Abstract

A transmission device, a receiving device and a method of sharing data are provided. The transmission device includes a touch-display module which includes one or a plurality of display areas, wherein each of the display areas displays a respective display result corresponding to the same or different applications; a link module which is configured to establish a touch link with one or a plurality of receiving devices through the touch-display module; a judgment module which is configured to determine the display area which the receiving device is in physical proximity to, to generate the judgment information; a management module which is configured to generate application information according to the judgment information; and a sending module, configured to transmit the application information to the receiving device through the touch-display module.

Claims (43)

1. A transmission device, comprising:

a touch-display module, comprising one or a plurality of display areas, wherein each of the display areas displays a respective display result corresponding to the same or different applications;

a link module, configured to establish a touch link with one or a plurality of receiving devices through the touch-display module;

a judgment module, configured to determine the display area which the receiving device is in physical proximity to, to generate the judgment information;

a management module, configured to generate application information according to the judgment information; and

a sending module, configured to transmit the application information to the receiving device through the touch-display module.

2. The transmission device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a search module, configured to search for the application corresponding to the display area which the receiving device is in physical proximity to and transmit a search result to the judgment module, after the judgment module knows the display area which the receiving device is in physical proximity to.

3. The transmission device of claim 2 , wherein the judgment module transmits the judgment information to the management module according to the search result, after obtaining the search result.

4. The transmission device of claim 1 , wherein the judgment module also determines whether a size of an executed file of the application is larger than a default value.

5. The transmission device of claim 4 , wherein when the size of the executed file of the application is larger than the default value, the application information transmitted by the sending module only comprises names of the application and the executed file; and when the size of the executed file of the application is not larger than the default value, the application information transmitted by the sending module comprises names of the application and the executed file and data of the executed file.

6. The transmission device of claim 4 , further comprising:

a receiving module, configured to receive a request transmitted from the receiving device through the touch-display module, wherein the sending module transmits data corresponding to the request to the receiving device through the touch-display module.

7. The transmission device of claim 1 , wherein the link module establishes the touch link with the receiving devices by a touch link technology at the same time, or individually.

8. The transmission device of claim 1 , wherein a second touch-display module of the receiving device further comprises a plurality of second display areas and the second display areas are in physical proximity to the same or different display areas of the touch-display module at the same time, or individually.

9. The transmission device of claim 8 , wherein each second display area is preset to display the display result corresponding to a specific application of the applications.

10. The transmission device of claim 8 , wherein when one of the second display areas is in physical proximity to the display areas, the judgment module determines which display area the second display area is in physical proximity to according to a percentage of physical proximity areas.

11. The transmission device of claim 1 , wherein when the touch link is a failure, a reconnection mechanism is performed by the link module.

12. The transmission device of claim 1 , wherein when the sending module fails to transmit the application information, a transmission mechanism is performed by the link module.

13. A method of sharing data for a transmission device, comprising:

displaying a display result of an application executed on a display area of the transmission device or displaying display results of different applications executed on a plurality of display areas of the transmission device, wherein the display areas are comprised in a touch-display module;

establishing a touch link with one or a plurality of receiving devices through the touch-display module;

determining the display area which the receiving device is in physical proximity to, to generate the judgment information;

generating application information according to the judgment information; and

transmitting the application information to the receiving device through the touch-display module.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

searching for the application corresponding to the display area which the receiving device is in physical proximity to for generating a search result, after determining that the receiving device is in physical proximity to the display area; and

comprising the search result in the judgment information.

15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

determining whether a size of an executed file of the application is larger than a default value.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein when the size of the executed file of the application is larger than the default value, the application information only comprises names of the application and the executed file; and when the size of the executed file of the application is not larger than the default value, the application information comprises names of the application and the executed file and data of the executed file.

17. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving a request transmitted from the receiving device through the touch-display module and

transmitting the executed file to the receiving device according to the request.

18. The method of claim 13 , wherein the touch link with the receiving devices is established at the same time, or individually.

19. The method of claim 13 , wherein the receiving device comprises a second touch-display module, and the second touch-display module of the receiving device further comprises a plurality of second display areas and the second display areas are in physical proximity to the same or different display areas of the touch-display module at the same time, or individually.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein each second display area is preset to display the display result corresponding to one of the applications.

21. The method of claim 19 , further comprising:

determining which display area the second display area is in physical proximity to according to a percentage of physical proximity areas when one of the second display areas is in physical proximity to the display areas.

22. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

performing a reconnection mechanism when the touch link is a failure.

23. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

performing a transmission mechanism when the sending module fails to transmit the application information.
