Conference Management System Terminal Selection via Signal Strength
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing conference management systems face issues with unsatisfactory service quality due to insufficient bandwidth, leading to failed connections and inconvenience when participants attempt to join telephone conferences, especially when the second access point is physically distant, and users are forced to switch to different terminal types.
Innovation Solution
A conference management system that displays electric field intensity and available capacity information of multiple terminals to users before participation, allowing them to select the optimal terminal based on these criteria, ensuring better connection quality and convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a user connects to a second access point where bandwidth is available, then band availability is improved, but speech quality deteriorates due to physical distance
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary assessment of multiple access points before conference connection, evaluating both band availability and electric field intensity. This allows users to pre-select the optimal access point that balances bandwidth availability with signal strength, avoiding the trade-off between connecting to a distant AP with available bands versus a closer AP with limited bands.
2Device complexity
If the system only uses wireless LAN network for terminal connection, then device simplicity is improved, but adaptability deteriorates as users cannot select from multiple line types
Solution Approach 1:
The conference management device is designed to support multiple communication protocols and network types (wireless LAN, 3G, and other IP networks). The system can simultaneously manage connections through different access points and network types, allowing users to select from multiple line types while maintaining a unified management interface that simplifies operation.
3Loss of time
If a user fails to participate in a conference due to connection issues, then time is lost, but the system provides no alternative terminal selection, increasing inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays electric field intensity and band availability information for multiple access points before the user attempts conference connection. This preliminary information provision enables users to proactively select the most suitable access point, preventing connection failures and avoiding the need to switch terminals or retry connections, thereby saving time and improving convenience.
