Solution Overview

Problem

Existing remote collaboration systems only support single-channel collaboration on shared screen content, limiting the ability to perform multi-channel remote collaboration effectively.

Innovation Solution

A method for displaying conference shared screen content that allows multiple channels of shared screen content to be displayed and operated on simultaneously, enabling multi-channel remote collaboration by obtaining and displaying multiple shared screen contents and processing collaborative operation data across terminals.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If only one channel of shared screen content is supported, then the system complexity is low, but the adaptability and collaboration capability are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollaboration capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the shared screen content into multiple independent channels (first shared screen content and second shared screen content), each capable of being operated on separately. This segmentation allows the system to support multi-channel collaboration while maintaining manageable complexity through independent processing of each channel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The conference terminal is designed to handle multiple types of shared screen content channels universally. The terminal can receive, display, and process operations on both first and second shared screen content channels, making the system adaptable to various collaboration scenarios without requiring separate specialized systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If multiple channels of shared screen content are displayed simultaneously, then the collaboration experience is enhanced, but the display complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollaboration experienceVSAvoiddisplay complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the display into multiple independent channels, the system can present different content streams simultaneously without overwhelming complexity. Each channel operates independently, allowing straightforward rendering and processing of operations on each channel separately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a multi-dimensional display approach by presenting shared screen content across multiple channels simultaneously. This dimensional expansion allows participants to view and interact with different content streams in parallel, enhancing collaboration experience while maintaining manageable processing through structured channel architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Productivity

If real-time processing of collaborative operations across multiple channels is implemented, then the productivity and responsiveness are improved, but the processing time and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveresponsivenessVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The collaborative operation processing is segmented by channel, with each channel's operations processed independently and in real-time. This segmentation enables responsive handling of operations on each channel without requiring sequential processing of all channels, thus improving responsiveness while managing processing time through parallel handling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous real-time processing of collaborative operations across all channels. Operations on shared screen content are processed immediately as they occur, ensuring continuous responsiveness and productivity. The multi-channel architecture enables this continuous action by processing each channel's operations independently and concurrently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
