Solution Overview

Problem

Current digital creation systems lack interactivity, as they do not allow users to effectively share creations over the internet or utilize others' creation results for further creations, limiting user interaction and creativity.

Innovation Solution

A network digital creation system with a client-server architecture, where the client end executes a web page document with modules for initializing, setting, plotting, quoting, and inserting graphic elements, enabling users to generate and share quote images by downloading and manipulating graphic data from a server-based graphic database, and inserting external network images for further plotting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If electronic whiteboard is used for digital creation, then ease of operation is improved, but interactivity and shareability over Internet is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidinteractivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between users and the electronic whiteboard system. The server stores creation results and enables network-based sharing and collaboration. Users can access and share creations through the server without direct peer-to-peer connection, resolving the contradiction by adding a mediating component that enables Internet-based interactivity while maintaining ease of operation through the existing electronic whiteboard interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If instant messenger is combined with electronic whiteboard, then user interaction during creation is improved, but storage and public sharing of creation results is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interactionVSAvoidstorage capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the storage function from the instant messenger system and places it in a dedicated server. The server is specifically designed to store creation results permanently and make them publicly accessible, while the instant messenger component focuses solely on real-time communication. This separation resolves the contradiction by assigning storage responsibilities to the server rather than limiting it to the temporary storage capabilities of instant messenger.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Adaptability or versatility

If computer graphing is used for digital creation, then creation capability is improved, but learning threshold is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecreation capabilityVSAvoidlearning threshold
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the electronic whiteboard system multi-functional by integrating both simple drawing capabilities and advanced creation features. The system can perform basic electronic whiteboard functions that are easy to use, while also supporting complex creation tasks through server-based resources, templates, and tools. This universality allows users to access high-level creation capabilities without requiring specialized training, as the system adapts to different skill levels.

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

AI summary

A network digital creation system and the method thereof are disclosed. The client end executes a web page document embedded with a web page procedure in order to initialize the drawing block in the web page document and to allow the user to directly use the cursor to draw. It further enables the user to use quote images previously stored in the server end or the quote the graphic resources in the external network for drawing. After finishing the plot, the user stores the result to the server end to become a quote image. It can be shared to other users by quoting. This facilitates the interactions of network digital creations.
