Content Sharing Window with Real-Time Interaction Selectors
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for sharing digital content between devices are either cumbersome, requiring static file transfers or screen sharing, which do not facilitate real-time interaction and collaboration.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for establishing a content sharing session using a content sharing program that generates a content sharing window with user-selectable interaction type selectors and contact selectors, allowing users to easily share content and receive input from recipients in real-time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If static file transfer or screen sharing is used to share digital content, then content can be transmitted between devices, but the process becomes cumbersome and real-time interaction is not facilitated
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes communication channels and prepares sharing sessions before actual content transfer is needed. The server maintains ready-to-use connection paths between devices, so when a user initiates content sharing, the channel is already prepared and content can be transmitted immediately without time-consuming connection setup.
Solution Approach 2:
A server acts as an intermediary between sending and receiving devices, managing communication channels and facilitating content transfer. The server pre-establishes these channels and coordinates the sharing process, eliminating the need for direct peer-to-peer connection setup between devices and enabling rapid content sharing.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional content sharing methods are used, then content can be transferred, but real-time interaction and collaboration are not enabled
Solution Approach 1:
The server provides a universal platform that supports multiple interaction modes including real-time messaging, file transfer, screen sharing, and collaborative editing within a single system. This multi-functional approach enables diverse interaction capabilities without requiring separate specialized applications for each function, maintaining adaptability while managing complexity centrally on the server side.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adapts interaction capabilities based on user needs and content type. The server can switch between different communication modes (messaging, file transfer, screen sharing) and adjust channel characteristics in real-time, providing versatile interaction without requiring complex client-side configurations.
3Productivity
If multiple recipients are involved in content sharing, then collaboration is enhanced, but the complexity of managing connections increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server merges multiple individual communication channels into a single coordinated sharing session. Instead of managing separate connections between each pair of participants, the server consolidates all recipient connections through a unified session management system, reducing connection management complexity while enabling efficient multi-party collaboration.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as a central mediator that manages all connections between the sender and multiple recipients. It coordinates content distribution, manages session states, and handles interaction routing, thereby simplifying connection management for users while supporting efficient collaboration among multiple participants.

AI summary
Methods, systems and computing devices for establishing a content sharing session between computing devices are disclosed. In one example, prior to establishing the content sharing session: (1) user selection input selecting at least a portion of content displayed by a user computing device is received; (2) in response, a content sharing window comprising the portion of the content and user-selectable contact selectors is displayed; and (3) user contact input selecting a contact selector corresponding to a selected recipient is received. In response to receiving the user contact input, the content sharing session is established in which the portion of the content is provided to a recipient device associated with the selected recipient. An interaction region is displayed in the content sharing window, and recipient input from the recipient device is displayed in the interaction region.
