Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multimedia conferences lack efficient methods for creating and sharing files in real-time, leading to prolonged interaction times and increased resource consumption.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for generating a display area for a newly created file during a multimedia conference, allowing participants to edit and share file content with editing authorization, thereby improving interaction efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If real-time file creation and sharing is implemented in multimedia conferences, then interaction efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the file management functionality into separate modules: file creation module, file sharing module, and display area management module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while enabling real-time file creation and sharing capabilities that improve interaction efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The multimedia conference system integrates multiple functions including file creation, file editing, real-time sharing, and display area management into a single platform. This multi-functional approach allows participants to perform various file operations without switching applications, improving interaction efficiency while the system manages complexity through unified architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Loss of time

If real-time file creation and sharing is implemented in multimedia conferences, then conference duration is reduced, but computing resources consumed increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconference durationVSAvoidcomputing resources consumed
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-allocates display areas for files during conference setup and pre-establishes file sharing channels. When files are created or shared during the conference, the display areas are already ready to receive content, eliminating the need for real-time resource allocation and reducing computing overhead while enabling rapid file sharing that shortens conference duration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of transferring entire files during sharing, the system creates and transmits display representations (copies) of file content to participants' devices. This allows real-time file sharing and collaboration without moving large amounts of data, reducing computing and network resource consumption while maintaining fast interaction speeds.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
