ELECTRONIC DEVICE SHARING PERIPHERAL DEVICE WITH EXTERNAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129705 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE SHARING PERIPHERAL DEVICE WITH EXTERNAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that facilitates sharing functions with external electronic devices based on user input from a peripheral device.

• The device receives user input from a peripheral device.
• It transmits a share function request to external electronic devices nearby.
• Receives a response from the external devices and checks if they are registered to the same user account.
• Determines if the share function is allowed on the external devices.
• If allowed and registered to the same user account, transmits input information to display the cursor on the external device.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in collaborative work environments where multiple users need to interact with the same content on different devices simultaneously.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of seamlessly sharing input information between multiple devices, making collaboration more efficient and user-friendly.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved collaboration, increased productivity, and a more intuitive user experience when working across multiple devices.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include software for remote teamwork, virtual meetings, and interactive presentations.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be systems that enable screen sharing or remote control of devices, but this innovation focuses on sharing input information for cursor control specifically.

How does the device ensure secure communication between the peripheral device and external electronic devices?

The abstract does not provide details on the security measures implemented to protect the communication between devices.

What types of peripheral devices are compatible with this electronic device?

The abstract does not specify the range of peripheral devices that can be used with this technology.

Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic device is provided, which receives a user input from a peripheral device, transmits a request associated with a share function for the peripheral device to at least one external electronic device near the electronic device, receives a response to the request from the at least one external electronic device, determines whether the at least one external electronic device is registered to a same user account, determines whether the share function for the peripheral device is allowed at the at least one external electronic device, and if the at least one external electronic device is registered to the same user account and the share function is allowed at the at least one external electronic device, and based on a determination that the user input corresponds to a location of a cursor being out of the display screen, transmits input information associated with the user input from the peripheral device to the at least one external electronic device, such that the cursor is displayed at the at least one external electronic device.
