Solution Overview

Problem

Existing computer presentation technologies fail to dynamically adjust the visibility of visual content based on changing focus, leading to suboptimal viewer experience as they do not automatically prioritize and adjust the display of accompanying content when the focus shifts between primary and secondary visual elements.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system that determines the presentation priority of visual content by analyzing changes in pixel values and display time, adjusting the visibility of secondary content when primary content is static, and vice versa, ensuring clear display of information without manual intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If the display shows both primary and secondary visual content simultaneously, then information completeness is improved, but viewer focus and clarity deteriorate due to competing visual elements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidviewer focus
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the visibility and display characteristics of secondary visual content based on the focus state of primary visual content. When primary content is static or has low pixel change, secondary content is automatically enhanced in visibility; when primary content is active or has high pixel change, secondary content visibility is reduced. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by making the display system flexible rather than fixed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes display parameters (visibility, size, position) of secondary visual content based on detected focus conditions. By monitoring pixel changes in primary content and adjusting secondary content parameters accordingly, the system maintains information completeness while optimizing viewer focus at different moments during the presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If manual adjustments are made to prioritize visual content, then viewer focus is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to requiring continuous manual intervention

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer focusVSAvoidmanual intervention requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting focus conditions through pixel change analysis and autonomously adjusting the visibility of secondary visual content without requiring manual user input. The presentation system monitors itself and makes real-time display adjustments, eliminating the need for continuous manual intervention while maintaining optimal viewer focus.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback loop where it continuously monitors pixel changes in primary visual content, determines focus state, and adjusts secondary content visibility accordingly. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables automatic prioritization of visual content, improving ease of operation by removing manual adjustment requirements while maintaining effective viewer focus.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Speed

If the system monitors pixel changes frequently to detect focus shifts, then responsiveness is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveresponsivenessVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs periodic monitoring of pixel changes at strategically determined intervals rather than continuous monitoring. By analyzing pixel changes at periodic intervals and adjusting secondary content visibility based on accumulated observations, the system achieves adequate responsiveness to focus shifts while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to continuous monitoring approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

Implementations relate to prioritized display of visual content in computer presentations. In some implementations, a computer-executed method includes obtaining first visual content and second visual content associated with the first visual content, where the first and second visual content include a plurality of pixels. The method provides a display of a computer presentation by a display device, where the first visual content is displayed in a presentation area of the computer presentation. The method determines that a first presentation priority of at least a portion of the first visual content is reduced based on a determination that less than a threshold amount of the at least a portion of the first visual content has changed. In response to determining that the first presentation priority is reduced, the method improves a visibility of a display of the second visual content in the computer presentation.
