Presenter Visual Feedback for Screen Data Reception Status
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In current screen data sharing technologies, presenters lack real-time feedback on whether changes to shared screen data have been received by viewers, leading to uncertainties in network latency and loss rates, which can affect the timing and content of their presentations.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that provide visual feedback to presenters by transmitting confirmation of receipt of changed visual data from viewers, generating a representation of the received data, and displaying it to the presenter, allowing for timely adjustments based on viewer confirmation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If screen data is transmitted to multiple viewers over a network, then the presentation can be shared with multiple users, but the presenter cannot know whether the changes have been received by all viewers due to unknown latencies or loss rates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where viewers send confirmation signals to the presenter when they have received and processed the screen data changes. This feedback loop allows the presenter to know whether the changes have been successfully transmitted to all viewers, resolving the information loss problem while maintaining the screen data sharing capability.
2Reliability
If the presenter waits for confirmation of data receipt, then the presenter can ensure all viewers have received the changes, but this introduces uncertainty and delays in the presentation timing
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the presentation flow based on real-time feedback from viewers. The presenter can pause to wait for confirmation when reliability is critical, or continue smoothly when viewers have already received the data, thereby maintaining both reliability and timing flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The confirmation feedback mechanism allows the presenter to make informed decisions about when to proceed with the presentation. The system provides real-time information about data reception status, enabling the presenter to balance reliability requirements with timing flexibility based on the actual feedback received.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the presenter tailors remarks for visual data received by viewers, then the presentation can be adapted to actual viewer conditions, but this requires additional information about viewer reception status
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses simple confirmation signals from viewers to provide feedback about data reception status. This feedback enables the presenter to adapt remarks to actual viewer conditions without requiring complex analysis systems, thereby achieving presentation adaptability with minimal added complexity.

AI summary
Methods for providing to the presenter visual feedback regarding the screen data received by one or more viewers in an online presentation environment having a presenter transmitting screen data to one or more viewers over a network may include: transmitting data representing changed visual data; receiving confirmation of receipt of the changed visual data from one or more viewers; generating a representation of the visual data received by one or more viewers responsive to the received confirmation data; and displaying the generated representation at the presenter. Corresponding systems may include: a transmitter which transmits data representing changed visual data; a receiver which receives confirmation of receipt of the changed visual data from one or more viewers; and a display generator which generates a representation of the visual data received by one or more viewers responsive to the received confirmation data, and which displays the generated representation at the presenter.
