Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile terminal screens are too small to effectively display multimedia images, limiting the viewing experience due to space constraints and the impracticality of wired connections for larger screen amplification.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a method using Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to enable two mobile terminals to share and synchronize multimedia stream data, allowing them to decode and display corresponding parts of the data in a synchronized manner, effectively splicing their screens to amplify the multimedia image.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If mobile terminal screen size is increased, then multimedia image display quality is improved, but portability and convenience are deteriorated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen display areaVSAvoidportability and convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the display task into segments by using multiple mobile terminals (typically two) to share and display different portions of the same multimedia content. Each terminal decodes and displays a specific region (e.g., left half, right half, upper half, lower half) of the video frame, collectively forming a complete enlarged display without requiring a single large-screen device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Area of stationary object

If wired connection method is used for screen amplification, then display size is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation are deteriorated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay sizeVSAvoidconnection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical wired connection system with a wireless communication system. Mobile terminals use wireless protocols (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or proprietary wireless interfaces) to transmit video data and synchronization signals, eliminating the need for physical cables and connectors while achieving the same screen amplification effect.

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

3Area of stationary object

4Ease of operation

If single mobile terminal displays multimedia content, then portability is maintained, but display quality is deteriorated

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoiddisplay area
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the display capabilities of multiple mobile terminals to achieve a combined display area larger than any single terminal. By coordinating multiple devices to work together as a unified display system, the solution combines their individual screen real estate to create an enlarged virtual display without sacrificing the portability advantages of using standard mobile terminals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A method, system and mobile terminal for implementing multimedia playing are described, which includes that a mobile terminal sends multimedia stream data to be played to another-end mobile terminal via a connection established based on NFC technology, and the mobile terminal and the another-end mobile terminal decode the multimedia stream data to be played, and respectively play corresponding parts of the decoded multimedia stream data in accordance with the respective part playing mode. In this way, two mobile terminals can respectively playing part of a multimedia image based on NFC technology, a multimedia image can be clearly amplified and displayed via the splicing of mobile terminal screens, thereby helping a user quickly solve the problem that a mobile terminal screen is small and not good for amplifying and displaying the multimedia image.
