SCREEN SHARING METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18374267 titled 'SCREEN SHARING METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
An electronic device is described in this patent application. It consists of a communication circuit, a display, a memory, and a processor. The communication circuit, display, and memory are all connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, enable the processor to perform several functions.
- The device can establish a communication connection with an external electronic device for screen sharing.
- It can determine a first area on the display that is shared with the external device in a screen output.
- The device can identify a second area on the screen based on user input.
- It can transmit image data of a third screen to the external device, where the third screen is a synthesis of the first screen corresponding to the first area and the second screen corresponding to the second area.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Collaborative work: This device allows users to share their screens with others, facilitating collaboration and teamwork.
- Remote assistance: The screen sharing capability can be used for remote troubleshooting or support, where an expert can view and control the user's screen.
- Presentations and demonstrations: Users can share specific areas of their screens during presentations or demonstrations, enhancing the visual experience for the audience.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Limited screen real estate: By allowing users to share specific areas of their screens, this technology addresses the limitation of screen space when multiple users need to view or interact with different content simultaneously.
- Remote collaboration challenges: This technology enables seamless screen sharing and collaboration between users located in different physical locations, overcoming the barriers of distance and time zones.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced collaboration: Users can easily share their screens and work together, improving productivity and efficiency.
- Improved remote support: The ability to share screens facilitates remote troubleshooting and support, reducing the need for physical presence.
- Customizable screen sharing: Users can select specific areas of their screens to share, providing flexibility and control over the shared content.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a communication circuit, a display, a memory, and a processor operatively connected to the communication circuit, the display, and the memory. The memory is configured to store one or more instructions which, when executed, allow the processor to: establish a communication connection, for screen sharing, with an external electronic device via the communication circuit; determine a first area, which is shared with the external electronic device, in a screen output on the display; identify a second area, which is selected based on a user input, in the screen; and transmit, to the external electronic device, image data of a third screen in which a first screen corresponding to the first area and a second screen corresponding to the second area are synthesized.
