Dynamic Subtitle Display Area for Web Conference Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In web conferences, the overlap of text on the screen for the speaker and the audience makes it difficult for both the speaker and the audience to visually recognize the text, as the speaker must operate the subtitle display area while explaining, and the speaker's facial expressions are not effectively conveyed.
Innovation Solution
A system that includes a non-transitory tangible storage medium with a program enabling a computer to function as a data outputter, display setter, indicator, and changer, which outputs text data through voice recognition or translation, sets and changes the display position and size of the text area based on preset conditions, including the speaker's facial expressions, to improve visibility and convey emotions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the speaker operates the subtitle display area to display text while explaining to the audience, then the audience can see the text representation of what the speaker is saying, but the speaker cannot perform the explanation and operation in parallel, making it difficult to visually recognize the text on the screen
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically adjusts the display position and size of the text display area based on detected user operations (mouse movement, keyboard input, application switching) without requiring manual intervention from the speaker. The text display area dynamically repositions itself to avoid overlapping with other screen elements, enabling the speaker to explain while the system handles the text display operations automatically.
2Loss of information
If the text display area is displayed in a fixed position, then the system is simple to operate, but the text may overlap with other screen elements when users refer to their own PC screens, making it difficult to visually recognize the text
Solution Approach 1:
The text display area transitions from a fixed position to a dynamic position that automatically adjusts based on detected user operations. The system monitors mouse movement, keyboard input, and application switching to determine when and where to reposition the text display area, ensuring it remains visible and does not overlap with other screen elements while maintaining relative simplicity through automated control.
3Ease of operation
If the speaker needs to refer to their own PC screen while explaining, then the speaker can provide detailed explanations, but the text on the screen to which the user is referring and the text representing what the speaker is saying overlap, making it difficult to visually recognize both
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the text display function from the fixed screen layout and creates an independent, dynamically repositionable text display area. This separated text display area can be automatically moved to positions that do not overlap with the speaker's reference material on the screen, allowing both the speaker's explanation text and the reference screen content to be simultaneously visible and distinguishable.

AI summary
A subtitle display processing device, a server, and a non-transitory tangible storage medium that stores a program are provided. The subtitle display processing device includes: a data outputter configured to output text data; a display setter configured to set a display position and a display size of a text display area; an indicator configured to display the text data in the text display area; and a changer configured to change at least one of the display position and the display size of the text display area in accordance with a preset change condition.
