Selective Screen Sharing with Event Continuity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing screen sharing technologies inconvenience users by displaying all screens and audio signals when only specific screens and audio are desired, and may stop sharing when events occur, such as message or call events.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device that allows users to selectively share specific screens and audio signals with external devices, while continuing to perform functions related to events without interrupting screen sharing operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If all screens are shared with external electronic device, then complete screen data is transmitted, but user cannot select specific screens to share
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the screen sharing function into selectable individual screens or window groups. Users can choose to share specific screens (first screen, second screen, etc.) or all screens collectively. This segmentation allows flexible selection of sharing content without requiring complex configuration for each screen.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables dynamic switching between different screen sharing modes. Users can change the sharing configuration from sharing all screens to sharing only specific screens, or switch between different window groups during the sharing process. This dynamic adjustment capability provides adaptability without permanent complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If all audio signals are shared with external electronic device, then complete audio data is transmitted, but user cannot select specific audio signals to share
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments audio signals into individual streams corresponding to different screens or applications. Users can select which audio signals to share alongside their corresponding screens, or choose to share audio for all screens. This segmentation approach allows granular audio control without complex audio routing configuration.
3Productivity
If screen sharing stops when event is received, then event function is prioritized, but screen sharing operation is interrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic priority management for screen sharing and event handling. When an event occurs, the system can temporarily adjust the screen sharing behavior (e.g., pause, continue, or switch content) based on event type, then resume or maintain sharing after event completion. This dynamic approach allows both event responsiveness and continuous sharing functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent ensures continuous screen sharing operation even during event handling. The sharing function maintains its execution while event-specific functions are performed, allowing users to experience both the event notification and ongoing screen sharing without interruption. This continuity preserves the useful action of screen sharing while accommodating event responses.
