Dynamic Watermark Positioning for Readable Virtual Meeting Content
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional virtual meeting platforms face challenges in maintaining the readability of watermarked content, as static watermarks can obstruct important information and fixed positioning may not accommodate different device screen sizes, leading to loss of readable content.
Innovation Solution
A dynamic watermarking system that allows participants to interactively adjust the position of the watermark on their client device, ensuring that it does not obstruct important content, and can extend or wrap around the screen edges as needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a static watermark is superimposed on content during a virtual meeting, then content security is improved, but content readability deteriorates because the watermark obstructs important information
Solution Approach 1:
The watermark is transformed from a static overlay to a dynamic, movable element that participants can reposition interactively. The system detects user gestures (e.g., dragging, pinching) and adjusts the watermark position in real-time, allowing users to move the watermark away from important content areas while maintaining its presence for security purposes.
Solution Approach 2:
The watermark's position and visibility are optimized locally for each participant's view based on their specific device screen size, content being displayed, and viewing angle. Each participant can independently adjust the watermark to their local context, ensuring security is maintained while readability is preserved for their specific situation.
2Device complexity
If a watermark is fixed at a specific position, then implementation complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different device screen sizes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The watermark system transitions from a fixed-position implementation to a dynamic, adjustable position system. The watermark can be repositioned based on the participant's device screen dimensions, aspect ratio, and content layout, automatically adapting to different devices without requiring complex device-specific configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The watermark system is designed to function universally across multiple device types (smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops) with different screen sizes and orientations. A single watermark implementation serves all devices, automatically scaling and repositioning to maintain effectiveness regardless of the specific device being used.
3Reliability
If a watermark covers the entire content area, then security coverage is improved, but content visibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of a single large watermark covering the entire content area, the system can implement multiple smaller watermarks distributed across different regions of the content. This distributes the security coverage while reducing the obstruction in any single location, allowing participants to move individual watermarks away from critical information areas.

AI summary
Methods and systems for increasing readability of watermarked content in a virtual meeting. Content presented to a participant of a plurality of participants during the virtual meeting is identified, and it is determined whether watermarking of the content is to be performed. Responsive to determining that the watermarking is to be performed, a watermark is superimposed on the content. The content with the watermark is displayed in a virtual meeting user interface on the first client device. Responsive to input of the first participant, a position of the watermark with respect to the content is modified in the virtual meeting user interface.
