  • Patent number: 10693924
    Abstract: A method and system for conducting meetings, e.g. making it easy for the user to connect his device to the meeting or come to a common shared view of the meeting content, where all devices participating in the meeting are located within one physical meeting room. In another embodiment, at least some devices are located outside the meeting room. In principle there is no meeting room necessary, but all devices can be distributed anywhere in a region or in the world, and after connection, the meeting content is shared to all physical meeting rooms and remote devices of the system.

  • Patent number: 10608864
    Abstract: A method of establishing a paid connection between multi-platforms, where a transmitting end application is installed in a transmitting end apparatus of a sharing source and a receiving end application is installed in a receiving end apparatus of a sharing target. When establishing a connection, the transmitting end application/receiving end application confirms whether a unique ID of the receiving end apparatus/transmitting end apparatus exists in an exception list, and confirms whether the receiving end application/transmitting end apparatus makes payment based on an operating system used by the transmitting end apparatus/receiving end application, in order to determine establishing a limited or an unlimited connection between the transmitting end apparatus and the receiving end apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20170250830
    Abstract: A method of establishing a paid connection using a screen mirroring application between multi-platforms, where a transmitting end application is installed in a transmitting end apparatus of a sharing source and a receiving end application is installed in a receiving end apparatus of a sharing target. When establishing a connection, the transmitting end application confirms if an unique ID of the receiving end apparatus exists in an exception list, and if the receiving end application makes payment based on an operating system used by the transmitting end apparatus in order to determine establishing a limited or an unlimited connection between the transmitting end apparatus and the receiving end apparatus. Thus, the method assures that either the transmitting end application or the receiving end application is a paid version, a user complies with an application license agreement by using the exception list and the right of application developers is protected.

  • Publication number: 20140012999
    Abstract: A method of establishing a paid connection using a screen mirroring application between multi-platforms is disclosed. A transmitting end application is installed in a transmitting end apparatus of a sharing source. A receiving end application is installed in a receiving end apparatus of a sharing target. If the transmitting end application is a paid version, an unlimited connection is established for performing screen mirroring between the transmitting end apparatus and any receiving end apparatus. If the transmitting end application is a free version, the method further confirms if the receiving end application is a paid version for deciding whether a limited connection or an unlimited connection should be established. Thus, it is assured that either the transmitting end application or the receiving end application is a paid version, the interests of application developers are protected and users are free from paying twice for establishing one connection.

  • Publication number: 20130311564
    Abstract: A sender device of sharing screenshots comprises a detection module, a control module and a wireless network interface. The detection module detects in the background whether a user is executing a screenshot activity and outputs a corresponding trigger signal. The control module electrically connects with the detection module and retrieves a latest-taken screenshot according to the trigger signal output by the detection module. The wireless network interface electrically connects the control module for establishing a wireless network link with a receiver device and transmitting the screenshot to the receiver device. The abovementioned sender device is able to simplify the operation to share screenshots.

  • Publication number: 20130294498
    Abstract: A video encoding system applied in a remote desktop system includes a capturing module, an encoding module and an estimating module. The capturing module is configured for capturing a plurality of screen frames of an electronic device at a capture rate. The encoding module is configured for encoding the screen frames captured by the capturing module at an encoding rate. The estimating module is configured for determining whether the current screen frame changes or not and then adjusting the encoding rate of the encoding module according to the estimating result. In this case, the encoding rate is equal to or less than the capture rate. The video encoding system can reduce system resource usage and energy consumption when the screen frame does not change. A video encoding method and a computer readable medium storing the method are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8521900
    Abstract: A remote audio-video sharing method and an application program for the same are provided. The method comprises a content provider device capturing screen frames and sounds of the content provider device. First encoding and second encoding are executed on the captured screen frames and sound to transmit to and play on a content displayer device and a content controller device. The content displayer device receives, decodes the data and smoothly plays the received data. The content controller device receives, decodes the data and plays the received data in synch with the content provider device. Additionally, a control command is generated by the content controller device to reply to the content provider device to manipulate operations of the content provider device.

  • Patent number: 8477842
    Abstract: An encoding method of screen frame and its application of electronic devices, which rapidly detect motion regions and motionless regions from lossless screen frames captured by software, and then encode the motion regions with lower image quality while encode motionless regions with higher quality to display higher quality images and smooth video at a receiving end in real-time. Furthermore, the above-mentioned encoding method is optimized for lossless screen frames which does not need complicated operations of video encoder of prior art, such as motion estimation, motion compensation, etc., so that the method can be implemented with minor system resources and lower latency delay.
