A multimedia interaction system includes: multiple electronic devices and a location detection circuit. The location detection circuit dynamically detects respective electronic device's spatial position and orientation. When an user instructs a source electronic device of the multiple electronic devices to transmit a target image object toward a selected direction, the source electronic device decides a target direction according to a location of a first candidate electronic device and the selected direction if a relative position between the first candidate electronic and the selected direction satisfies a first predetermined condition. The source electronic device transmits a target command corresponding to the target image object to a second candidate electronic device to perform corresponding multimedia interaction operations only if a relative position between the second candidate electronic and the target direction satisfies a second predetermined condition.

Multimedia interaction system and related computer program product capable of avoiding unexpected interaction behavior

A computer program product includes: a receiving module for utilizing a communication circuit to receive a photographing positions distribution information; an option object generating module for utilizing a control circuit to generate multiple option objects; an arranging module for utilizing the control circuit to generate a graphic user interface including the multiple option objects and one or more reference indicators according to the photographing positions distribution information; and a displaying control module for utilizing a display device to display the graphic user interface. When the display device displays the graphic user interface, if an input device receives a shift command inputted by a user, the display controlling module controls the display device to move at least a portion of the option objects on the graphic user interface toward a same side and to change position or content of at least one reference indicator.

A multimedia interaction system is disclosed, including: a plurality of member electronic devices; a plurality of displays respectively arranged on the member electronic devices; and a location detection circuit configured to operably detect respective member electronic device's spatial position and orientation dynamically and to transmit detection results to at least one of the member electronic devices. When an user instructs a source electronic device of the member electronic devices to transmit a target image object toward a target direct, a candidate electronic device of the member electronic devices would execute a target command corresponding to the target image object to utilize a corresponding display to perform a multimedia operation corresponding to the target image object only if a relative position between the candidate electronic and the target direct satisfies a predetermined condition.

Multimedia interaction system and related computer program product capable of filtering multimedia interaction commands

A multi-screen video playback system includes: a video playback device having a main display, a portable communication device having a screen, and a multi-screen display controlling server. The multi-screen display controlling server transmits a target video to the video playback device via a network so that the video playback device utilizes the main display to display the target video. While the main display displays the target video, if the multi-screen display controlling server received a selection message corresponding to a position of a partial region of the main display, the multi-screen display controlling server dynamically generates a scaled video corresponding to images displayed on the partial region and transmits the scaled video to the portable communication device via a network so that the portable communication device simultaneously displays the scaled video on the screen.
