ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SHARING SCREEN WITH EXTERNAL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18484763 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SHARING SCREEN WITH EXTERNAL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that can mirror full-screen information displayed on its display to an external device, but can also replace this information with the execution screen of a specific application based on certain conditions being met.

  • The electronic device includes a communication module, a display, and at least one processor.
  • The processor can transmit full-screen information for mirroring to an external device.
  • It can identify if certain conditions are met based on an event occurring.
  • If the conditions are satisfied, it can transmit information on the execution screen of a specific application to the external device instead of the full-screen information.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Screen sharing applications for presentations or collaborations.
  • Remote troubleshooting or tech support scenarios.

Problems Solved

  • Streamlining the mirroring process by focusing only on relevant application screens.
  • Enhancing user experience by providing targeted information to external devices.

Benefits

  • Improved efficiency in sharing information with external devices.
  • Enhanced user control over displayed content.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Business communication tools.
  • Educational technology platforms.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be screen mirroring applications that allow users to share their device screens with external displays. However, the specific feature of replacing full-screen information with application execution screens based on conditions being met may be a unique aspect of this technology.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle security concerns related to sharing sensitive information on external devices?

This article does not address the security measures implemented to protect the data being transmitted to external devices.

What types of applications are most suitable for this technology, and are there any limitations in terms of compatibility with different software?

The article does not specify which applications are best suited for this technology or if there are any compatibility issues with certain software platforms.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication module, a display, and at least one processor operatively connected to the communication module and the display, wherein the at least one processor is configured to, in a state that full screen information on, for mirroring, a full screen displayed on the display is transmitted to an external device via the communication module, identify whether at least one configured condition is satisfied, based on an event occurring, and based on the at least one configured condition being satisfied, transmit, to the external device, information on an execution screen of at least one application among execution screens of applications being displayed on the display, in replacement of the full screen information so as to mirror only the execution screen of the application.
