Microsoft's new patent shows that the link interaction between Surface tablets may be realized.

Recently, Microsoft applied for a new patent This new patent shows that Microsoft is developing the link and interaction function between multiple Surface tablets, which can be linked together through a dual connector keyboard connector for more data transmission or functional operation, and it is likely to be applied to SurfacePro5 as soon as possible.

Microsoft patent description:

Although many users have been exposed to a large number of computing devices, they still use traditional interactive methods to operate in these individual computing devices. Therefore, this technology itself supports physical and communication connections between computer devices. For example, mobile computer devices, including tablet computers and smart phones, can be used as plane factors, and connected devices can be used as physical and AC coupling factors between these devices, so that devices can be used together, such as expanding display area, sharing processor and memory resources, and so on.

Microsoft said that the communication between two tablets can be through wireless or physical linker, and the tablets can be automatically configured and adjusted to achieve the best state of sharing resources. In addition to connecting two Surface tablets, Microsoft can also use this technology to connect other devices.

Microsoft hopes to bring more practical value to the Surface tablet, and a Surface keyboard linker connected on both sides is the main driving factor of this project.
