Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing presentation systems require complex setup and convoluted processes for connecting and sharing images between communication devices, making it difficult to capture, store, and transmit presentation images efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize a computer with a database and processor to generate a presentation space, allowing multiple communication devices to join, capture screenshots, and transmit visual and audio components, including a chat feature, enabling easy sharing of presentation images within the presentation space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional presentation systems are used to connect and share images between communication devices, then image sharing functionality is achieved, but the setup process becomes complex and convoluted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that manages presentation spaces and coordinates communication between devices. The server handles space creation, device registration, and screenshot distribution, eliminating the need for direct peer-to-peer configuration between communication devices and simplifying the overall setup process
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication devices connect to share presentation images, then collaboration capability is improved, but the process becomes convoluted and difficult to manage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal presentation space that can accommodate multiple communication devices simultaneously. The server-managed space serves as a common platform where any number of devices can join, share screenshots, and communicate through integrated chat functionality, eliminating the need for separate configuration pairs between devices
3Manufacturing precision
If screenshot capture functionality is added to presentation systems, then image capture capability is improved, but the system requires additional complex configuration steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic screenshot capture functionality where the system itself performs the capture action based on presentation events. The server automatically detects when screenshots should be captured during presentations and distributes them to connected devices, eliminating the need for manual capture commands or additional configuration steps
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method are disclosed for generating a presentation space for two or more communication devices using a computer coupled with a database and comprising a processor and memory. The computer generates a presentation space and transmits requests to join the presentation space to the two or more communication devices. The computer stores in memory identification information for each of the two or more communication devices. The computer transmits the presentation space to the two or more communication devices and detects chat messages transmitted between the two or more communication devices. The computer also detects screenshot capture commands transmitted by one of the two or more communication devices to the computer. The computer records one or more screenshots in response to the screenshot capture commands and displays one or more screenshots in the presentation space.
