Online Conference Image Sharing Restriction System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In online conferences, images intended for sharing may be inadvertently or erroneously shared due to participant errors or lack of attention, leading to inappropriate content distribution among participants.
Innovation Solution
An online conference apparatus and method that utilize a memory to store management information for image sharing restrictions and a processor to apply sharing restrictions to designated images based on this information, ensuring that inappropriate images are not distributed by applying masks or prohibiting sharing entirely or partially.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If image sharing is allowed freely in online conferences, then ease of operation is improved, but security and control deteriorate due to erroneous or intentional sharing of inappropriate content
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary classification of images into shareable and non-shareable categories before the sharing action occurs. Management information is registered in advance that specifies which images can be shared, so when a user attempts to share an image, the system has already determined its sharing status, preventing inappropriate content distribution while maintaining ease of operation for legitimate sharing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback by checking the management information database when an image sharing request is made. If the image is classified as non-shareable, the system feeds back a restriction signal to block the sharing action. This automatic feedback mechanism prevents inappropriate content distribution while allowing legitimate sharing to proceed smoothly.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If sharing restrictions are applied to all images, then security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to unnecessary limitations on shareable content
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies sharing restrictions selectively based on the specific image being shared rather than applying a blanket restriction to all images. Management information is registered and enforced on a per-image basis, so only images classified as non-shareable are restricted. This local quality approach ensures that shareable content can be distributed freely while inappropriate content is blocked, maintaining both security and ease of operation.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If manual review of each image before sharing is implemented, then security is improved, but productivity deteriorates due to time-consuming verification processes
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic classification and restriction enforcement without requiring manual review by users. The processor automatically checks the management information database when an image sharing request is made and applies restrictions based on pre-registered classification data. This self-service automated approach eliminates time-consuming manual verification while maintaining security, thereby preserving productivity.

AI summary
An online conference apparatus includes: a memory that stores management information for managing availability of sharing for an image; and a processor configured to: process a designation image designated as a sharing target by a participant of an online conference; and apply a sharing restriction to the designation image based on the management information.
