Solution Overview

Problem

Current smart screen mirroring technologies require manual switching of mirrored pictures using a remote control, which is complex and disrupts user experience, especially in scenarios like game battles where pausing the game is necessary.

Innovation Solution

Implement a method where the smart screen dynamically switches the display positions of double-mirrored pictures based on the relative position change of the mobile phones, allowing adaptive switching without user intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual switching of mirrored pictures using a remote control is implemented, then the smart screen can display multiple mirrored pictures, but the operation complexity increases and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedouble-channel screen mirroring capabilityVSAvoidmanual switching operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects the relative positions of multiple mobile phones and autonomously switches the display regions on the smart screen without requiring manual remote control operations. The smart screen monitors position changes and dynamically adjusts the mirrored picture display accordingly, making the system self-regulating and eliminating complex user interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The display region assignment is made dynamic rather than static, automatically adapting to the real-time relative positions of mobile phones. When a mobile phone's position changes relative to others, the system dynamically reassigns display regions to maintain intuitive spatial correspondence, enabling flexible and adaptive operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual switching of mirrored pictures is required, then display control is achieved, but time loss increases due to pausing activities like games

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepicture switching functionVSAvoidgame interruption time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The automatic position-based switching mechanism ensures continuous and uninterrupted display control during activities such as gaming. By eliminating the need for manual remote control operations, the system maintains continuous gameplay without pauses, as the display regions are automatically adjusted based on mobile phone positions in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the smart screen supports double-channel screen mirroring, then entertainment experience is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-device mirroring supportVSAvoidscreen control system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors the relative positions of mobile phones and uses this feedback to automatically adjust display region assignments. This closed-loop feedback mechanism simplifies the control system by using automatic position detection and response, eliminating the need for complex manual control interfaces while supporting multiple devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A double-channel screen mirroring method includes receiving, from a first source device, first screen-mirroring data, receiving, from a second source device, second screen-mirroring data, wherein the first source device and the second source device have a first relative position relationship, displaying, based on the first screen-mirroring data, a first mirrored picture corresponding to the first source device in a first region of a display screen, displaying, based on the second screen-mirroring data, a second mirrored picture corresponding to the second source device in a second region of the display screen, wherein the first region and the second region have the first relative position relationship, and switching, when the first source device and the second source device change from the first relative position relationship to a second relative position relationship, the first region to displaying the second mirrored picture and the second region to displaying the first mirrored picture.
