Teleconference Content Synchronization via Automatic Client Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current teleconferencing systems require multiple actions and technical knowledge to share data both locally and remotely, leading to inefficiencies and potential confusion among participants.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize a client application running on a user's processing device to automatically detect and synchronize the sharing of content between local and remote displays, ensuring that the same content is shared both locally and remotely without the need for manual intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual synchronization of local and remote content sharing is implemented, then participants can share content both locally and remotely, but the process requires multiple actions and technical knowledge leading to inefficiency and confusion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines local content sharing and remote content sharing into a single unified operation. When a user initiates content sharing, the system automatically synchronizes the content to both local display and remote participants simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate manual actions for each sharing mode.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements automatic detection and synchronization mechanisms that monitor the user's device and autonomously manage content distribution. The system self-adjusts to ensure consistent content delivery to both local and remote participants without requiring user intervention or technical knowledge about the underlying synchronization processes.
2Ease of operation
If automatic content synchronization is implemented, then the process is simplified and efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a intermediary synchronization layer that sits between the user's content source and the multiple display destinations. This intermediary automatically detects content changes, manages synchronization to both local and remote participants, and handles any discrepancies, thereby simplifying the user interface while containing the complexity in a dedicated mediation layer.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary setup and configuration automatically during initial system deployment or first use. Once configured, the automatic synchronization mechanisms are pre-established and run transparently in the background, requiring no further user action while maintaining simple operation throughout the content sharing process.
3Reliability
If wired matrix-switching systems are used, then reliable data transmission with sufficient bandwidth is achieved, but installation costs increase and aesthetic appearance is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical wired matrix-switching system with a wireless digital transmission system. Instead of physical cable connections and hardware switching matrices, the system uses wireless communication protocols to transmit content data between the user's device, local display, and remote participants, eliminating installation complexity while maintaining transmission reliability through error correction and protocol management.
