Mobile Terminal Remote Control via Widget Coding Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies can only enable long-distance control of program information between a cell phone and a television, failing to support the complex graphic interfaces and data-intensive applications on modern televisions, such as web browsing and games, due to limitations in data transfer and GUI reproduction.
Innovation Solution
Establishing a wireless connection between a television and a mobile terminal to send widget coding information, allowing the mobile terminal to generate a control interface and perform operations on the television's GUI, thereby reducing data transfer and simplifying the reproduction of complex GUIs for remote control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the television sends complete GUI data to the mobile terminal for remote control, then the mobile terminal can reproduce the television interface, but the data transfer volume increases and bandwidth is consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential widget coding information from the complete GUI data. Instead of transmitting the entire GUI interface data, the television identifies and sends only the widget coding information (such as widget types, positions, and basic attributes) that is necessary for the mobile terminal to reproduce the control interface, thereby significantly reducing data transfer volume while maintaining functional capability
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile terminal generates a simplified control interface by copying the essential structure and layout information from the television's GUI using the received widget coding information. This copying approach recreates the necessary interface elements without requiring transmission of the complete original GUI data, achieving interface reproduction with minimal data transfer
2Adaptability or versatility
If the television transmits detailed widget information to support complex GUI functions, then the mobile terminal can control diverse television functions, but the complexity of data processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex GUI into independent widget units, each represented by compact coding information. By dividing the overall interface into discrete widget components (such as buttons, text fields, sliders) and transmitting their individual coding information separately, the system enables the mobile terminal to process and reproduce each widget independently, reducing overall processing complexity while supporting diverse control functions
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the detailed GUI data into a simplified parameter representation format using widget coding information. This parameter change converts complex graphical interface data into structured, compact codes that contain essential information (widget type, position, size, basic attributes) in a standardized format, making it easier for the mobile terminal to process and reproduce the interface with reduced computational complexity

AI summary
The present invention discloses a method, an apparatus and a system for a mobile terminal to remotely control a television. The method includes: obtaining widget coding information of a widget included in a current GUI of a television; sending a graph reproduction control command to a mobile terminal wirelessly connected to the television, where the graph reproduction control command includes the widget coding information used for instructing the mobile terminal to generate a control interface including a widget corresponding to the widget coding information; receiving input event information sent by the mobile terminal, where the input event information includes operation object information and operation instruction information that are captured by the mobile terminal in the control interface; and determining a target widget in the current GUI of the television according to the operation object information, and performing an operation corresponding to the operation instruction information on the target widget.
