Multi-screen interaction 

How to transfer the content on the mobile phone to the PC quickly and efficiently has always been a headache, whether it is Wechat, data line, cloud disk and other methods, there will be certain restrictions. Until Huawei first launched Huawei touch technology, it opened up new ideas for the transmission between mobile phones and PC.

HUAWEI MateBook D 14-inch (AMD) laptop

Nothing can be developed overnight. In November 2018, Huawei launched the touch-by-touch technology, which solved the problem of cross-system transmission of Android and Windows through deep customization and overall optimization of mobile phones and PCs, making the data transmission between mobile phones and PC more simple and convenient.

On this basis, Huawei through continuous exploration and innovation, from the bottom of the system to break through the gap between Windows and Android, the integration of “multi-screen collaboration” technology. Since then, the computing power and professional system capabilities of Huawei MateBook D 14 Ryzen version can be used to deal with problems that cannot be handled by mobile phones, and its keyboard and mouse have also become peripherals of mobile phones, bringing unprecedented innovative office experience.

In practical use, the author is still used to using touch to connect.

What can you do if you put the mobile phone screen on the computer screen? the most intuitive change is that after connecting, you can easily move pictures, audio, video, documents and other contents directly to the computer with a simple drag-and-drop. The file size is unlimited, and you can drag and drop multiple files at a time, greatly improving the efficiency of file transfer.

Many times, whenever I am inspired, I will use my mobile phone to record it, but every time I use my computer, I need to pick up my phone and check my thoughts at that time. Now that I have multi-screen collaboration, I just need to focus on one screen. And between the two can also achieve text sharing, support clipboard sharing function, can copy (or drag and drop) paste text across devices, to achieve cross-system, cross-device replication.

In addition, with the vigorous development of the mobile Internet, there are some applications that belong to the mobile phone. Douyin and pinduoduo, which can be easily used on mobile phones, have no corresponding entrance on the computer side. Now with multi-screen collaboration and the introduction of rich Android ecology, the two systems can cooperate with each other while running independently, truly realizing cross-platform and cross-system efficient operation.
