Abstract

A portable electronic apparatus and a control method thereof are provided. The portable electronic apparatus comprises a display, a first system and a second system. The first system and the second system comprise a first processor and a second processor, respectively. The first processor executes a first operating system to generate a first operating system image, while the second processor executes a second operating system to display a second operating system image on the display. The first processor and the second processor respectively execute a first remote desktop program and a second remote desktop program to set up network communication protocol. When the display wants to display the first operating system image, the first operating system image is displayed on the display via the network communication protocol.

Claims

1. A portable electronic apparatus, comprising:

a display;

a first system, comprising;

a first storage unit used for storing a first operating system and a first remote desktop program;

a first processor used for executing the first operating system to generate a first operating system image;

a second system, comprising;

a second storage unit used for storing a second operating system and a second remote desktop program;

a second processor used for executing the second operating system to display a second operating system image on the display, the first processor and the second processor respectively execute a first remote desktop program and the second remote desktop program to set up a network communication protocol, and when the display wants to display the first operating system image, the first operating system image is displayed on the display via the network communication protocol.

2. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the network communication protocol is a remote desktop protocol (RDP).

3. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the network communication protocol is a remote frame buffer (RFB) protocol.

4. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein when the second operating system image is displayed on the display, the first system enters a power saving mode.

5. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein when the first operating system image is displayed on the display, the second system enters a power saving mode.

6. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the second operating system image comprises a shut down icon, and when the shut down icon is activated, the first operating system image is displayed on the display via the network communication protocol.

7. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the second operating system image comprises a plurality of application program icons, the application programs respectively correspond to a plurality of application programs of the first operating system, and when one of the application program icons is activated, the first operating system image is displayed on the display via the network communication protocol.

8. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first operating system image is a system desktop, and the second operating system image is a browser frame.

9. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein of the first processor and the second processor are both formed by an advanced RISC machine (ARM) architecture.

10. A control method of portable electronic apparatus, wherein the portable electronic apparatus comprises a display, a first system and a second system, the first system comprises a first storage unit and a first processor, the second system comprises a second storage unit and a second processor, the first storage unit stores a first operating system and a first remote desktop program, the second storage unit stores a second operating system and a second remote desktop program, and the control method comprising:

executing a first operating system by the first processor to generate a first operating system image and executing a second operating system by the second processor to display a second operating system image on the display; and

executing a first remote desktop program and the second remote desktop program by the first processor and the second processor respectively to set up a network communication protocol, wherein when the display wants to display the first operating system image, the first operating system image is displayed on the display via the network communication protocol.

11. The control method according to claim 10, wherein the network communication protocol is a remote desktop protocol (RDP).

12. The control method according to claim 10, wherein the network communication protocol is a virtual network computing (VNC) protocol.

13. The control method according to claim 10, wherein when the second operating system image is displayed on the display, the first system enters a power saving mode.

14. The control method according to claim 10, wherein when the first operating system image is displayed on the display, the second system enters a power saving mode.

15. The control method according to claim 10, wherein the second operating system image comprises a shut down icon, and when the shut down icon is activated, the first operating system image is displayed on the display via the network communication protocol.

16. The control method according to claim 10, wherein the second operating system image comprises a plurality of application program icons, the application programs respectively correspond to a plurality of application programs of the first operating system, and when one of the application program icon is activated, the first operating system image is displayed on the display via the network communication protocol.

17. The control method according to claim 10, wherein the first operating system image is a system desktop, and the second operating system image is a browser frame.
