Remote Collaboration System for Wireless Screen Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless screen transmission technologies do not allow for seamless remote collaboration, where users cannot control or perform operations on other computers' screens being projected, limiting collaborative efforts during conferences.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for remote collaboration that enables a master computer to capture and transmit mouse operation information, detect cursor movement, and transfer interaction information to corresponding slave computers, allowing users to control multiple projected screens with ease by moving the mouse across split screens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple source end apparatuses simultaneously perform wireless screen transmission with a receiving end apparatus, then multiple contents can be displayed on the same screen, but users can only control their own computers and cannot perform operations on other users' computers
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving end apparatus acts as an intermediary that receives control inputs from one user and forwards them to another user's computer. When a user moves the mouse cursor to another user's split screen area, the receiving end intercepts this input and transmits it to the target computer, enabling cross-computer control without direct access between computers.
Solution Approach 2:
The receiving end apparatus performs multiple functions: it displays multiple split screens from different computers while also serving as a control relay station. The same device that presents multiple users' content also enables control transfer between those users' computers, making it a universal control hub for the collaboration system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users want to control other computers during conference, then collaboration can be enhanced, but system complexity increases due to cross-computer control mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving end apparatus serves as a mediator that simplifies the control system by centralizing the cross-computer control logic in one device rather than requiring complex peer-to-peer communication protocols between multiple computers. This intermediary approach reduces overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses cursor position copying as a control mechanism. Instead of implementing complex authentication and permission systems, the receiving end simply copies the mouse input from one user and redirects it to another user's computer based on cursor position, creating a simple yet effective control transfer mechanism.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for remote collaboration, the method includes: receiving mouse operation information of a user in the master computer which is captured and transmitted by the master computer; detecting a position of the mouse cursor on the master split screen in accordance with the mouse operation information, then when the cursor arrives at a boundary of the master split screen and continues to move in a direction away from the master split screen, detecting a current split screen connecting to the boundary, and displaying the cursor on the current split screen; and receiving interaction information transmitted by the master computer, and transferring the interaction information to a current slave computer corresponding to the current split screen, so as to cause the current slave computer to execute the interaction information, where the interaction information is the information which is obtained and intercepted by the master computer when the master computer detects interaction initiated by the user with the master computer. The present disclosure can realize the collaboration function in wireless screen transmission based on the display of multiple sources on the same screen, thus rendering the operations convenient.
