Connection Controller Session History for Videoconferencing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional videoconferencing systems face challenges in efficiently managing connection history and initiating connections between multiple users, often requiring cumbersome operations and limited network information access.
Innovation Solution
A communication system with a connection controller that records and presents session history information to suggest connection destination candidates, allowing terminals to request and receive lists of potential connection terminals based on past communication data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If connection control is carried out based on terminal-based history only, then terminal connectivity is maintained, but connection initiation becomes cumbersome when users need to connect without prior reservations
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-records participant information and connection history in advance during previous communication sessions. When a new connection is needed, this pre-recorded information is immediately available to suggest connection destinations, eliminating the need for users to manually search or trace history.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection controller acts as an intermediary between terminals, managing and storing participant information centrally. It provides suggestion information to requesting terminals based on recorded history, facilitating easier connection initiation without requiring terminals to independently manage complex history data.
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive session history information is recorded and processed, then connection destination suggestions become more accurate, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential elements needed for connection suggestions—specifically participant information and connection history—from the complete session data. This extracted information is sufficient for generating accurate suggestions without requiring the connection controller to process and manage all detailed session parameters.
3Measurement precision
If facial recognition and geometric model verification are implemented, then participant identification accuracy improves, but processing time and computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Facial images and geometric model data are captured and processed in advance during previous communication sessions. The system pre-establishes the verification data needed for future connections, so that when a new connection is initiated, the verification process can proceed quickly using pre-prepared information.

AI summary
In a system including a plurality of terminals and a connection controller that controls connection among the respective terminals, the connection controller records terminals of a previous connection session and information on participants as session history information. In response to a request for a connection destination candidate from a terminal, the connection controller references the session history information and presents connection destination candidate terminals. The plurality of terminals transmits a connection request to the connection controller and receives a list of connection destination candidate terminals from the connection controller.
