Solution Overview

Problem

Current communication technologies do not allow remote users to join events at a physical location without invitation, and they lack variable and modulated access to audio, video, and data, as well as third-party branding and product training capabilities.

Innovation Solution

An integrated credential-based scalable communication system that provides remote access to a physical site, allowing users to gain video-based access and control equipment based on pre-established credentials, with a dashboard module for monitoring and controlling access levels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If current communication technology is used for remote access, then basic audio-visual communication is enabled, but remote users cannot join events without invitation and cannot engage with the physical location

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote access capabilityVSAvoidaccess control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing credentials and access profiles for remote users before they need to join an event. The credential verification and access profile assignment are done in advance, allowing users to spontaneously join events without real-time invitation while maintaining controlled access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by allowing remote users to automatically authenticate using their pre-established credentials. The automated credential verification and access profile application eliminate the need for manual invitation and access grant procedures, making the system both adaptable and easy to operate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If current communication technology is used, then basic remote presence is achieved, but variable and modulated access to audio, video, data, and equipment is not available

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess control granularityVSAvoidaccess management system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by assigning different access profiles to different remote users based on their specific credentials. Each user receives customized access rights (e.g., audio-only, video-only, full access, equipment control) tailored to their role and needs, enabling fine-grained control without requiring a complex manual management system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The access profile system is dynamic, automatically adjusting each user's access rights based on their verified credentials and the specific event context. Access levels can be modified in real-time during events without changing the underlying system complexity, as the dynamic allocation is handled automatically by the credential-based framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If invitation-based communication is used, then security is maintained, but efficiency is reduced due to manual access management

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent setup efficiencyVSAvoidaccess security
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary credential verification and access profile assignment before events begin. This pre-established authentication framework maintains security by verifying user credentials in advance while dramatically improving productivity by eliminating manual invitation and access grant procedures during events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The automated credential verification system maintains security through persistent authentication checks while improving efficiency by allowing users to self-authenticate without manual intervention. The system automatically grants or denies access based on pre-established credentials, simultaneously enhancing both security reliability and event setup productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An integrated credential-based scalable communication system is disclosed providing remote access to a physical site. The system includes a dashboard in electronic communication with a server. The server is configured to receive an access request from a remote user, assign the remote user a credential having an access profile, and transmit an authorization request to the dashboard which displays it for approval by an authorizing agent. The server is configured to receive a live stream from the dashboard module, parse the live stream based on the access profile, and, upon approval by the authorizing agent, transmit a parsed portion of the live stream to the remote user. The dashboard is configured for the authorizing agent to independently modify the access profile and credential, and terminate the live stream. The dashboard includes a switch that prevents the live stream from being transmitted by the dashboard to the server.
