Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal system that enables seamless screen sharing and control between devices through wireless communication, using a block diagram of components such as a wireless communication unit, A/V input unit, user input unit, sensing unit, memory, interface unit, and controller, allowing for simultaneous screen capture and display of content across multiple devices via HDMI or USB interfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple devices share screen content through wireless communication, then user convenience and experience are improved, but device complexity and interface complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a screen sharing server as an intermediary component that mediates between the first electronic device (screen source) and the second electronic device (screen receiver). This server handles the complex tasks of screen content transmission, mirroring, and control signal relay, thereby simplifying the user interface and operation while maintaining multi-device connectivity. The server acts as a central coordinator that abstracts away the complexity from individual devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If screen capture and sharing functionality is added to enable seamless multi-screen service, then service versatility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into integrated components: the screen sharing server merges screen content transmission, mirroring, and control signal handling into a single system. Additionally, the electronic devices integrate screen capture functionality with their existing display and communication capabilities, allowing seamless multi-screen service without requiring separate dedicated hardware for each function. This merging approach enhances versatility while controlling overall system complexity.
3Productivity
If real-time screen mirroring and control is implemented across devices, then productivity and service efficiency are improved, but use of energy and data transmission increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous screen mirroring and control signal transmission between devices through the screen sharing server. Once the initial screen capture and transmission connection is established, the system maintains continuous data flow for real-time mirroring and control, avoiding repeated connection handshakes and setup procedures. This continuous operation mode improves service efficiency while optimizing energy usage compared to intermittent connection approaches.
