Abstract

A remote play system includes: at least a remote device and a master device wireless coupled to the remote device. The master device includes a touch screen. A browser panel on the touch screen of the master device displays a remote device display region displaying at least a remote device icon which represents the remote device. The browser panel on the touch screen of the master device further displays a file display region displaying at least a file icon which represents a to-be-shared file. In response to a drag-and-drop event triggered on the touch screen, the file icon is dragged and dropped to the remote device icon, and the master device shares the file to the remote device.

Claims

1. A remote play system, comprising:

at least a remote device; and

a master device wirelessly coupled to the remote device, the master device comprising a touch screen, wherein at least a remote device icon representing the remote device is displayed on a remote device display region of a browser panel of the touch screen, and at least a file icon representing a to-be-shared file is displayed on a file display region of the browser panel of the touch screen;

wherein,

in response to a drag-and-drop event triggered on the touch screen, the file icon is dragged and dropped to the remote device icon, and the master device shares the file to the remote device.

2. The remote play system according to claim 1, wherein,

a plurality of file icons representing a plurality of to-be-shared files are displayed on the file display region of the touch screen;

and

the master device shares the files to the remote device in response to that the file icons are dragged and dropped to the remote device icon.

3. The remote play system according to claim 1, wherein,

a plurality of remote device icons representing a plurality of remote devices are displayed on the remote device display region of the touch screen;

and

the master device share the file to the remote devices in response to that the file icon is dragged and dropped to the remote device icons.

4. The remote play system according to claim 1, wherein,

a plurality of file icons representing a plurality of to-be-shared files are displayed on the file display region of the touch screen;

a plurality of remote device icons representing a plurality of remote devices are displayed on the remote device display region of the touch screen; and

the master device shares the files to the remote devices in response to that the file icons are dragged and dropped to the remote device icons.

5. The remote play system according to claim 1, wherein,

at least an indicator icon is displayed on an indicating region of the browser panel of the touch screen, and one of the indicator icons represents the browser panel;

and

an exit icon is displayed on an exit region of the browser panel of the touch screen, and in response to that the exit icon is touched, the browser panel is exited.

6. The remote play system according to claim 1, wherein,

when the master device shares the file to the remote device, the remote device display icon corresponding to the remote device displays a file play progress of the remote device.

7. The remote play system according to claim 1, wherein,

the remote device display icon selectively comprises a mode display icon;

the mode display icon displays an accept mode of the remote device; and

the accept mode of the remote device comprises at least four modes;

a prompt mode, an accept once mode, an accept all mode and a block mode.

8. The remote play system according to claim 1, wherein,

a control panel is displayed on the touch screen of the master device during file sharing, and one of the browser panel and the control panel is displayed on the touch screen but the other one is not displayed;

the control panel comprises the remote device display region of the browser panel, the file display region of the browser panel, a playlist region, a play region, an exit icon and an indicating region;

the shared file is displayed on the playlist region;
