Solution Overview

Problem

Long latency occurs when a projected electronic device receives an instruction corresponding to a user operation during projection reverse control due to the need for the receiving device to process and transmit the instruction.

Innovation Solution

The method involves the projected electronic device establishing a direct connection to a peripheral device, allowing the peripheral device to send instructions directly to the projected device, bypassing intermediate processing by the receiving device, thereby simplifying control instruction transmission and reducing latency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the receiving device processes and transmits user operation instructions through a signaling channel, then reverse control functionality is achieved, but latency increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereverse control functionalityVSAvoidlatency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the instruction processing function from the receiving device and relocates it to the projected device. The peripheral device sends instructions directly to the projected device, which processes and executes them locally, eliminating the need for the receiving device to forward these instructions through signaling channels, thus reducing latency while maintaining reverse control functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a direct connection between the peripheral device and the projected device as an intermediary communication path. This new pathway allows user operation instructions to bypass the receiving device's processing and transmission steps, enabling low-latency control while the receiving device continues to handle its own display and rendering functions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If the receiving device processes user operations before transmitting instructions, then control accuracy is improved, but response time deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol accuracyVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent inverts the conventional control architecture by allowing the projected device to receive and process user instructions directly, rather than having the receiving device forward processed instructions back to the projected device. This inversion eliminates the round-trip processing delay while the projected device maintains full capability to accurately interpret and execute control commands

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)
