Card-Shaped Object Presentation Tool for Flexible Slide Layout
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing presentation slide creation tools require users to recreate slides when changing content, which is inconvenient and interrupts the thought process, especially when trying to make a slide more panoramic or broader in content.
Innovation Solution
A presentation material creation apparatus and method that allows users to create card-shaped objects via a GUI, enabling object placement, ordering, and superimposition, allowing objects to be used independently or as part of others, with features like enlargement, reduction, and area adjustment, facilitating flexible slide creation without interrupting the user's thought process.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a user creates a new slide from scratch to change content to be more panoramic and broader, then the content completeness is improved, but the time consumption and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The presentation material is segmented into independent card-shaped objects that can be created once and reused multiple times. Each card represents a discrete content unit that can be independently manipulated, allowing users to build comprehensive presentations by combining existing cards rather than creating everything from scratch.
Solution Approach 2:
Card-shaped objects can be nested within other cards through superimposition, where one card is placed inside another to create hierarchical content structures. This allows users to organize content at multiple levels of detail without creating separate slides for each level, saving time while maintaining content completeness.
2Quantity of substance
If a user creates a new slide from scratch to change content, then the content completeness is improved, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Card-shaped objects are designed to be universal building blocks that can serve multiple functions: they can be used independently as complete slides, nested within other cards for hierarchical organization, or combined through superimposition to create composite content. This multi-functionality reduces operation complexity by providing a single reusable object type for diverse presentation needs.
Solution Approach 2:
Cards are created as pre-fabricated content units that can be stored and reused across multiple presentations. By performing the content creation action in advance and storing it as a reusable card, users avoid repeating complex creation operations, thereby reducing operational complexity while maintaining content completeness.
3Ease of operation
If objects are allowed to be superimposed and reused, then the convenience of object reuse is improved, but the layout control difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The card-shaped objects include dynamic scaling capabilities that allow them to be enlarged or reduced according to user operations. This dynamic size adjustment enables users to control the layout of superimposed cards effectively, maintaining layout control difficulty at an acceptable level while enjoying the convenience of object reuse and superimposition.

AI summary
To improve convenience when creating slides for a presentation. A presentation material creation apparatus includes a material creation unit that creates a card-shaped object in which characters or a figure can be placed on the basis of an operation of a user through a GUI (graphical user interface) and places the object on a field, and also sets an order for the multiple objects, and a material playback unit that outputs a presentation material outputting the objects in the set order. When one object is superimposed on another object by an operation of the user, the material creation unit creates an object in which the one object is placed inside the other object.
