Screen Sharing Identity Indicators for Cross-Terminal Content Sync
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to notify users whether contents displayed on multiple terminals are identical and provide information about inputted answer sections during screen sharing.
Innovation Solution
A system that compares and displays identicalness or discrepancy signs on terminals to indicate matching or differing content, and notifies users of inputted answer sections through a questionnaire, using terminals with display, communication, and control units to facilitate synchronized information sharing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If screen content is shared across multiple terminals, then information sharing capability is improved, but ability to detect content identity and synchronization status deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color-coded visual indicators (identicalness signs and discrepancy signs) to display the synchronization status of shared content across terminals. Different colors represent different states (e.g., green for identical, red for different), enabling users to quickly detect content identity and synchronization status without complex analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary indicator system that mediates between the shared content and users. These indicators act as a visual intermediary layer that translates complex synchronization data into simple, detectable visual signals, allowing users to understand content identity status without directly analyzing the underlying data.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple terminals display shared content, then collaboration capability is improved, but awareness of display consistency and user inputs deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where identicalness signs and discrepancy signs continuously provide visual feedback to users about the consistency of displayed content across terminals. This feedback loop enables users to maintain awareness of display consistency and understand the current state of shared content without losing information about synchronization status.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the shared content display into distinct visual components: the actual content and the synchronization indicators. This segmentation allows users to separately perceive content and its consistency status, preventing information loss about display consistency while maintaining collaboration capability.
3Measurement precision
If content synchronization is monitored across terminals, then information accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the complexity of synchronization monitoring from the main content display system. By separating the monitoring function into distinct visual indicators (identicalness signs and discrepancy signs), the system maintains high information accuracy while reducing the perceived complexity for users. The complex monitoring logic is hidden behind simple visual representations.

AI summary
To provide a system for notifying a user of whether contents displayed on terminals between a plurality of users are identical and a system with which, when an input is made on one terminal in one answer section of a questionnaire, information regarding a question item corresponding to the above-described answer section is displayed on another terminal. A system is connected to a first and a second terminals. When an object displayed on a screen of the first terminal is a first object and an object corresponding to the first object displayed on a screen of the second terminal is a second object, the system causes one or both of the screens of the first and the second terminals to display: one or both of an identicalness sign as a display regarding that the first object and the second object are identical, and a discrepancy sign as a display regarding that the first object and the second object are different.
