Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems fail to allow facilitators to intuitively grasp the status of discussions in multiple groups during online group discussions, as they can only view edited display areas without comprehensive understanding of the discussion content or conversion amount.
Innovation Solution
A visual communication system that displays an information display screen with a conversation log area showing language information chronologically and a whiteboard work area for content placement, along with a status check screen for facilitators to view the discussion status of multiple groups simultaneously.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a facilitator views edited display areas in existing communication systems, then the facilitator can see the display screen being shared, but the facilitator cannot intuitively grasp the discussion status or conversion amount of multiple groups
Solution Approach 1:
The information display screen is segmented into multiple functional areas: a first area displaying language information converted from speech in chronological order, and a second area displaying screenshots or visual content from the shared display screen. This segmentation allows participants to simultaneously view both the converted text and the original visual context, comprehensively grasping discussion status without information loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The status check screen serves multiple functions: it displays a list of information display screens for multiple groups, allows selection of specific groups, and provides navigation to detailed views. This multi-functional design enables facilitators to manage and monitor multiple group discussions through a single unified interface.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple groups conduct events with shared display screens, then each group can have its own discussion, but the facilitator cannot grasp the status of communication at each event
Solution Approach 1:
The system adds a hierarchical dimension to the display structure: individual information display screens for each group are organized within an overarching status check screen. This dimensional organization allows facilitators to switch between viewing individual group discussions in detail and reviewing multiple groups simultaneously, maintaining adaptability while preventing information loss about overall communication status.
3Quantity of substance
If language information is displayed chronologically without visual context, then the conversion amount is visible, but the discussion content cannot be comprehensively understood
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges two types of information that were previously separate: language information converted from speech (first area) and visual content from the shared display screen (second area). By displaying these merged elements simultaneously within the same information display screen, the system allows users to comprehend both the volume of discussion and the contextual content without information loss.
