Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multi-screen interaction methods require users to perform multiple complex steps to establish connections between smart terminals, leading to reduced user experience due to increased intervention and operational complexity.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that involves a central device to match operation instructions and user identities between terminal devices, simplifying the process by automating the handover of operations from one terminal to another through the exchange of control instructions and related information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually select target devices and establish connections through multiple steps, then connection reliability can be ensured, but operation complexity increases and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation complexityVSAvoidconnection establishment process
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic device discovery and connection establishment without requiring manual user selection. The first terminal device automatically discovers second terminal devices in the network and establishes connections autonomously, eliminating the need for users to manually navigate device lists and select targets, thereby significantly reducing operation complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Terminal devices perform preliminary actions by automatically discovering and establishing connections before user interaction is needed. The system pre-establishes communication pathways between devices in the network, so when a user initiates a transfer, the connection is already ready, eliminating manual selection steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of time

If multiple manual selection steps are required to determine target device, then connection accuracy is improved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime for device selectionVSAvoidautomatic device selection
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic device discovery and target determination without requiring user intervention. The first terminal device autonomously scans the network, identifies available second terminal devices, and selects appropriate targets automatically, eliminating time-consuming manual selection processes while maintaining connection accuracy through automated validation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical process of users physically selecting devices from lists through interface navigation is replaced with automated electronic discovery mechanisms. The system uses network protocols to automatically detect, identify, and establish connections with target devices, substituting manual user actions with automated system processes that are both faster and equally accurate

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A multi-screen interaction method, devices, and system are provided. The method includes acquiring a first message from a first terminal device. The first message includes a first operation instruction and first state information. A second message is acquired from a second terminal device. The second message includes a second operation instruction. The method further includes searching, according to the second operation instruction, for an operation instruction that is matched with the second operation instruction, among stored operation instructions. A first control instruction is sent to the first terminal device and a second control instruction is sent to the second terminal device, if it is found that the second operation instruction is matched with the first operation instruction.
