Abstract

Content sharing methods and apparatuses are provided that relate to the field of communications. A method comprises: determining a projection region of a second display region of a second display device on a first display region of a first display device; acquiring related information of the second display region; and displaying corresponding content in the projection region according to the related information of the second display region. The methods and apparatuses can simplify content sharing steps, improve content sharing efficiency and/or enhance user experience.

1. A method, comprising:

determining, by a system comprising a processor, a projection region of a second display region of a second display device on a first display region of a first display device;

acquiring related information of the second display region; and

displaying corresponding content in the projection region according to the related information of the second display region.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining the projection region comprises:

determining a position of the second display region; and

determining the projection region of the second display region on the first display region according to the position.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

displaying prompt information of the projection region on the first display region.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first display region is a virtual display region.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the first display region is a virtual display region relative to at least one eye of a user.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the projection region is an orthographic projection region.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the projection region is a central projection region.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the related information of the second display region comprises:

display content of the second display region.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the related information of the second display region comprises:

display content of the second display region, and associated information of the display content.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the related information of the second display region comprises:

coordinate information of display content of the second display region.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein an area of the first display region is greater than another area of the second display region.

12. A method, comprising:

determining, by a system comprising a processor, position information of a projection region of a second display region of a second display device on a first display region of a first display device; and

sending the position information and related information of the second display region to the first display device.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the determining the position information comprises:

determining a position of the first display region; and

determining the position information of the projection region of the second display region on the first display region according to the position.

14. The method of claim 12, the first display region is a virtual display region.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the first display region is a virtual display region relative to an eye of a user.

16. The method of claim 12, wherein the display region is an orthographic projection region.

17. The method of claim 12, wherein the display region is a central projection region.

18. The method of claim 12, wherein the related information of the second display region comprises:

display content of the second display region.
