Multi-Screen Hub Architecture for Cross-Device Content Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing screen devices operate independently, making it difficult to conveniently and collaboratively manage content across multiple devices, especially when a user wants to display the same content or change content on multiple devices, and existing projection technologies are limited by proprietary applications and operating system compatibility, preventing flexible management.
Innovation Solution
A screen management hub is deployed to interconnect and manage multiple screen devices, creating a screen host unit for each device to facilitate centralized management, allowing for independent display, application access, and user interaction through screen host units, enabling flexible control over content distribution and synchronization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If screen devices operate independently, then each device maintains its own operating system and processing capability, but it becomes difficult to conveniently and collaboratively manage content across multiple devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a screen management hub as an intermediary component that connects multiple screen devices. The hub creates screen host units for each connected device, enabling centralized management of content across independent devices without requiring them to share the same operating system or processing architecture.
2Productivity
If existing projection technologies are used, then content can be displayed on multiple devices, but they are limited by proprietary applications and operating system compatibility
Solution Approach 1:
The screen management hub implements a universal interface that works across different operating systems and device types. The hub creates screen host units that can manage various screen devices regardless of their native operating system, eliminating the limitations of proprietary projection applications.
3Ease of operation
If a screen management hub is deployed to interconnect multiple devices, then centralized management and flexible control are enabled, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments functionality by separating the management logic (in the screen management hub) from the display functionality (in individual screen devices). Each device connects through a standardized interface, and the hub handles complex management tasks independently, reducing the operational complexity for users while maintaining system sophistication.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for multi-screen management. In some implementations, a plurality of connection requests may be received from a plurality of screen devices respectively. A screen host unit corresponding to each screen device may be created. A connection of each screen host unit to a corresponding screen device may be established. Screen display data may be transmitted, by at least one screen host unit, to at least one corresponding screen device through at least one corresponding connection respectively. Moreover, in some implementations, a connection request may be transmitted to a screen management hub. A connection to a corresponding screen host unit created by the screen management hub may be established. Screen display data may be received from the screen host unit through the connection. The screen display data may be displayed.
