Gesture visualization and sharing between electronic devices and remote displays

摘要

The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates interaction between an electronic device and a remote display. The system includes a first application and an encoding apparatus on the electronic device, and a second application and a decoding apparatus on the remote display. The encoding apparatus obtains graphical output for a display of the electronic device and a first set of touch inputs associated with the graphical output from a first touch screen. Next, the encoding apparatus encodes the graphical output, and the first application transmits the graphical output and the first set of touch inputs to the remote display. Upon receiving the graphical output and the first set of touch inputs at the remote display, the decoding apparatus decodes the graphical output. The second application then uses the graphical output and a visual representation of the first set of touch inputs to drive the remote display.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for interacting with a remote display, comprising:
obtaining graphical output for a display of an electronic device; obtaining a first set of touch inputs associated with the graphical output from a touch screen associated with the electronic device; and transmitting the graphical output and the first set of touch inputs to the remote display, wherein the graphical output and a visual representation of the first set of touch inputs are used to drive the remote display, and wherein the visual representation of the first set of touch inputs comprises a set of dots and is not displayed on the display of the electronic device.
