Solution Overview

Problem

Existing live online conferencing applications do not provide real-time feedback to presenters on participants' consumption rates, making it difficult for them to adjust their delivery pace and address challenging content sections during the conference, and they lack the ability for participants to revisit prior sections while still attending the live event.

Innovation Solution

A system that allows participants to revisit prior sections of a live online conference simultaneously with the ongoing content, with monitored revisiting statistics provided to the presenter as visual feedback to inform adjustments in real-time, enabling better synchronization of presentation speed and content delivery with participant understanding.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If real-time feedback on participants' consumption rates is implemented, then presenter adaptability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepresenter adaptabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements real-time feedback by monitoring participant consumption rates and delivering this information to presenters during the conference. This allows presenters to adapt their delivery rate dynamically based on actual participant understanding, resolving the contradiction by providing the necessary feedback mechanism without requiring overly complex manual monitoring systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically monitors and analyzes participant consumption rates without requiring presenters to manually track individual participant progress. The automated tracking and analysis features handle the complex data processing, while presenters receive simplified summary information, reducing the perceived system complexity for end users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If participants can revisit prior sections simultaneously with live content, then participant understanding is improved, but information processing load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparticipant understandingVSAvoidinformation processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments content access by allowing participants to view prior sections and live content in separate, simultaneously accessible interfaces. This segmentation enables participants to process information at different rates without overwhelming the system, as each segment is independently managed and delivered

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts content delivery based on real-time monitoring of participant behavior. When participants revisit prior sections, the system automatically detects this pattern and provides targeted feedback to the presenter, allowing dynamic adaptation without requiring static, pre-planned content delivery paths

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If dynamic feedback during the conference is provided, then conference effectiveness is improved, but data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconference effectivenessVSAvoiddata processing requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the most relevant consumption rate information from the full set of participant data and delivers this distilled feedback to presenters. By filtering and prioritizing critical data points rather than presenting all raw data, the system maintains high conference effectiveness while reducing the data processing burden on presenters

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Disclosed are various embodiments for providing a live online conference through a computer network to participant user interfaces, wherein feedback is provided to a presenter user interface based on participants revisiting prior section content of the online conference during the live online conference. In one implementation, the participant user interface receives instructions causing the participant user interface to revisit prior section content of the live online conference during the live online conference. The instructions causing participant user interfaces to revisit prior section content during the live online conference are monitored. Based on the monitoring of the instructions, a computer determines a revisiting statistic regarding the participant user interfaces revisiting the prior section content. Feedback based on the revisiting statistic is then provided to the presenter user interface. In one implementation, the prior section content and the live online conference content are displayed simultaneously in the participant user interface.
