Solution Overview

Problem

In remote presentations, there is a common issue where the presenter may discuss content that differs from the visual aids shown to attendees, leading to potential mismatches that can go unnoticed, disrupting the presentation and causing uncertainty about the relevance of the visual aids to the communicated information.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilize a meeting discrepancy system to detect communication data and visual data during a meeting, determining if the content of the visual data matches the communication data, and providing a notification to the presenter when a mismatch is found, using machine-learning models and content analysis techniques to ensure alignment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If the presenter uses visual aids during remote presentations, then the clarity and information provision to attendees is improved, but the risk of content mismatch between visual aids and verbal communication increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation clarity to attendeesVSAvoidcontent alignment between visual and communication data
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors and compares visual data and communication data in real-time, providing immediate feedback to the presenter when a mismatch is detected. This feedback loop enables the presenter to correct discrepancies promptly, maintaining content alignment without disrupting the presentation flow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The meeting discrepancy system acts as an intermediary between the presenter and the presentation materials. It automatically detects and notifies mismatches, serving as a mediating layer that ensures consistency between visual aids and verbal communication without requiring direct manual verification by the presenter.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If the presenter focuses on delivering the presentation without assistance, then the presentation flow is maintained, but undetected mismatches between visual and communication data can disrupt the presentation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepresentation delivery efficiencyVSAvoidcontent consistency detection
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting and notifying content mismatches without requiring manual intervention from the presenter or attendees. The automated monitoring and comparison of visual and communication data allows the presentation to proceed smoothly while maintaining content consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Real-time automated feedback is provided to the presenter when mismatches are detected, enabling quick corrections without interrupting the overall presentation flow. This feedback mechanism maintains both productivity and reliability simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If attendees manually monitor for mismatches between visual aids and verbal content, then content accuracy can be verified, but the presentation becomes disrupted and attendee engagement is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent verification accuracyVSAvoidpresentation smoothness and attendee engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The manual mechanical process of attendee monitoring is replaced with an automated electronic system that continuously compares visual and communication data. This substitution eliminates the need for attendees to divert attention from the presentation while maintaining accurate content verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs content verification autonomously without requiring attendee intervention. The automated detection and notification mechanism handles content accuracy verification independently, allowing attendees to remain engaged with the presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
