  • Publication number: 20140253510
    Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic device including a display, an input detection module and a processor. The input detection module detects an operation on the display executed by an indication electronic device, and generates a first operation signal corresponding to location information of the operation. The processor receives an enable signal from the indication electronic device, and then determines that the electronic device and the indication electronic device are in a first communication mode or a second communication mode. In the first communication mode, the processor obtains a first file corresponding to the location information and stores the first file to the indication electronic device by the communication module. In the second communication mode, the processor obtains a second file from the indication electronic device by the communication module and displays it on the position corresponding to the location information of the display.
