Communication Management System for Synchronized Stroke Data Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems for video conferences between electronic whiteboards lack efficient management of data sharing, particularly in transmitting and receiving image and stroke data across multiple terminals, leading to potential delays and inconsistencies in the conferencing experience.
Innovation Solution
A communication management system that manages data sharing between multiple communication terminals by transmitting storage location information, receiving notices for image data uploads, and exchanging stroke data, utilizing a relay device and image storage device to facilitate seamless video and audio communication, enabling high-quality video conferencing across different sites.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If image data is transmitted directly between communication terminals, then data sharing is achieved, but transmission delays and inconsistencies occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a communication management system as an intermediary between communication terminals. This mediator receives image data from one terminal, manages the data transmission, and distributes it to other terminals, thereby reducing transmission delays and ensuring data consistency across all participants in the video conference.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication terminals share data simultaneously, then collaboration is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication management system is designed with multi-functional capabilities to handle various data sharing operations. It can receive image data, generate thumbnail images, manage data distribution, and coordinate multiple communication terminals simultaneously, thereby enhancing data sharing capability while maintaining manageable system complexity through unified control.
3Manufacturing precision
If high-resolution image data is transmitted, then image quality is improved, but bandwidth consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments image data into different resolution levels. The communication management system receives high-resolution image data, generates lower-resolution thumbnail images, and transmits both types to different communication terminals based on their specific needs. This segmentation allows high-quality images when needed while reducing overall bandwidth consumption through efficient use of thumbnail previews.
