Patent ID: 8190998

Claim:
A method for generating an object processing platform between an object computer and a processing computer, wherein the object computer is configured to generate a local object computer graphical user interface (GUI) displayed by the object computer, wherein the processing computer is configured to generate a local processing computer GUI displayed by the processing computer, and wherein an ad hoc screen assembly is performed by the object computer with the processing computer to couple a respective input and/or output device, the method comprising: the object computer initiating a generation of an assembled display combining (a) an object computer portion displayed on at least a portion of a display belonging to the object computer and (b) a processing computer portion displayed on at least a portion of a display belonging to the processing computer, the assembled display having a display interface defined by a boundary of the object computer portion and a boundary of the processing computer portion, the interface of the assembled display allowing a displayed object to be dragged by a user across the display interface from the object computer portion to the processing computer portion, wherein the displayed object dragged across the display interface crosses the boundary of the object computer portion such that it is no longer displayed on the object computer portion and crosses the boundary of the processing computer portion such that it appears on the processing computer portion, in response to a user dragging the displayed object across the display interface of the assembled display from the object computer portion to the processing computer portion, and further dragging the displayed object to an interaction area of the processing computer portion, automatically causing the display belonging to the processing computer to switch from displaying the processing computer portion of the assembled display to displaying the local processing computer GUI and automatically generating an object processing platform, and activating a local file processing function by means of a local coupling of the object to the interaction area.
