Solution Overview

Problem

The existing process for calling a terminal to join a conference is complex, requiring notification of a conference administrator with mobile phone numbers and IP addresses, and subsequent administrator verification before the terminal can join.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allow a calling terminal to directly call a called terminal using identification information, eliminating the need for administrator verification and simplifying the conference call process by enabling the called terminal to receive and publish messages within the conference without administrator intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a participant sends a call request with mobile phone number, IP address, and site information to a conference administrator for verification, then the conference administrator can verify whether the called terminal can successfully join the conference, but the process of calling a terminal to join the conference becomes complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification accuracyVSAvoidcalling process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the verification function from the conference administrator and implements it automatically within the conference management system. The system automatically verifies whether the called terminal can successfully join by checking site availability, participant capacity, and communication quality without human intervention, thus eliminating the need for administrator involvement while maintaining verification accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The conference management system performs self-verification by automatically checking whether the called terminal can join the conference. The system independently validates site information, checks participant capacity, assesses communication quality, and executes the calling process without requiring administrator intervention,实现ing automated self-service functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If a conference administrator manually verifies site information and sends call instructions, then the called terminal can be added to the conference, but the time required for the calling process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecalling accuracyVSAvoidcalling time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary verification where the conference management system pre-checks site information, participant capacity, and communication quality before initiating the calling process. This automated preliminary action eliminates the need for manual administrator verification and significantly reduces the time required while maintaining calling accuracy through systematic validation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual verification process with an automated electronic verification system. The conference management system uses automated algorithms to check site availability, validate participant capacity, assess communication quality, and execute calling operations, substituting human administrator actions with efficient automated processes that reduce time while maintaining accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A method and an apparatus for calling a terminal to join a conference, related to the field of communications technologies, resolving a problem that a process in which a calling terminal calls a called terminal to join the conference or a called terminal requests joining the conference is complicated. The method includes the following steps: receiving first call request information, where the first call request information carries identification information of the called terminal; and calling the called terminal according to the identification information of the called terminal, so that the called terminal receives a message which is published by another terminal in a current conference and that the called terminal publishes a message to another terminal in the current conference. The method may be applied to calling a terminal to join a conference.
