Interactive Presentation Environment for Meeting Recording and Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional electronic meetings lack participant control over viewing previous presentation slides or demos, especially when meetings are held remotely, as participants can only view current content and lack features for rewinding, bookmarking, or archiving.
Innovation Solution
An interactive presentation environment with a meeting recorder and navigation controls that allow participants to record, rewind, bookmark, and archive live meetings, enabling selective viewing of meeting portions and adjusting audio and visual settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If electronic meetings are used to enable remote participation, then accessibility and productivity are improved, but participants lose control over viewing previous presentation content
Solution Approach 1:
The system records the live meeting presentation in advance, creating a time-indexed archive of the presentation content. This preliminary action enables participants to access and control viewing of previous content during the meeting, resolving the contradiction between remote accessibility and content control.
Solution Approach 2:
The presentation system dynamically integrates live streaming with recorded content, allowing participants to switch between current and previous presentation frames based on their selection. This dynamic capability provides control over viewing history while maintaining remote participation benefits.
2Device complexity
If participants can only view current presentation content, then system complexity is reduced, but information accessibility and review capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The recorded presentation is segmented into discrete time intervals, with each segment representing a specific portion of the presentation. This segmentation allows the system to manage complexity by organizing content into manageable units while providing comprehensive information accessibility through the time-indexed structure.
Solution Approach 2:
A recording mechanism acts as an intermediary between the live presentation and the participant's viewing experience. This intermediary component stores and manages previous content, providing information accessibility without significantly increasing the complexity of the base presentation system.
3Productivity
If live demos are updated throughout the meeting, then presentation relevance is improved, but ability to review previous demo versions is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously records the live demo updates as they occur, preserving each version of the presentation. This preliminary action ensures that previous versions remain accessible while the presentation remains relevant through continuous updates.
Solution Approach 2:
The recording mechanism operates continuously throughout the meeting, maintaining an ongoing archive of the presentation evolution. This continuous action ensures both the relevance of current content and accessibility to historical versions without interruption.

AI summary
An interactive presentation environment for eMeetings or the like that provides participants with more control over what they see and hear. One embodiment of the interactive presentation environment comprises a meeting recorder adapted to create a recording of a live meeting and a navigation control for selecting a portion of the recording to view during the live meeting. Some embodiment may further comprise a timeline control containing a first graphical indicator associated with a live position and a second graphical indicator associated with a current position, a bookmark control adapted to mark a portion of the recording for archiving, and a display operatively connected to the meeting recorder and the navigation control.
