Screen Projection Window Management for Resource Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing screen mirroring technologies fail to fully utilize window resources, leading to wasted resources and a poor user experience, as they do not allow for efficient management of projection windows and can result in users at certain viewing angles being unable to see the mirrored content.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for screen mirroring that includes acquiring disconnection instructions, determining the number of connected projection sources, and adjusting the display of projection information based on the number of open windows, allowing for efficient use of window resources and user-friendly management of projection windows.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If screen mirroring application software simply projects content from one device to another, then the implementation is straightforward, but window resources are not fully utilized and resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic window management where the number of projection windows automatically adjusts based on the number of connected projection sources. When projection sources are disconnected, the system dynamically closes corresponding windows to prevent resource waste, while maintaining simple projection functionality when sources are active.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes feedback mechanisms that monitor the connection status of projection sources and automatically adjust window states accordingly. This feedback loop ensures windows remain open only when needed, eliminating resource waste while preserving the simplicity of the projection process.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple projection sources are connected, then more content can be displayed, but window resources may be insufficient and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the projection display into multiple independent windows, with each window corresponding to a specific projection source. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple projection sources simultaneously while providing organized, manageable display regions that improve user experience through clear content separation.
Solution Approach 2:
Each projection window is designed as a universal container that can display content from any connected projection source. The windows serve multiple functions including content display, source identification, and automatic state management, enhancing both adaptability and ease of operation.
3Device complexity
If projection windows are not managed efficiently, then the system remains simple, but resources are wasted and user experience is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service window management where the system automatically monitors projection source connections and adjusts window states without user intervention. When a projection source disconnects, the corresponding window automatically closes, eliminating resource waste while maintaining system simplicity through automated resource management.

AI summary
Provided are a screen projection method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable medium. The method comprises: acquiring a disconnection instruction; according to the disconnection instruction, disconnecting at least one first target screen projection source from a screen projection device, and determining a second connection number, wherein the second connection number is the number of first target screen projection sources which are not disconnected; and according to the second connection number and a first window number, displaying screen projection information projected by each first target projection screen source, which is not disconnected, onto the screen projection device, wherein the first window number is the number of target windows that have been opened on the screen projection device. By means of the method, window resources are saved on, and the user experience is improved.
