Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies fail to integrate operations on multiple remote devices while sharing a screen on a remote display device, as they rely on pseudo device drivers and core drivers that limit equipment sharing and operation integration.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that includes operation devices connected to communication terminals, operation integration means to input information from these devices, a display device with communication functions, and control means to manage screen generation and display, enabling the integration of operations across multiple remote devices on a shared remote display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If pseudo device driver and pseudo core driver are provided to control remote devices, then device control capability is improved, but operation integration capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice control capabilityVSAvoidoperation integration capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple operation devices connected to different communication terminals into a unified operation space. The operation integration unit combines operation information from multiple devices (keyboard, mouse, touch panel) into a single coordinated system, enabling seamless cross-device operation integration while maintaining individual device control capabilities through the pseudo driver architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The operation integration unit serves as a universal interface that handles operations from various types of devices (keyboard, mouse, touch panel, game controller) uniformly. It provides multi-functional operation integration capability that works across different device types and communication terminals, resolving the limitation of device-specific control approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If remote devices are controlled individually through pseudo drivers, then device control precision is improved, but screen sharing capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice control precisionVSAvoidscreen sharing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The operation integration unit acts as an intermediary between multiple operation devices and the display device. It receives operation information from various devices, integrates them into a unified command stream, and coordinates screen display operations, thereby enabling screen sharing functionality while preserving precise individual device control through the existing pseudo driver layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple communication terminals operate independently, then terminal autonomy is improved, but operation integration deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveterminal autonomyVSAvoidoperation integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the operation integration function into a dedicated operation integration unit that operates independently from individual communication terminals. Each terminal maintains its autonomy while the operation integration unit collects and combines operation information from all terminals, enabling operation integration without compromising terminal independence or autonomy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
