Time-Axis Display for Conference Recording Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current conference recording systems fail to effectively integrate and display information from external information presentation systems in association with a time axis, lacking cooperation with external devices to record and browse materials similarly to voice or image data.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with an operation unit, communication units, content acquisition units, storage, and display control, which receives user operations, communicates with external devices, acquires and stores content, and displays it on a time axis, allowing for synchronized viewing of internal and external content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conference recording systems integrate external information presentation systems, then information completeness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides content into two distinct types: first content generated internally by the information processing device, and second content received from external information presentation systems. This segmentation allows the system to manage different data sources separately while maintaining a unified time-axis display, thereby improving information completeness without overwhelming system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The information processing device is designed with multi-functionality to handle both internal content generation (through operation unit, first content acquisition unit) and external content reception (through communication unit, second content acquisition unit). This universal design enables the system to integrate multiple information sources while maintaining a consistent recording and display framework.
2Ease of operation
If multiple content sources are displayed simultaneously, then information accessibility is improved, but display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system resolves display complexity by introducing a temporal dimension (time axis) to organize multiple content sources. Instead of displaying first content and second content in overlapping or confused spatial arrangements, the display control unit positions them at different locations along the time axis based on their acquisition times. This dimensional transformation makes multiple content sources easily accessible while maintaining clear visual separation.
3Measurement precision
If content is stored with acquisition time association, then information traceability is improved, but data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies preliminary action by associating acquisition time with content during the storage phase itself, rather than adding time information later during retrieval or analysis. The content storage unit stores first content and second content with their respective acquisition times embedded, enabling precise traceability from the moment of recording without requiring complex post-processing operations.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing device includes: an operation unit to receive a user's operation; a first communication unit to perform communication with an external device; a first content acquisition unit to acquire first content generated in response to the user's operation; a second content acquisition unit to acquire second content received from the external device; a content storage unit to store the first and second content in association with their respective acquisition times; a display; and a display control unit. The display control unit causes the display to: display a time axis as well as first and second display regions; display the first content at a position on the time axis indicating the time associated with the first content in the first display region; and displays the second content at a position on the time axis indicating the time associated with the second content in the second display region.
