Presentation Feedback Interface for Anonymous Real-Time Input
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing meeting technologies lack efficient, non-disruptive, and real-time methods for participants to provide anonymous feedback to presenters, especially in large in-person settings, and fail to allow participants to select speakers and agenda items collectively and anonymously.
Innovation Solution
A system and method enabling participants to provide anonymous feedback and select speakers/agenda items using a dual-purpose interface on mobile devices, with feedback integration and analysis by a data processing unit, allowing seamless communication between in-person and online modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If participants use electronics to provide feedback in in-person environments, then real-time feedback and large-scale participation are enabled, but attention focus on the speaker and presentation material is disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The system collects feedback periodically at predetermined time intervals during the presentation rather than continuously, allowing participants to focus on the presentation between feedback collection moments. This periodic sampling enables real-time feedback without requiring constant electronic interaction that would disrupt attention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements automatic feedback collection and processing that operates independently without requiring active participant management during the presentation. The automated nature of feedback collection minimizes disruption while maintaining continuous feedback capability.
2Loss of information
If continuous quizzes or polls are administered to assess student understanding, then real-time information is provided to presenters, but the presentation flow is disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
Feedback is collected at predetermined time intervals rather than continuously interrupting the presentation. This periodic approach allows the presenter to maintain flow while still gathering ongoing information about participant understanding without the disruption of frequent quiz interruptions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables continuous feedback collection in the background without interrupting the presentation flow. Multiple feedback data points are gathered throughout the presentation continuously, maintaining both the assessment function and presentation continuity simultaneously.
3Loss of information
If feedback is shared among all participants, then valuable information is provided to the group, but participants who prefer privacy are uncomfortable
Solution Approach 1:
The feedback system provides multiple output modes that can be selected based on participant preferences and presentation needs. The same feedback data can be shared publicly, shared privately with the presenter only, or kept anonymous, making the system universally applicable to different privacy requirements without sacrificing information value.
4Adaptability or versatility
If a dual-purpose interface is used for both providing and receiving feedback, then bi-directional communication is enabled, but interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The interface is designed to perform multiple functions (providing feedback and receiving feedback) through a unified design. The same interface elements serve different purposes depending on the context, reducing the need for separate interfaces while enabling bi-directional communication capability.

AI summary
A method for collecting feedback from at least one participant during a presentation and for providing the feedback to a first presenter includes, by a data processing unit connected to at least one participant device associated with the at least one participant, setting a time increment for collecting feedback from the at least one participant. At each time increment, feedback that is provided by the at least one participant via the at least one participant device is collected by the data processing unit. The feedback provided by the at least one participant is then associated with each time increment by the data processing unit. The data processing unit stores the feedback in a database connected to the data processing unit. The feedback is presented, via at least one presenter device associated with the presenter, to the first presenter.
