Solution Overview

Problem

Current presentation and brainstorming applications are rigid and limit the fluidity of content presentation, making it difficult to seamlessly integrate discrete slides into a single canvas, which hampers the natural flow of discussions and presentations.

Innovation Solution

The integration of multiple discrete slides into a single canvas using a generative AI model that analyzes adjacent slide edges to create a unified background, allowing for a seamless and immersive presentation experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If multiple discrete slides are used for presentation, then content organization is structured and sequential, but the fluidity and flexibility of content display is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestructured content organizationVSAvoidfluidity of content display

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple discrete slides into a single unified canvas while preserving the individual slide contents. The AI model analyzes background data from multiple slides and generates a fused background that integrates elements from all slides, allowing content to be displayed together in a flexible, non-linear arrangement without losing the structured organization of individual slides.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Stability of the object's composition

If content is displayed on discrete slides following linear progression, then content structure is maintained, but ease of accessing non-sequential content during discussion is difficult

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent structureVSAvoidaccess to non-sequential content

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static, linear slide progression into a dynamic single canvas where content can be accessed in any order. The unified canvas allows users to freely navigate and access any content area regardless of its original sequential position, enabling flexible discussion flow while maintaining the structural integrity of individual content elements through the fused background design.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If discrete slides are integrated into a single canvas without AI processing, then content flexibility is improved, but visual coherence and seamless integration of backgrounds is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent flexibilityVSAvoidvisual coherence of background

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an AI model as an intermediary to process and fuse background data from multiple slides. The AI model analyzes the background elements from each slide and generates a cohesive fused background that maintains visual coherence and seamless integration, while still allowing the flexible single canvas layout to display all content in a non-linear arrangement.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A user device having a presentation application includes a processor; a memory storing the presentation application for implementation by the processor, alone or in combination with other processors. The application includes a user interface allowing a user to request integration of multiple slides into a single canvas with a common background generated by an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model based on backgrounds of the multiple slides being integrated into the single canvas.
