Solution Overview

Problem

Current screen projection technologies face challenges with compatibility due to varying video output interfaces on computers, leading to complex deployments and cost inefficiencies, and they often leak user privacy by projecting entire screens, including sensitive information.

Innovation Solution

A wireless auxiliary stream device that connects to both terminal and extended display devices, providing a unified interface for screen projection, allowing selective content projection through a user-friendly interaction interface with triggerable function keys, and encoding data for secure transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If wired connection with multiple video output interfaces is used, then compatibility with different computers is improved, but device complexity and deployment difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecompatibilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a wireless communication module that supports multiple wireless communication protocols (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.), enabling the projection device to universally connect with different terminal devices without requiring multiple physical interfaces. This multi-functional wireless module replaces traditional wired video output interfaces, achieving broad compatibility while maintaining simple device architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical wired connection system (physical video output interfaces like HDMI, VGA) with a wireless communication system. By using wireless transmission to carry projection data, the device eliminates the need for multiple physical interfaces and connection lines, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining compatibility with various terminal devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Productivity

If entire screen projection is performed, then content sharing is achieved, but user privacy is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent sharing efficiencyVSAvoidprivacy leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the screen content into different types (such as presentation content, chat windows, notification messages, etc.) and applies different projection strategies to each segment. By identifying and separating sensitive content from non-sensitive content, the system can selectively project only appropriate content while keeping sensitive information private, thus resolving the contradiction between content sharing and privacy protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements different projection quality levels for different regions or types of content on the screen. Important or sensitive areas (like chat windows, personal messages) are excluded or blurred, while presentation content areas are projected clearly. This local differentiation of projection quality allows effective content sharing while protecting user privacy in specific regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If wireless screen projection is implemented, then deployment simplicity is improved, but network resource dependency increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeployment simplicityVSAvoidnetwork resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically adjusts the projection data transmission mode based on network conditions and content types. When network resources are abundant, higher quality projection data is transmitted; when network resources are constrained, the system adapts by reducing data quality or selecting more efficient transmission protocols. This dynamic adjustment maintains deployment simplicity while optimizing network resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
