Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems fail to synchronously display and operate electronic documents across multiple devices during online conferences, particularly in terms of page turning and signature execution.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a remote conference server, document server, and notification server, which enables synchronous page turning and signature display across multiple electronic devices by encoding signature objects into image or video format strings and transmitting them through communication channels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If electronic documents are displayed on multiple devices during online conferences, then document accessibility and collaboration are improved, but synchronous page turning and operation synchronization cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedocument accessibilityVSAvoidsynchronous display
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where page turning operations performed on one device are detected and transmitted to other devices through the server. The server receives operation signals from one client and sends corresponding control signals to other clients, ensuring that all devices同步 their display state based on the feedback loop established by the server.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary between multiple client devices. It receives document data and operation signals from clients, processes the synchronization logic, and distributes the appropriate signals to ensure all clients display the same page state. This intermediary coordination enables synchronous display across distributed devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If signature objects are collected and transmitted between devices, then signature execution capability is improved, but data transmission complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignature executionVSAvoiddata transmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing signature objects into standardized data formats during the signing process. The signature data is captured, formatted, and prepared for transmission in advance, reducing the processing time required when the signature needs to be shared and displayed on other devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A system for displaying an online electronic document includes a document server, a notification server and a remote conference server. The remote conference server is configured to establish a conference call connection between a first electronic device and a second electronic device. The first electronic device and the second electronic device respectively download from the document server and display an electronic document. After one page of the electronic document displayed on the first electronic device is switched to another page, the first electronic device generates a page turning indication and transmits the page turning indication to the notification server via the document server. The notification server transmits the page turning indication to the second electronic device, and one page of the electronic document displayed on the second electronic device is switched to another page in response to the page turning indication.
