Network Conference Rights Matrix for Flexible Participant Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional teleconference systems lack flexibility in configuring participant rights, leading to unequal encoding and decoding requirements among participants, which cannot be adjusted according to specific meeting scenarios.
Innovation Solution
A network conference system with a user right module for storing participant rights, a meeting right module for creating meeting rights, and a participant right module for determining participant rights based on user and meeting rights, along with a matrix module for processing and distributing media streams according to participant rights.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional teleconference systems use fixed equal rights for all participants, then system simplicity is maintained, but flexibility to configure meeting scenarios is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments participant rights into distinct, configurable categories including audio capture, audio playback, video capture, video playback, and file transfer rights. Each right can be independently assigned to participants based on meeting scenario requirements, allowing flexible configuration without requiring complete redesign of the system architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamic right assignment where participant rights are not fixed but can be changed during meeting setup and execution. The meeting host can grant or revoke specific rights (such as audio/video capture or file transfer) to different participants based on evolving meeting needs, making the system adaptable to various scenarios.
2Adaptability or versatility
If all participants have equal encoding and decoding rights, then system implementation is simplified, but individual participant requirements cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different rights configurations to different participants based on their specific roles and requirements. Instead of uniform treatment, each participant can have customized audio, video, and file transfer rights tailored to their individual needs within the meeting context.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of participant rights from a fixed equal-state to a variable state where each participant's rights (audio capture, video capture, file transfer, etc.) can be independently adjusted. This allows the meeting host to optimize each participant's configuration according to specific meeting scenarios and network conditions.
3Productivity
If participant rights are fixed in conventional systems, then system operation is simple, but ability to accommodate diverse meeting scenarios is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary right configuration actions during meeting setup before the actual meeting begins. The meeting host can pre-assign audio, video, and file transfer rights to participants based on anticipated meeting scenarios, allowing the system to accommodate diverse meeting types without requiring complex real-time adjustments during the meeting.
