Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote presentation solutions face difficulties due to the heterogeneity of IT environments and network configurations, leading to issues such as incomplete or delayed document display and insufficient bandwidth, which complicates or prevents successful remote screen control during virtual meetings.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize a Documents & Locations/Configurations table and a User/Configuration table to automatically load, convert, and adapt documents on a remote presentation server, allowing for synchronized or asynchronous document sharing based on user configurations, ensuring seamless display across varying terminal settings without requiring installation on user workstations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If documents are shared in high format quality with full functionalities, then document display quality is improved, but users without suitable configuration or sufficient bandwidth cannot display documents completely or in reasonable time
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects user configuration parameters (bandwidth, terminal capabilities, screen resolution) and dynamically adjusts document format parameters (compression rate, image quality, video resolution, frame rate) to optimize display quality within user constraints. This resolves the contradiction by making document quality adaptive rather than fixed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic document format selection and conversion based on real-time user configuration detection. The system transitions from static high-quality documents to dynamically adapted formats, allowing the same document to be optimally displayed across heterogeneous user environments without sacrificing quality for users who can support it.
2Productivity
If automatic document loading and conversion is implemented on the presentation server, then document compatibility and display speed are improved, but system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-detecting user configurations and pre-converting documents to appropriate formats before actual display. The presentation server proactively prepares multiple document versions based on detected user capabilities, eliminating the need for complex real-time conversion during document sharing and improving overall efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a configuration detection mechanism and automatic conversion layer as an intermediary between the document source and user terminals. This intermediary handles the complexity of format conversion and compatibility adaptation, shielding users from technical complexity while maintaining high document sharing efficiency across diverse configurations.
3Ease of operation
If no installation is required on user workstations, then ease of access and user acceptance are improved, but control and consistency of document display across different terminals deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of requiring user terminals to have specific software installations to ensure display consistency, the patent inverts the approach by having the presentation server adapt documents to match each user's existing terminal capabilities. This maintains ease of access while achieving reliability through server-side adaptation rather than client-side standardization.

AI summary
The invention relates to a method and system for the remote control of a display screen, said system being initiated by a remote display server that communicates with at least one terminal by means of at least one communication channel that is set up through an information and/or telephone network. Said method is characterized by the following steps: placing a "Documents & Locations/Configurations" table and a "User/Configuration" table on the display server; loading and/or automatically converting documents on the server and/or on other locations then updating a document-loading table; storing documents on the server and on other locations; placing an application on the terminal of a user, thus making it possible for the documents to be read, updated, and synchronized; testing, by means of the server, the bandwidth of each user, and then updating the "User/Configuration" table; and sending documents in synchronous or asynchronous mode to the users, thus enabling the documents to be self-adaptable.
