Solution Overview

Problem

In preparing multimedia presentations, the need for contributors and operators to be in the same physical location for scripting and final revisions is inefficient, requiring synchronization of schedules and incurring additional expenses and efforts due to travel requirements.

Innovation Solution

A virtual scripting room is established, allowing contributors to connect remotely with the operator through high-speed networks, enabling real-time or asynchronous collaboration using multimedia software for creating, revising, and presenting scripted presentations, with the operator having final authority over saving and editing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If contributors and operators meet in the same physical location for scripting, then collaboration and revision efficiency are improved, but travel costs and schedule coordination complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollaboration efficiencyVSAvoidschedule coordination time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a virtual copy of the physical scripting room by transmitting video feeds from multiple locations to a central display system. Contributors and operators can view and interact with the presentation script from remote locations, eliminating the need for physical travel while maintaining collaborative efficiency. The video conferencing system replicates the presence of all participants in a shared virtual space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Ease of operation

If contributors and operators meet in the same physical location for scripting, then real-time collaboration is improved, but travel expenses and logistical effort increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollaboration easeVSAvoidtravel effort
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of physical travel with an electronic communication system. Video conferencing technology transmits visual and audio information electronically, allowing contributors and operators to collaborate in real-time without physical movement. This substitution eliminates travel expenses and logistical coordination while maintaining ease of collaboration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Loss of energy

If remote scripting is implemented, then travel costs are reduced, but real-time collaboration and accountability may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetravel costVSAvoidaccountability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the control operator has final authority to accept or reject contributions to the presentation script. The video conferencing system allows the control operator to observe contributors in real-time and provide immediate feedback on their inputs. This feedback loop ensures accountability and quality control while enabling remote participation, maintaining reliability without requiring physical presence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A live presentation may be prepared and displayed by providing a primary scripting room for preparing a presentation script and a control computer in the primary scripting computer for use by a control operator to view and/or edit possible contributions to the presentation script and for saving the presentation script being preparing. At least one remote scripting room may be connected to the primary scripting room by network to form a virtual scripting room therewith. A remote computer may be provided in the remote scripting room for operation by a contributor to provide possible contributions to the presentation script viewable by the remote operator. At least portions of the saved scripted presentation may be presented on a display computer as the live presentation.
