Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple functions (screen sharing, remote assistance) are added to the video call application, then the functionality and versatility of the application is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges screen sharing, remote assistance, and doodle functions directly into the video call application interface. The video call interface integrates multiple functional modules that allow users to perform screen sharing, receive remote assistance, and use doodle tools all within a single application, eliminating the need to switch between separate applications while managing complexity through unified architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The video call application is designed as a universal platform that supports multiple functions: video calling, screen sharing, remote assistance, and doodle capabilities. The system enables a single application to serve multiple purposes, allowing users to perform various tasks without leaving the video call interface, thereby improving versatility while maintaining a unified application structure
2Adaptability or versatility
If the user needs to switch between applications to use screen sharing and remote assistance functions, then the functionality is available, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions (video call, screen sharing, remote assistance, doodle) into a single integrated interface. Users can access and switch between these functions instantly within the same application without needing to open or switch between separate applications, significantly improving ease of operation while maintaining full functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-configures and pre-loads multiple functional modules within the video call application interface. Screen sharing controls, remote assistance options, and doodle tools are prepared in advance and readily accessible within the interface, allowing users to immediately access these functions without needing to switch applications or perform complex setup procedures

AI summary
Embodiments of this application disclose an enhanced video call method, including: The first electronic device establishes a video call with a second electronic device; if the first electronic device detects a first operation of a user on the screen sharing control, the first electronic device sends, to the second electronic device, a first request for sharing a screen of the first electronic device; and if the first request is agreed to by the second electronic device, the first electronic device displays a shared interface in a second display area of the first electronic device, and the first electronic device sends display data of the shared interface of the first electronic device to the second electronic device.
