Solution Overview

Problem

Current video conferencing systems lack secure archiving and display capabilities for remote healthcare management, failing to ensure privacy and confidentiality of health information, and do not allow authorized access to archived sessions.

Innovation Solution

A cloud video system with a cloud server and clients connected via a network, where the server determines whether to record video sessions based on client roles, and includes a video content management system for archiving and secure access by administrators.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If video conferencing sessions are recorded and archived, then the ability to review sessions in medical disputes is improved, but the security and privacy protection of health information deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo session archiving capabilityVSAvoidprivacy and confidentiality risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a cloud server as an intermediary between clients and archived video data. The server determines whether to record sessions based on client roles, acts as a secure mediator that controls access to archived content, and enables review capabilities while maintaining privacy protection through centralized authorization management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different recording policies to different clients based on their roles. Administrators have sessions recorded while regular users do not, creating localized quality differences in the archiving approach that balance privacy protection with review needs for authorized personnel

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If all video sessions are recorded for security purposes, then the confidentiality protection is improved, but the system complexity and storage requirements deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfidentiality protectionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements partial recording by selectively archiving only certain video sessions based on client roles and session types. Instead of recording all sessions universally, the system applies recording only where necessary (e.g., administrator sessions, healthcare-related calls), reducing storage complexity while maintaining confidentiality for critical sessions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the recording parameter dynamically based on client role identifiers. The cloud server evaluates role parameters to determine recording status, transforming a static all-or-nothing recording approach into a dynamic parameter-based decision system that reduces overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A cloud video system is provided. The cloud video system includes: a cloud server and a plurality of clients. The clients are connected to the cloud server via a network, and each client has an individual role. When the first of the clients has established a video session call with other clients, the cloud server determines whether to record the video session call according to the individual role of each client in the video session call.
