Caller Preview Data Transmission for Call Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems do not effectively utilize caller preview data to provide a preview of the caller to the callee before accepting a call, leading to inefficiencies in call management and resource consumption.
Innovation Solution
A method where a caller device sends caller preview data, such as video or audio, to a callee device before call acceptance, allowing the callee to view or hear the caller, and if the call is not accepted within a certain time, the data is stored as a call message, reducing the need for new recordings and optimizing resource usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If caller preview data is transmitted before call acceptance, then the callee can view or hear the caller to make informed decisions, but computational resources and bandwidth are consumed during transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The system transmits caller preview data (video and/or audio) to the callee device before the call is officially accepted. This preliminary transmission allows the callee to view or hear the caller and make an informed decision about whether to accept the call, thereby reducing wasted bandwidth on undesired calls.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the state of the transmitted data from temporary preview data to permanent call message data. When the call is not accepted within a predetermined time period, the previously transmitted preview data is automatically converted and stored as a call message, eliminating the need for separate recording and transmission of call messages.
2Loss of information
If call messages are recorded and transmitted separately, then complete information is provided, but additional computational resources and time are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system recovers and reuses the caller preview data that would otherwise be discarded when a call is not accepted. The preview data transmitted before call acceptance is automatically stored and converted into call message data, making efficient use of previously transmitted information and eliminating redundant recording and transmission processes.
3Loss of energy
If the system waits for call acceptance before transmitting data, then bandwidth is conserved, but the callee receives no preview information
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary transmission of caller preview data before call acceptance occurs. This allows the callee to receive and review preview information (video and/or audio) to make an informed decision about call acceptance, while the system later recovers this data for use as call messages to minimize wasted bandwidth.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from the callee's response to the preview data to determine whether to transmit additional call message data. If the callee accepts the call, the preview data suffices. If the callee does not accept within the predetermined time, the system automatically converts the preview data to call messages and transmits them, creating a feedback-driven transmission strategy.

AI summary
Implementations of the present application relate to caller preview data and call messages based on caller preview data. In some implementations, a method includes sending, by a caller device, a call request to one or more callee devices, and establishing a connection to at least one callee device prior to receipt of an acceptance of the call request by the callee device. At least a portion of caller preview data is transmitted to the callee device over the connection prior to the receipt of the call acceptance. In response to determining that the at least a portion of the caller preview data has been transmitted for a particular time period without receipt of the acceptance of the call request, information is transmitted to instruct a call message to be stored on the callee device, where the call message includes at least a part of the caller preview data.
