Abstract

A system for achieving display of CarPlay operation interface on display screens of multiple electronic devices is disclosed. The system comprises a first electronic device and a second electronic device, wherein the first electronic device has functionality of Apple CarPlay because of including an Apple Mfi authentication chip. Particularly, a CarPlay executor comprising a principal execution unit and a plurality of sub-execution units is provided in the first electronic device. As such, after a second mobile electronic device is in communication with a second electronic device that is coupled to the first electronic device, one sub-execution unit is authorized by the Apple Mfi authentication chip so as to let a CarPlay operation interface be shown on a display screen of the second electronic device, thereby achieving display of CarPlay operation interface on display screens of multiple electronic devices.

Dependent claims

A system for achieving display of CarPlay operation interface on display screens of multiple electronic devices, comprising:

a first electronic device, having a first display unit, a CarPlay executor and an Apple Mfi authentication chip, wherein the CarPlay executor is implemented in the first electronic device by a form of application program that comprises a principal execution function module and a plurality of sub-execution function module;
at least one second electronic device, having a second display unit;
and
an authentication data transmission interface connected between the first electronic device and the second electronic device;
wherein the first electronic device is configured to:
execute the principal execution function module, in case of a first mobile electronic device with an iOS operating system being in communication with the first electronic device via a first communication channel, so as to conduct an Apple Mfi authentication of the first mobile electronic device by the Apple Mfi authentication chip;
continuously execute the principal execution function module, in case of the first mobile electronic device passing the Apple Mf authentication, thereby showing a first CarPlay operation interface by the first display unit;
execute one of the sub-execution function modules, in case of second mobile electronic device also installed with the iOS operating system being in communication with the second electronic device via a second communication channel, so as to conduct an authentication data transmission between the second mobile electronic device and the first electronic device through the authentication data transmission interface, thereby conducting the Apple Mfi authentication of the second mobile electronic device by the Apple Mfi authentication chip;
continuously execute the sub-execution function module, in case of the second mobile electronic device passing the Apple Mfi authentication, thereby controlling the second display unit of the second electronic device to show a second CarPlay operation interface.
