Communication System Data Sharing Status Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In conventional communication systems, receiving terminals cannot effectively share their reception status of shared data, leading to user frustration when one terminal completes data reception while others take longer due to network issues, causing delays in starting explanations during remote communication sessions.
Innovation Solution
A communication system where the transmitting terminal monitors and reports the status of data sharing among multiple receiving terminals, sending a share status report when not all terminals have completed data reception, allowing users to understand the cause of delays and reducing stress.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the transmitting terminal waits for all receiving terminals to complete data reception before proceeding, then data sharing completeness is ensured, but communication efficiency and user experience deteriorate due to unnecessary delays
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where receiving terminals report their data reception status back to the transmitting terminal. The transmitting terminal receives share completion reports from each receiving terminal and uses this feedback information to determine when to proceed with the explanation, rather than waiting for all terminals to complete reception. This allows the system to maintain reliability by tracking completion status while improving efficiency by proceeding once sufficient feedback is received.
2Loss of information
If the transmitting terminal provides real-time status updates to all receiving terminals, then user awareness of reception status improves, but network traffic and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The transmitting terminal acts as an intermediary that collects share completion reports from receiving terminals and then communicates the consolidated share status information back to the receiving terminals. This intermediary approach provides real-time status visibility to users without requiring each terminal to continuously query or exchange detailed status information directly, thereby reducing network traffic and system complexity while maintaining information transparency.

AI summary
A communication system includes a first communication terminal; and two or more second communication terminals that share shared data with each other. The first communication terminal transmits the shared data; and transmits, to the second communication terminal that has transmitted a share completion report indicating that sharing of the shared data has been completed, a share status report indicating that there is the second communication terminal that has not yet transmitted the share completion report, based on whether the share completion report has been received from the second communication terminal. The second communication terminal receives the shared data; and displays the share status report indicating that there is the second communication terminal that has not yet transmitted the share completion report, upon receiving the share status report indicating that there is the second communication terminal that has not yet transmitted the share completion report.
