Solution Overview

Problem

Current computer presentation systems face challenges in efficiently presenting multilingual documents and multimedia content across multiple devices, leading to poor user experience due to difficulties in synchronizing different languages and formats, especially with animation effects.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that utilize at least two video output ports to divide a document into multiple parts, each in a different language, allowing synchronous output to corresponding video output ports, using configurations such as XML files or multiple files with language-specific content, enabling seamless multilingual presentation across various devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple display devices are used to present different languages independently, then each viewer can see their desired language, but the contents become difficult to arrange coherently and synchronization is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelanguage display adaptabilityVSAvoidcontent arrangement difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The presentation system divides the document into multiple language-specific parts and assigns each part to a specific video output port. This segmentation allows different languages to be displayed independently on different devices while maintaining coherent content structure through synchronized output control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each video output port is configured with specific language content according to the target audience's language preferences. This local quality approach ensures that each display device presents content in the appropriate language while the overall system maintains coherent synchronization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple files are used for different languages with extension mode or multi-mode, then each document can be in one language, but the operation becomes inconvenient for the speaker requiring multiple switch operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemultilingual supportVSAvoidpresentation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple language files into a unified presentation structure that can be controlled through a single interface. By combining the output control of multiple video ports under one system, the speaker can perform single operations to switch between languages rather than manually switching multiple presentations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The presentation system achieves multi-functionality by enabling a single presentation file to output to multiple video ports simultaneously, each displaying different languages. This universal approach allows one system to handle multiple languages and multiple display devices without requiring separate presentation files for each language.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If all three languages are included on each page, then viewers can select their language, but the document arrangement becomes difficult and user experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelanguage selection flexibilityVSAvoiddocument structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts language content from a single multi-language document and separates it into language-specific streams for different video output ports. This extraction approach removes the complexity of arranging multiple languages on each page while maintaining the flexibility for viewers to select their preferred language.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A document can be presented on a computer that includes at least two video output ports. The document is divided into multiple parts, with each part being expressed in a different language. Each one of the at least two video output ports can be configured in or for a language of a partial document to be output by the video output port. Each one of the at least two video output ports can be made to synchronously output the partial document to which the language configured for the video output port corresponds.
