Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multi-host systems face challenges in efficiently sharing images and operations of human-machine interface devices across multiple computers, limiting convenience and flexibility in human-machine interaction.
Innovation Solution
A multi-host system and operation sharing method that determine whether operating information of a human-machine interface device meets specific switching conditions, allowing the first host device or second host device to operate screens on a second display based on comparison results, enabling seamless sharing of screen and operation information through a bridge device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a human-machine interface device connected to one computer is shared with another computer, then the convenience of operation is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a bridge device as an intermediary component that mediates between the first host device and the second host device. The bridge device receives operating information from the first host device and forwards it to the second host device, enabling the human-machine interface device connected to the first computer to control the second computer without direct complex connections between the hosts. This intermediary approach simplifies the overall system architecture while achieving the desired operation sharing functionality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If screen sharing between multiple computers is enabled, then the flexibility of human-machine interaction is improved, but the loss of information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the bridge device forwards operating information from the first host device to the second host device, and the second host device can send display information back through the bridge device. This bidirectional feedback loop ensures that operating actions taken on the first computer are accurately transmitted to and executed on the second computer, maintaining information integrity while enabling flexible screen sharing and cross-computer control capabilities.

AI summary
A multi-host system and an operation sharing method are provided. In the method, whether operating information of a human-machine interface device being conformed with a switching condition is determined through a first software. When the operating information is conformed with the switching condition, operating the screen displayed by the second display according to the operating information of the human-machine interface device through a first host device or a second host device. Accordingly, interaction convenience and flexibility between multiple host devices are improved.
