Display Context Routing for Virtual Meeting Privacy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
During virtual meetings, presenters often inadvertently share confidential or non-work-related content on their secondary displays, leading to unprofessional behavior and potential disclosure of sensitive information, due to accidental launches of applications or webpages.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a processor and data storage system that obtains context data from network-based devices and selects between primary and secondary displays to launch network-responsive resources based on user context and content relevance, ensuring that sensitive information is not shared with the audience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a user shares their primary display during a virtual meeting, then meeting content is visible to participants, but confidential or non-work-related content on the secondary display may be inadvertently shared
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the display system into a primary display (shared with meeting participants) and a secondary display (private to the user). This segmentation allows confidential content to remain isolated on the secondary display while meeting content is shared on the primary display, preventing inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary component that intercepts application launch commands and redirects them to the appropriate display. When an application is launched during screen sharing, the intermediary automatically routes it to the secondary display, preventing accidental sharing of non-work-related content while maintaining ease of operation for the user.
2Productivity
If a new application or webpage is launched during screen sharing, then the user can access needed resources, but the content may appear on the wrong display and be inappropriately shared
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring display contexts and monitoring active screen sharing states before applications are launched. When an application launch is detected, the system has already established the appropriate display context, enabling automatic and accurate routing of the new application to the correct display without requiring user intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms that monitor the current screen sharing state and use this information to automatically determine the appropriate display for new applications. The feedback loop ensures that applications are consistently routed to the correct display based on the current meeting context, improving both reliability and productivity.
Data Source
AI summary
An electronic device is provided that includes a first display configured to display a primary resource, and a second display electronically coupled to the first display. The electronic device also includes a processor, and a data storage device having executable instructions accessible by the processor. Responsive to execution of the instructions, the processor shares the first display, including the primary resource, with at least one network based electronic device, and obtains context data related to a user of the at least one network based electronic device. Also responsive to the instructions, the processor selects between the first display and the second display to launch a network responsive resource based on the context data related to the user of the at least one network based electronic device while sharing the first display with the at least one network based electronic device.
