Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional remote presenting systems suffer from poor user experience due to small display dimensions, low scene image resolution, and inadequate audio quality, leading to inconsistent conference experiences across different sites.

Innovation Solution

A remote presenting system comprising multiple displays and video cameras strategically placed to provide a true person-size image, high-definition video, and improved audio, along with a multimedia communication terminal and audio output apparatus to process and output audio/video data, ensuring a uniform conference environment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of moving object

If a conventional display is used for presenting, then the device complexity is reduced, but the display dimension is small and the picture is small, resulting in poor user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay dimensionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple displays together to form a large-scale presentation surface. Multiple display units are arranged and integrated to create a unified large display area, achieving true person-size imaging while distributing the complexity across modular components rather than requiring a single complex display system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Measurement precision

If a conventional video camera is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the scene image resolution is low and the image is not clear enough

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescene image resolutionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the video capture function into multiple specialized cameras positioned at different locations. Each camera captures a specific portion of the scene with high resolution, and the multiple feeds are combined to create a comprehensive high-resolution panoramic view, overcoming the limitations of a single conventional camera.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a single-camera perspective to a multi-camera spatial arrangement, capturing the scene from multiple dimensional perspectives. This dimensional expansion allows for high-resolution coverage of the entire conference environment while maintaining manageable individual camera systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Reliability

If a conventional speaker is used for audio output, then the device complexity is reduced, but the tone quality and sense of immediacy are not sufficiently good

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudio qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The audio output system is segmented into multiple speakers distributed throughout the conference environment. Each speaker handles a specific audio channel or spatial zone, providing high-fidelity sound with improved tone quality and immediacy while maintaining modular complexity that can be managed independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Stability of the object's composition

If a conventional video conference system is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the conference experience consistency is lacking across different sites

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconference experience consistencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal conference environment by integrating multiple functional components (large displays, high-resolution cameras, distributed audio) into a unified system that delivers consistent true person-size imaging and immersive experience across all conference sites, regardless of location.

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