Abstract

A display control system is provided. The display control system includes a first wireless apparatus and a second wireless apparatus. The first wireless apparatus processes a search function to obtain the character of the second wireless apparatus, and confirms whether the second wireless apparatus can connect to the first wireless apparatus according to the second apparatus character. When the second wireless apparatus is able to connect, the first wireless apparatus wirelessly connects to the second wireless apparatus, and outputs a first display signal to the second wireless apparatus. Then, the second wireless apparatus shows the first display signal on a display module for users to view the display contents of the first wireless apparatus on the display module of the second wireless apparatus.

Claims

1. A display control method, applied to a display control between a first wireless electronic apparatus and a second wireless electronic apparatus, and the method comprising the steps of:

executing a search function by the first wireless electronic apparatus to obtain a second apparatus character returned from the second wireless electronic apparatus via a wireless transmission;

determining the second apparatus character by the first wireless electronic apparatus to confirm whether or not the second wireless electronic apparatus is a connectable apparatus;

connecting the first wireless electronic apparatus with the second wireless electronic apparatus, if the second wireless electronic apparatus is a connectable apparatus;

outputting a first display signal by the first wireless electronic apparatus to the second wireless electronic apparatus via a wireless transmission; and

a second display module of the second wireless electronic apparatus outputting and displaying a screen of the first display signal.

2. The display control method of claim 1, wherein the second apparatus character provides a hardware specification of a second input interface of the second wireless electronic apparatus.

3. The display control method of claim 2, wherein the first wireless electronic apparatus will confirm that the second wireless electronic apparatus is connectable if the first control conversion table contains the correspondence relationship of the first and the second input interfaces according to the second apparatus identification message.

4. The display control method of claim 3, wherein the second apparatus character further provides a display resolution and a display size of the second display module.

5. The display control method of claim 4, wherein the first display signal outputted by the first wireless electronic apparatus is a screen contents displayed by a first display module of the first wireless electronic apparatus.

6. The display control method of claim 5, wherein the first display signal undergoes image processing by the first wireless electronic apparatus before the first display signal is outputted to the second wireless electronic apparatus via a wireless transmission, such that the display content of the first display signal can conform to the display resolution and the display size of the second display module.

7. The display control method of claim 6, wherein the image processing is a zoom-in processing or a zoom-out processing.

8. The display control method of claim 4, wherein the first display signal outputted by the first wireless electronic apparatus is a predetermined display screen outputted by the first wireless electronic apparatus.

9. The display control method of claim 8, wherein the first display signal undergoes image processing by the first wireless electronic apparatus before the first display signal is outputted to the second wireless electronic apparatus via a wireless transmission, such that the display content of the first display signal can conform to the display resolution and the display size of the second display module

10. The display control method of claim 9, wherein the image processing is a zoom-in processing or a zoom-out processing.

11. The display control method of claim 1, further comprising the step of:

displaying the first wireless electronic apparatus to determine the second apparatus character to confirm a result whether or not the second wireless electronic apparatus is a connectable apparatus.

12. The display control method of claim 1, further comprising the step of:

adding the second wireless electronic apparatus into a first connection list of the first wireless electronic apparatus, if the second wireless electronic apparatus is a connectable apparatus.

13. The display control method of claim 1, further comprising the step of:

the first wireless electronic apparatus displaying a hint message of displaying a screen of the first wireless electronic apparatus by the second wireless electronic apparatus, if the first wireless electronic apparatus and the second wireless electronic apparatus are connected.

14. The display control method of claim 1, further comprising the step of:

the second wireless electronic apparatus displaying a hint message that is displayable on a screen of the first wireless electronic apparatus, if the first wireless electronic apparatus and the second wireless electronic apparatus are connected.

15. The display control method of claim 1, wherein before the first wireless electronic apparatus executes the search function, the method further comprising the step of:

the first wireless electronic apparatus and the second wireless electronic apparatus enabling a remote control function separately.

16. A display control system, comprising:

a first wireless electronic apparatus; and

a second wireless electronic apparatus, including a second display module and a second apparatus character;

wherein the first wireless electronic apparatus is provided for searching the second wireless electronic apparatus via a wireless transmission to obtain the second apparatus character of the second wireless electronic apparatus, and determine the second apparatus character to confirm whether or not the second wireless electronic apparatus is a connectable apparatus;

and if the second wireless electronic apparatus is a connectable apparatus, the first wireless electronic apparatus and the second wireless electronic apparatus are connected, and the first wireless electronic apparatus outputs a first display signal to the second wireless electronic apparatus via a wireless transmission, such that the second wireless electronic apparatus can output and display the first display signal through the second display module.

17. The display control system of claim 16, wherein the second apparatus character provides a hardware specification of a second input interface of the second wireless electronic apparatus.

18. The display control system of claim 17, wherein the first wireless electronic apparatus will confirm that the second wireless electronic apparatus is connectable if the first control conversion table contains the correspondence relationship of the first and the second input interfaces according to the second apparatus identification message.

19. The display control system of claim 17, wherein the second apparatus character further provides a display resolution and a display size of the second display module.

20. The display control system of claim 19 wherein the first display signal outputted by the first wireless electronic apparatus is a screen displayed by a first display module of the first wireless electronic apparatus.

21. The display control system of claim 20, wherein the first display signal undergoes image processing of the first wireless electronic apparatus before the first display signal is outputted to the second wireless electronic apparatus via a wireless transmission, such that the display content of the first display signal can conform to the display resolution and the display size of the second display module.

22. The display control system of claim 21, wherein the image processing is a zoom-in processing or a zoom-out processing.

23. The display control system of claim 19, wherein the first display signal outputted by the first wireless electronic apparatus is a predetermined display screen of the first wireless electronic apparatus.

24. The display control system of claim 23, wherein the first display signal undergoes image processing by the first wireless electronic apparatus before the first display signal is outputted to the second wireless electronic apparatus via a wireless transmission, such that the display content of the first display signal can conform to the display resolution and the display size of the second display module.
