Method for switching control commands across platforms and smart device

Abstract

A method for switching control commands across platforms and a smart device are provided. The smart device, such as a smart screen, connects with a data source by a communication circuitry, displays content received from the data source by a display screen, and includes an input circuitry that provides an input interface circuitry for allowing a control device to connect with the smart device. When an operating system of the smart device receives a command for launching a menu interface from the control device, the menu interface that provides an option of at least one data source is activated. When the data source is selected, the content received from the data source is displayed on the display screen. In the meantime, a signal channel is established between the smart device and the data source in order to forward commands generated by the control device to the data source.
