SCREEN CASTING METHOD AND RELATED APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240184505 titled 'SCREEN CASTING METHOD AND RELATED APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a system where a floating window is displayed on a home screen of an electronic device. The content of the floating window is determined based on image data in an extended display region, and operations on the floating window can be cast to another electronic device.
- The system displays a floating window on the home screen of an electronic device.
- The content of the floating window is determined by image data in an extended display region.
- Operations on the floating window can be cast to another electronic device.
- The system can switch the content of the floating window to a different user interface based on an application window.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in multi-device collaboration systems, remote control applications, and interactive presentations.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of seamlessly transferring content between different electronic devices and user interfaces.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced user experience, improved productivity, and increased flexibility in managing content across devices.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include software development tools, remote meeting platforms, and educational technology solutions.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be the concept of screen mirroring or casting between devices, which has been used in various applications for sharing content.
What are the security implications of casting content between devices in this system?
Casting content between devices in this system could raise concerns about data privacy and security. It is important to ensure that sensitive information is not inadvertently shared or accessed by unauthorized parties.
How does this system handle compatibility issues between different types of electronic devices?
The system may need to incorporate protocols or standards for ensuring compatibility between different types of electronic devices, such as ensuring that the casting of content is supported across various operating systems and hardware configurations.
Original Abstract Submitted
a first electronic device displays a floating window on display content of a home screen. a first user interface is displayed in the floating window, the display content of the home screen is determined based on image data in a home screen display region, and display content of the floating window is determined based on image data in a first extended display region. a first operation on the floating window is detected, and the first electronic device casts, the display content of the floating window to a second electronic device based on the image data in the first extended display region. the first electronic device switches, in response to a first instruction, the display content of the floating window to a second user interface based on an application window run in the first extended display region.
