Online Collaboration Recording System for Contribution Attribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital collaboration recording systems fail to accurately attribute individual contributions in group projects, especially with diverse content formats, leading to complexity in recording and synchronization.
Innovation Solution
An online collaboration recording system that synchronizes digital projects across multiple devices by establishing a collaboration session, receiving user inputs to modify objects, recording these modifications temporally, and synchronizing the records, allowing for flexible editing and replay of the recording sequence.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If video or screen recording methods are used to record digital collaboration sessions, then the recording process is simple, but it becomes impossible to determine which individual contributes what content in group projects
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the recording into individual user contribution layers, where each user's actions, comments, and modifications are captured separately. This allows the recording to be divided into distinct segments attributed to specific users, enabling clear identification of individual contributions while maintaining the overall collaboration context.
Solution Approach 2:
The system adds a user attribution dimension to the recording by capturing metadata about which user performed which action. This transforms the recording from a single flat video stream into a multi-dimensional structure where each action can be traced back to its source user, enabling contribution analysis without complicating the recording process.
2Ease of manufacture
If traditional video recording is used for digital collaboration, then the implementation is straightforward, but the complexity increases with unlimited digital supply of content in various formats
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a universal recording framework that can handle multiple content formats (images, videos, PDFs, GIFs, and other formats) through a single unified interface. The recording mechanism captures metadata about each content type and its source, allowing diverse formats to be processed and attributed consistently without requiring separate handling for each format type.
3Speed
If synchronous recording is used for online chat collaboration, then real-time interaction is captured, but data shared in real-time is lost if not saved before the end of session
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary capture of all collaboration data including real-time interactions, shared content, and user actions during the session. By continuously recording and storing this data in structured format during the session, the system ensures data is preserved and can be retrieved after the session ends, preventing data loss while maintaining real-time capture capabilities.

AI summary
Disclosed is an online collaboration recording system for recording an online collaboration session, comprising a computing arrangement in communication with a plurality of devices, wherein each device is accessible by a user during the online collaborating session, wherein in operation the computing arrangement executes instructions to synchronize a digital project in said online collaborating session amongst the plurality of devices, by: establishing, via communication module, said online collaboration session for performing collaborative work on the digital project, the digital project comprising at least one object; receiving, via the communication module or an input interface, a first user input and based thereon modifying one or more properties of the at least one object to form at least one modified object; recording temporally, via a recorder, the at least one modified object to compile a temporal record; and synchronizing, via the communication module, the temporal record amongst the plurality of devices.
