System and method for transfer of clipboard data between display screens
An information handling system includes a first display device having a touch-sensitive surface capable of detecting a stylus. The stylus may communicate with the first display device via the touch-sensitive surface. A processor copies content from the touch-sensitive surface to a first memory of the first display device, and stores an identifier key and a public key that are both associated with the first display device to a second memory. The processor may also establish a secure communication link between the first display device and a second display device using the identifier key and the public key, and paste the content from the first memory to the second display device using the stylus.
1. A method comprising:
copying, by a hardware processor, content from a first display device to a first memory of the first display device using a stylus;
storing an identifier key and a public key associated with the first display device to a second memory associated with the stylus;
establishing a secure communication link between the first display device and a second display device using the identifier key and the public key; and
pasting the content from the first memory of the first display device to the second display device with the stylus, wherein the content is transferred from the first display device via the secure communication link.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first memory is a clipboard.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifier key is used to identify the first display device.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifier key includes a device name of the first display device.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pasting of the content is performed at a user's desired location on the second display device.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising copying an internet protocol address to the second memory.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, prior to the establishing the secure communication link, using an advanced encryption standard protocol in transmitting the identifier key to the second display device.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the secure communication link is Bluetooth wireless communication channel.
9. The method of claim 1 , previewing the content when the stylus is hovering above the second display device.
10. The method of claim 1 , performing a commit when the stylus touches a display screen of the second display device.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the secure communication link allows the second display device to access the first memory of the first display device.
12. An information handling system, comprising:
a first display device having a touch-sensitive surface capable of detecting a stylus, wherein the first display device includes a first memory;
the stylus configured to communicate with the first display device via the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the stylus includes a second memory; and
a processor configured to:
copy content from the touch-sensitive surface to the first memory of the first display device;
store an identifier key and a public key that are both associated with the first display device to the second memory;
establish a secure communication link between the first display device and a second display device using the identifier key and the public key; and
paste the content from the first memory to the second display device using the stylus, wherein the content is transmitted via the secure communication link.
13. The information handling system of claim 12 , wherein the first memory is a clipboard.
14. The information handling system of claim 12 , wherein the identifier key is used to identify the first display device.
15. The information handling system of claim 12 , wherein the identifier key includes a device name of the first display device.
16. The information handling system of claim 12 , wherein the paste of the content is performed at a user's desired location on a touch screen of the second display device.
17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including code that when executed performs a method, the method comprising:
copying content from a touch screen of a first display device to a first memory of the first display device using a stylus;
storing an identifier key and a public key associated with the first display device to a second memory associated with the stylus;
establishing a secure communication link between the first display device and a second display device using the identifier key and the public key stored in the second memory; and
pasting the content from the first memory of the first display device to the second display device with the stylus, wherein the content is transmitted via the secure communication link.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , further comprising, prior to the establishing the secure communication link, using advanced encryption standard protocol in transmitting the identifier key to the second display device.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the secure communication link allows the second display device to access the first memory of the first display device.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , further comprising previewing the content when the stylus is hovering above a display screen of the second display device.
