Multi-Device Collaboration Interface for Direct Mode Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional multi-device collaboration systems limit user experience by not allowing selection of desired collaboration modes during establishment, requiring users to change modes through separate applications, which is inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A method that enables users to select a target collaboration mode by displaying mode identifiers on a device interface, allowing intuitive selection and switching between collaboration modes directly on the device page.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a default collaboration mode is used when establishing multi-device collaboration, then the collaboration can be established quickly, but the user cannot select their expected collaboration mode
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays all available collaboration modes in advance before the user establishes multi-device collaboration. This allows users to see and select their expected collaboration mode during the establishment process, rather than being forced to use a default mode and change it later through separate applications.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users change collaboration mode through another application, then the collaboration mode can be changed, but the operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the collaboration mode selection function directly into the multi-device collaboration establishment interface. Users can select different collaboration modes (such as screen projection, file transfer, or audio sharing) within the same application and interface where they establish the connection, eliminating the need to switch to separate applications for mode changes.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple collaboration modes are supported, then the system becomes more versatile, but the user interface becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display of collaboration modes by showing them as distinct, separately selectable options in the user interface. Each collaboration mode is presented as an independent choice that users can clearly identify and select, avoiding a cluttered or confusing interface despite supporting multiple modes.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application provide a multi-device collaboration method, an electronic device, and a related product. The method includes: A first electronic device switches from a first page to a second page, and establishes a first near field communication connection to a first near field device in response to a user's operation on the first page, where on the second page, a device identifier of the first electronic device comes into contact with a device identifier of the first near field device; and the first electronic device switches to a third page, maintains the first near field communication connection to the first near field device, and establishes the first near field communication connection to a second near field device in response to the user's operation on the second page, where on the third page, the device identifier of the first electronic device comes into contact with each of the device identifier of the first near field device and a device identifier of the second near field device. In this way, after establishing the near field communication connection to the first near field device, the first electronic device may further establish the near field communication connection to the second near field device, thereby implementing establishment of simultaneous near field communication connection to the three electronic devices, and improving user experience.
