Virtual Display Interface for Cross-Platform Data Exchange
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cross-platform transmission apparatuses require both display devices to be turned on and limit operation to the same physical location, making it inconvenient for data exchange and unsuitable for devices with small displays, as they often suffer from compatibility issues and unsatisfactory image quality.
Innovation Solution
A transmission apparatus and method that allows a first electronic device to be displayed as a virtual device on a second electronic device, enabling intuitive operation, browsing, editing, and resource sharing across different operating systems, using a composite driver, application programs, and a transmission controller to present a virtual display image, allowing functions like copying-and-pasting and dragging-and-dropping.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If both display devices are turned on for data exchange in conventional transmission apparatus, then data exchange between devices can be performed, but the user must simultaneously monitor two display images which limits the distance between devices and increases operational complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the first electronic device's display interface on the second electronic device. Instead of requiring both physical displays to be active and monitored, the system copies the display output of device A to device B's screen, allowing the user to interact with device A's interface through device B's display. This eliminates the need to simultaneously monitor two separate displays while maintaining full data exchange functionality.
2Weight of moving object
If conventional transmission apparatus is used with small-sized display devices, then portability is maintained, but image quality becomes unsatisfactory and viewing/editing operations are unfavorable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the display dimension from the small portable device screen to a larger external display device. The virtual device interface, originally constrained by the small display dimensions, is now rendered on the larger display of the second electronic device. This dimensional extension allows users to maintain the portability of small devices while accessing high-quality, large-format display for viewing and editing operations.
3Ease of operation
If conventional transmission apparatus requires display devices to be turned on for operation, then real-time interaction is possible, but remote access and flexible operation locations are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a virtual representation of the first electronic device that can be accessed on the second device's display. This virtual copy allows the user to interact with the first device's interface and data from any location where the second device can connect, eliminating the requirement for both physical devices to be in the same location or for both displays to be active simultaneously. The virtual interface can be accessed remotely while maintaining real-time interaction capabilities.

AI summary
A transmission system includes a transmission apparatus, a first electronic device and a second electronic device electrically connected to one another. The first electronic includes a composite driver, a first application program, a first display image and a virtual display device. The first composite driver emulates the virtual display device according to the first display image. The second electronic device includes a second application program and a second display image. The transmission interface includes a transmission controller and two transmission interfaces. The two transmission interfaces are connected to the first electronic device and the second electronic device, respectively. When the first application program transmits output data corresponding to the virtual display device via the two transmission interfaces and the transmission controller to the second application program, a virtual display image corresponding to the first display image is presented on the second display image.
