information is presented on a small display of a mobile media device, then the device portability and compactness are maintained, but the information becomes difficult to discern and understand
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the display experience from two dimensions (small mobile screen) to three dimensions by projecting the image onto a large external surface (wall, screen, or other display surface), allowing users to view magnified content without carrying a large device
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary projection system that receives the mobile device's output and transfers it to a large external display surface, acting as a mediator between the small mobile screen and the user's need for large-scale viewing
2Device complexity
If virtual touch sensitive buttons are presented on a small display, then the device complexity is reduced, but users with large fingers or reduced dexterity find it difficult to operate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent projects the virtual control interface from the small mobile screen onto a large external surface, transforming the control experience from a confined two-dimensional space to an expanded three-dimensional space that accommodates various user dexterities
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a copied version of the virtual touch interface on a large external surface, allowing users to interact with replicated control elements that are larger and more accessible while maintaining the original device's functionality

AI summary
Systems and methods are operable to concurrently present images on a small display of a mobile media device and a large display of a media presentation system. An exemplary method receives emulated information from a mobile media device, wherein the emulated information corresponds to at least one image that is being currently presented on a display of the mobile media device; generates at least one image based upon the received emulated information, wherein the at least one image is configured for presentation on a display of a media system; and communicates the at least one image to a display of the media system. The image presented on the display of the media system is substantially the same image presented on the display of the mobile media device. The image presented on the display of the media system is substantially larger than the image presented on the display of the mobile media device.
