Screen Sharing Content Appearance Conversion for Remote Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing screen sharing tools in online meetings often fail to accommodate individual viewing needs of participants, leading to suboptimal viewing experiences for those with special requirements, such as low visual acuity.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method that receives and converts screen sharing content based on individual display preferences of receivers, including settings for color, font, font size, and zoom level, to ensure a comfortable and accessible viewing experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If screen sharing content is displayed with host-side appearance characteristics, then the host's viewing preferences are maintained, but individual clients with special viewing needs experience suboptimal viewing quality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by allowing different appearance characteristics (font size, color, zoom level) to be customized for each individual client receiver. Each receiver can have their own display preferences applied to the screen sharing content, enabling local adaptation to specific viewing needs rather than using a uniform host-side appearance setting for all clients.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts appearance characteristics based on receiver-specific preferences. The screen sharing content is not statically displayed with fixed host-side characteristics, but rather adapts in real-time to each receiver's customized settings, making the display properties flexible and changeable according to individual needs.
2Ease of operation
If screen sharing content is customized for each individual receiver, then viewing comfort and accessibility are improved, but system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by obtaining and storing display preferences for each receiver in advance, before the actual screen sharing content is transmitted. This allows the system to pre-configure the appearance characteristics that will be applied to each receiver's view, simplifying the real-time processing by having preferences ready beforehand rather than determining them during content delivery.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple receivers with unique display preferences are supported, then accessibility for diverse viewing needs is enhanced, but network bandwidth and processing resources are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by transmitting and applying receiver-specific appearance characteristics to each individual receiver's screen sharing content. This enables each receiver to view the content with their own customized display preferences (font size, color, zoom level) while maintaining the core screen sharing functionality, thereby supporting multiple unique preferences without requiring complete duplication of content for each user.
Data Source
AI summary
A method, computer system, and a computer program product for application sharing are provided. Setting information that includes a display preference of a receiver is received. Application content from a host computer is received. The application content includes at least one screen image. The at least one screen image is converted according to the setting information. The converted screen image is transmitted to a receiver computer for real-time screen sharing with the host computer. A host controller action signal is received. The host controller action signal represents a host controller action at the host computer. A content modification is transmitted to the receiver computer for the real-time screen sharing and for displaying with the converted at least one screen image. The content modification corresponds to the host controller action.
