Chronological Text Display Terminal for Event Documentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic whiteboards and related systems lack the ability to efficiently manage and display event data, such as sound-to-text conversions and editing capabilities, in a synchronized and user-friendly manner, particularly during events like meetings.
Innovation Solution
A display terminal connected to a management system that receives sound data, converts it to text, and displays the text data in chronological order, allowing for editing and real-time updates, integrated with a sharing system that includes electronic whiteboards, videoconference terminals, and servers for seamless event management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If text data is displayed in chronological order from sound data conversion, then event documentation effectiveness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a management server as an intermediary component that handles the complex tasks of receiving sound data, converting it to text data, managing time information, and coordinating with multiple display terminals. This intermediary absorbs the system complexity while enabling reliable chronological display of event documentation across the networked terminals.
2Ease of operation
If editing capability is added to displayed text data, then user experience is improved, but data accuracy may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where edited text data is transmitted back to the management server, which then redistributes the updated content to all connected display terminals. This feedback loop ensures that user edits are preserved and synchronized across the system, maintaining data accuracy while enabling easy editing operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and manages copies of text data across multiple display terminals connected to the management server. When editing occurs on one terminal, the updated copy is distributed to all other terminals, ensuring data consistency and accuracy is maintained across the network while allowing users to edit without worrying about local data integrity.
3Productivity
If real-time updates are implemented across terminals, then productivity is improved, but loss of time for synchronization increases
Solution Approach 1:
The management server continuously maintains connections with all display terminals and keeps the text data synchronization process active throughout the event duration. This continuous operation allows real-time updates to be pushed immediately when changes occur, minimizing synchronization delays and maintaining productive workflow across all terminals without repeated setup or manual refresh operations.
Data Source
AI summary
A display terminal is communicable with a management system that is configured to manage sound data based on content generated during a conducted event and manage text data converted from the sound data. The display terminal includes circuitry configured to: receive the sound data, the text data, and time information from the management system, the time information being information relating to generation time of the content; control a display to display the received text data in an order of the generation time based on the received time information; and accept editing of particular text data among the displayed text data. The circuitry is further configured to control the display to display the edited particular text data in place of the received particular text data.
