Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If Non-Interactive approach (wireless screen mirroring) is used, then users gain larger screen display, but cannot operate directly on the stationary device and interaction is uni-directional
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a remote desktop service as an intermediary layer between the mobile device and stationary device. This mediator enables bidirectional communication by receiving input commands from the stationary device and transmitting them to the mobile device application, while also streaming display output back to the stationary device, thus resolving the limitation of non-interactive screen mirroring.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a universal interaction interface that works across different operating systems. The remote desktop service can connect any mobile device (iOS, Android) with any stationary device (Windows, macOS, Linux), providing multi-functional operation capabilities beyond what is limited to same-OS connections in traditional interactive approaches.
2Ease of operation
If Interactive approach (cable connection) is used, then bidirectional operation is enabled, but devices must have the same operating system which limits versatility
Solution Approach 1:
The remote desktop service acts as a protocol translator and intermediary that bridges heterogeneous operating systems. It captures input events from the stationary device, packages them into universal communication protocols, executes them on the mobile device, and streams results back, enabling bidirectional operation across different OS platforms without requiring same-OS compatibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical requirement of same-OS compatibility with a software-based communication layer. Instead of relying on direct OS-level compatibility, the system uses network-based message passing and protocol translation to achieve interoperability, substituting mechanical compatibility constraints with flexible software communication mechanisms.
3Productivity
If file transfer via remote storage services is used, then files can be transferred between devices, but the process is indirect and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The remote desktop service provides a direct intermediary channel for file transfer between the mobile device and stationary device. Instead of using indirect remote storage services, users can drag and drop files directly through the established communication channel, significantly reducing transfer time and improving productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a persistent communication channel and file transfer interface in advance during the remote desktop connection setup. This preliminary action enables immediate file transfer capability without requiring separate connection establishment or authentication steps during the actual file transfer operation.

AI summary
A method of operating, from a stationary device, an application that is running on a mobile device is disclosed. The method includes causing the stationary device to open a window that will display content of an application running on the mobile device, sending the content from the application running on the mobile device to the stationary device, receiving operation commands for the application running on the mobile device from the stationary device, the operation commands being operable to cause actions to be executed by the application running on the mobile device, and sending new content from the application running on the mobile device to the stationary device, the new content resulting from the operation commands having been executed by the application running on the mobile device. The mobile device has a first operating system and the stationary device has a second operating system different from the first operating system.
