Multi-Window Display for Mobile Office Efficiency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current solutions for mobile office scenarios, such as screen sharing between mobile phones and PCs, do not support multi-window display, limiting the ability to efficiently share files and use multiple mobile phone applications concurrently on a PC.
Innovation Solution
A method that allows multiple windows from a mobile phone to be displayed on a PC, enabling independent operation and management of each application window, including resizing, positioning, and controlling mobile phone applications as if they were native PC applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If screen sharing software is used to display mobile phone content on PC, then screen content and data can be shared between devices, but multi-window display cannot be implemented and only single-window display is supported
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile phone display content is segmented into multiple independent windows on the PC screen. Each window corresponds to a specific mobile phone application or interface, allowing independent display and control. The system divides the single projected screen into multiple selectable window regions, enabling users to view and interact with different applications simultaneously without complexity of traditional multi-monitor setups.
2Productivity
If traditional screen sharing is used, then connection between mobile phone and PC is established, but the ability to use multiple mobile phone applications concurrently on PC is limited
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple mobile phone applications are merged into a single PC interface through multi-window display. Users can access and interact with multiple applications simultaneously within one PC window system, combining the functionality of multiple apps without requiring separate connection sessions or complex switching between different screen sharing instances.
Solution Approach 2:
The window display system is made dynamic, allowing users to freely open, close, maximize, minimize, and rearrange windows corresponding to different mobile phone applications. Windows can be dynamically created when applications are launched and removed when closed, providing flexible concurrent access without fixed structural constraints.
3Productivity
If single-window display is implemented, then simple display mapping is achieved, but office efficiency for file sharing and multiple application use is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple application windows are prepared and made available for simultaneous access before actual use is needed. Users can preview available applications in the window list and quickly switch between them without time-consuming sequential opening or complex navigation, reducing switching time and improving office workflow efficiency.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application provide a multi-window display method, a first electronic device, and a second electronic device. The method is applied to the first electronic device and the second electronic device that communicate with each other. When a plurality of applications run on a mobile phone, a plurality of windows of the mobile phone can be displayed on a PC, and each window is correspondingly used to display a different application. A user can perform an operation on each mobile phone application by using a window that corresponds to the mobile phone application and that is displayed on the PC. In addition, the operation performed by the user on the mobile phone application on the PC does not affect use of another function of the user on the mobile phone. This improves office efficiency such as file sharing, and improves user experience.
