Solution Overview

Problem

Current multimedia conference technologies do not effectively address the need for convenient storage and retrieval of conference content, leading to potential data loss due to storage resource constraints and lack of accessibility.

Innovation Solution

A data processing method and apparatus that receive a multimedia data stream, generate storage data based on a recording instruction, and store it in the cloud, allowing users to access the content at any time while conserving terminal device storage resources and preventing data loss.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multimedia conference data is stored locally on terminal devices, then users can access conference content, but terminal device storage resources are consumed and data loss risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata securityVSAvoidstorage resource consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the storage function from terminal devices and relocates it to cloud storage services. The terminal device only keeps minimal local cache for immediate playback, while the majority of conference recording data is stored externally in the cloud, thus resolving the contradiction between data security and storage resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces cloud storage services as an intermediary between terminal devices and conference data. This intermediary enables users to access conference content without storing large amounts of data locally, thereby protecting terminal device storage resources while ensuring data availability and security through centralized cloud management.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If cloud storage is used for multimedia conference data, then storage resources are saved and data security is improved, but access convenience may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata securityVSAvoidaccess convenience

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-processing conference recording data into standardized formats suitable for cloud storage before upload. This preparation work is done in advance, enabling fast retrieval and playback when users access the data, thus maintaining ease of operation despite using cloud storage.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical local storage and retrieval system with a network-based cloud storage system. By substituting physical storage mechanisms with digital network access, the system achieves both data security through centralized protection and access convenience through network connectivity, allowing users to retrieve conference data from any location.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
