Problem

In electronic conferences, maintaining a stable display of conference screens is challenging when users are in moving objects due to fluctuating communication states and high equipment loads, leading to delayed or inappropriate screen changes.

Innovation Solution

An electronic conference system that adjusts display objects based on processor load and communication state analysis, using data from images and voice to determine appropriate data usage and processing modes, ensuring optimal screen display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If object change processing is executed to analyze user state using image and voice data, then the conference screen display becomes more appropriate and responsive to user needs, but the processor load increases and may cause delays or failures in display updates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay appropriatenessVSAvoiddisplay stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically changes processing parameters by adjusting the type and amount of data analyzed based on processor load conditions. When load is low, full image and voice analysis is performed; when load is high, the system switches to lighter processing modes or skips analysis, thereby adapting the processing intensity to available resources while maintaining display appropriateness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs partial object change processing by selectively analyzing only certain data types or using simplified analysis methods when processor load is high. This partial action approach ensures that some display updates occur even under load constraints, maintaining basic functionality while avoiding complete system failure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Measurement precision

If object change processing uses both image data and voice data for comprehensive user state analysis, then the accuracy of display object selection improves, but the data processing load and communication bandwidth requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser state analysis accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the analysis methodology based on processor load conditions. When load is low, both image and voice data are comprehensively analyzed for high accuracy. When load is high, the system switches to simpler analysis methods or uses only one data type, thereby adapting the processing complexity to available resources while maintaining reasonable accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If the terminal device performs comprehensive processing including object change processing, then the conference functionality becomes more intelligent and adaptive, but the processor load increases making the device unsuitable for use in moving objects with limited resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconference adaptabilityVSAvoidprocessor load
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes processing parameters dynamically based on load conditions, adjusting the intensity and scope of object change processing. This allows the device to provide intelligent conference functionality when resources are available while conserving energy when processor load is high, making it suitable for mobile environments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system periodically evaluates processor load and adjusts processing accordingly, alternating between comprehensive analysis modes and reduced processing modes. This periodic adaptation allows the system to maintain intelligence when possible while managing energy consumption to remain suitable for mobile use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

4Reliability

If the system executes object change processing without considering communication state, then the display can be updated with the most current user state information, but communication failures may occur when network conditions are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidscreen update delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs partial object change processing by sending only essential or summarized user state information when communication state is poor, rather than transmitting complete analysis results. This partial transmission approach reduces communication failures and data loss while still providing timely display updates with the most critical information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
