Overlapping Communication Interface for Synchronized Content Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional video communication interfaces are inflexible and inconvenient for real-time content sharing, leading to synchronization issues and a lack of intuitive interaction between users.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method and apparatus that enables content sharing and application interaction by establishing a communication link between electronic devices, displaying a secondary interface with overlapping areas for shared information, and allowing users to initiate sharing through a sharing start-up instruction, enabling simultaneous display and synchronization of shared content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional communication interface is used for video communication, then the interface structure is simple, but real-time content sharing and synchronization are difficult to achieve
Solution Approach 1:
The communication interface is segmented into multiple functional areas: a first area for video communication and a second area for content sharing. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each function while maintaining overall system reliability for synchronized content sharing.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface transitions from a traditional single-plane layout to a multi-layered structure with overlapping areas. The second area is disposed on the first area with partial overlap, creating a multi-dimensional spatial arrangement that enables simultaneous video communication and content sharing without interfering with each other.
2Reliability
If a traditional message window is used for sharing contents during video communication, then the interface is simple, but real-time synchronization of discussed contents cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The video communication function and content sharing function are merged into a single integrated communication interface. Users can simultaneously view video content and share/discuss content in real-time within the same interface, eliminating the need to switch between separate windows and achieving real-time synchronization of discussed contents.
Solution Approach 2:
The processor acts as an intermediary that receives sharing start-up instructions, manages the display of multiple areas, and coordinates the synchronization between video communication and content sharing. This intermediary mechanism simplifies user operations while ensuring real-time synchronization.
3Ease of operation
If a non-overlapping interface layout is used, then the interface design is simple, but the flexibility and convenience of operation are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The interface layout employs dynamic overlapping areas rather than fixed non-overlapping regions. The second area is disposed on the first area with a degree of overlap that can accommodate different content sizes and types, providing operational flexibility while maintaining a manageable interface structure.
