Chat Room Access Link Generation for Network Call Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing network call systems restrict access to chat rooms based on friend relationships, preventing non-friends from participating in network calls, which limits the flexibility and accessibility of network communication.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allows any call terminal to access a chat room by generating a chat room identifier and a call reservation notification with an access link, enabling call terminals to invoke a network call client without pre-existing friend relationships, using a server to manage chat room creation and access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the system restricts chat room access to friend relationships only, then security and privacy are improved, but accessibility and flexibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the access control mechanism into two distinct paths: one for friend-based access (maintaining security) and one for invitation-based access (enabling flexibility). The server distinguishes between different access types and applies different validation rules, allowing the system to simultaneously support both restrictive and permissive access modes for different scenarios
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an invitation code as an intermediary element that mediates between the initiator and non-friend participants. This intermediary carries verification information that allows the server to authenticate non-friend access requests without requiring a pre-existing friend relationship, thus enabling flexible access while maintaining security through the invitation verification mechanism
2Reliability
If the system requires pre-established friend relationships for network calls, then privacy protection is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by having the initiator pre-generate and distribute invitation codes to intended participants before the actual network call occurs. This preliminary distribution of access credentials eliminates the need for participants to establish friend relationships in advance, simplifying the operation while maintaining privacy through the invitation-based verification mechanism
3Reliability
If the system uses friend relationship verification for chat room access, then security is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the invitation code mechanism universal, allowing it to serve multiple functions: it can be used for non-friend access verification, distributed through various communication channels (messaging, email, etc.), and validated by the server alongside friend relationship checks. This multi-functional design consolidates access control logic into a unified system that handles both friend and non-friend scenarios without requiring separate complex mechanisms

AI summary
A network call method, a server, a call terminal, a network call system, and a storage medium are provided. The network call method includes: receiving a reservation request transmitted by a call reservation terminal, the reservation request including a first communication identifier of a first call terminal; generating a chat room identifier of a chat room in a social network application; generating a call reservation notification, the call reservation notification including an access link generated according to the chat room identifier; and transmitting the call reservation notification to a communication client of the first call terminal according to the first communication identifier of the first call terminal.
