Solution Overview

Problem

Current online learning systems rely heavily on video and text teaching, lacking interactivity and suffering from large file sizes, which lead to poor engagement and smoothness issues, especially in remote areas with limited internet capacity.

Innovation Solution

A method for generating a dedicated format file for a panorama mode teaching system that records and synchronizes a teacher's or student's actions, voices, and additional data using a microphone, mouse, keyboard, tablet, or electronic whiteboard, allowing for precise recording and playback of interactive teaching processes, including multimedia and text, to create a compact and interactive file.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If video teaching is used for online learning, then teaching content can be delivered, but file size becomes large and interactivity is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveinteractivityVSAvoidfile size
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the teaching content into distinct action types (stroke actions, media actions, data actions) and records only the essential parameters for each type. Instead of recording complete video streams, it divides the teaching process into discrete actionable elements that can be reconstructed during playback, significantly reducing file size while preserving interactivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts only the necessary interaction data from the complete teaching process. It takes out and records specifically the action paths, coordinates, and essential parameters needed for reproduction, eliminating redundant video data while maintaining the core teaching content and interactivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Productivity

If video files are used for teaching, then content delivery is achieved, but playing is not smooth in areas with limited internet capacity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveteaching delivery efficiencyVSAvoidplaying smoothness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the fundamental parameters of data representation from high-bandwidth video streams to compact action parameter sets. By recording coordinates, timestamps, and action types instead of video frames, the data size is dramatically reduced, enabling smooth playback even in areas with limited internet capacity while maintaining teaching delivery efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Quantity of substance

If text teaching is used for online learning, then file size is small, but teaching is too monotonous and not suitable for children

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefile sizeVSAvoidteaching engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the advantages of both video and text teaching by combining compact text-based action records with rich multimedia content. It integrates stroke actions (like handwriting), media actions (pictures, videos), and data actions into a unified format that maintains small file size while providing engaging, multi-sensory teaching content suitable for children.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal teaching format that can accommodate multiple teaching styles and content types. The system supports various action types (writing, drawing, media insertion, data display) within a single framework, making it versatile enough for different subjects and age groups while maintaining efficiency and engagement.

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

AI summary

The invention relates to a method for generating a dedicated format file for a panorama mode teaching system. By using the method of the invention, the size of the generated format file is small and recording and interaction process is convenient. The method is suitable for digitalized teaching and remote teaching. A traditional remote teaching process is lack of interactions and depends on a high quality network. By using the method of the invention, the above problems are solved. A reliable technology support is provided for teaching resource equalization.
