Multi-Display System And Method Of Automatically Setting Display Mode
First Claim
1. A multi-display system comprising:
- one main display;
at least one second display;
a host connected to said at least one second display for controlling and recording the display mode and display content of at least one second display connected thereto currently in real time; and
at last one display detection unit for detecting the connection status between the host and said at least one second display and transferring a detection signal to said host in real time;
wherein said host stops recording the display mode and display content of at least one second display connected thereto currently, saves the currently recorded content, modifies the display mode and transfers the content displayed by said at least one second display to said main display when the detection signal from said at least one display detection unit indicates said at least one second display has been disconnected from said host; and
said host automatically sets the content displayed by said at least one second display based on the recorded display mode and display content of at least one second display when the detection signal indicates that said at least one second display has been connected to said host.

Abstract
A multi-display system comprises a host, a main display, multiple second displays connectable to the host and multiple display detection units. The display detection units are adapted for detecting the statuses of the second displays and transferring detection signals to the host in real time. The host is adapted to record the display mode and display content of the currently connected second displays in real time, and conducts display control when receiving the detection signals from the display detection units. The host stops recording, saves the display content, modifies the display mode and transfers the content displayed by the second displays to the main display when the detection signals from the display detection units indicate the second displays have been disconnected from the host. Further, the host recovers the saved display mode and automatically sets the content displayed by the second displays based on the records of the second displays when the detection signal indicates that the second displays have been connected to the host. The present invention also discloses a method for automatically setting display mode in the multi-display system.

6. A method for automatically setting display mode in a multi-display system comprising one main display and at least one second display, said method comprising the steps of:
-
1) recording the display mode and display content of said at least one second display in real time; 2) detecting the connection status between said host and said at least one second display and generating a detection signal indicating the connection status when a change occurs in the connection status between said host and said at least one second display; 3) stopping recording the display mode and display content of said at least one second display connected thereto currently, saving the currently recorded content, modifying the display mode and transferring the content displayed by said at least one second display to the main display when the detection signal indicates said at least one second display has been disconnected from said host; 4) automatically setting the display content of said at least one second display based on the recorded display mode and display content of said at least one second display when the detection signal indicates that said at least one second display has been connected to said host. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16)
