A plurality of mobile units are electrically connected to the connection control module via a wireless transmission interface, so the control processing unit of the connection control module controls the display unit to display the corresponding frame objects according to a connection of the mobile units. The control processing unit controls the display unit to display an interaction of the frame objects via input signals transmitted by the mobile units. Such invention allows multiple users to control the frame objects displayed by the display unit in the corresponding frame of a single display application program at the same time. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A display control device for multi-user connection comprising: a connection control module having a control processing unit; said control processing unit executing a display application program for generating a display signal; said connection control module being connected to a plurality of mobile units via a wireless transmission interface; and a display unit electrically connected to said connection control module and displayed a frame image in accordance with said display signal; said control processing unit controlling said display unit to display a plurality of corresponding frame objects in said image according to a connecting status of said mobile units; wherein, said mobile units generate and transmit a plurality of input signals to said connection control module via said wireless transmission interface; said control processing unit generating a plurality of display control signals to said display unit in accordance with said input signals; said display unit displaying an interaction of said frame objects according to said display control signals. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The display control device for multi-user connection as claimed in claim 1, wherein said connection control module is built in said display unit; said control processing unit identifies said connecting status of said mobile units in accordance with a plurality of addresses of said mobile units. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The display control device for multi-user connection as claimed in claim 1, wherein said frame objects are a plurality of menus, a plurality of characters, or a plurality of cursor objects; said interaction of said frame objects includes switch motions or movements of said frame objects. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The display control device for multi-user connection as claimed in claim 1, wherein a plurality of sensors are disposed on said mobile units for sensing gestures of users of said mobile units so as to correspondingly generate and transmit said input signals to said connection control module. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The display control device for multi-user connection as claimed in claim 1, wherein said mobile units include a plurality of frames; said frames display a plurality of control interfaces; said control interfaces are a plurality of key modules or touch gestures. ### Claim 6 A display control method for multi-user connection comprising steps of: connecting a plurality of mobile units to a connection control module via a wireless transmission interface; said connection control module having a control processing unit for processing a plurality of input signals of said mobile units; executing a display application program by said control processing unit for controlling a display unit to display a frame image; displaying a plurality of corresponding frame objects in said frame image according to a connecting status of said mobile units; and controlling said display unit for displaying an interaction of said frame objects according to said input signals. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The display control method for multi-user connection as claimed in claim 6, wherein said connection control module is built in said display unit; said control processing unit identifies said connecting status of said mobile units according to a plurality of addresses of said mobile units. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The display control method for multi-user connection as claimed in claim 6, wherein said frame objects are a plurality of menus, a plurality of characters, or a plurality of cursor objects; said interaction of said frame objects includes switch motions or movements of said frame objects. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The display control method for multi-user connection as claimed in claim 6, wherein in said step of inputting said input signals to said connection control module, said mobile units applies at least one sensor respectively to sense gestures of users of said mobile units in order to correspondingly generate and transmit said input signals to said connection control module. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The display control method for multi-user connection as claimed in claim 6, wherein said mobile units have a plurality of frames; said frames display a plurality of control interfaces; said control interfaces are a plurality of key modules or touch gestures.
