Dynamic Group Communication Member List Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In group communication systems, there is an upper limit to the number of communication terminals that can participate at once, leading to empty slots when not all terminals receive the group communication start notification, preventing new terminals from joining even if others are not participating.
Innovation Solution
A method that allows communication terminals to dynamically manage participation by sending participation requests, receiving intentions from non-participating terminals, and updating the member list to include new participants, enabling terminals to join ongoing group communications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a representative communication terminal sends group communication start notifications to the maximum number of terminals, then the group communication can start with full capacity, but empty slots arise when not all terminals participate, preventing new terminals from joining
Solution Approach 1:
The member list is made dynamic by allowing updates during ongoing group communication. The host terminal can register new communication terminals that wish to join after the group communication has started, replacing empty slots with newly joining terminals. This dynamic adjustment enables the system to adapt to changing participation conditions while maintaining full utilization of available slots.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the member list is fixed at the start of group communication, then the system structure is simple and stable, but new communication terminals cannot join even if slots are empty
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary registration of communication terminals in the member list before group communication starts. The host terminal maintains this member list and can perform preliminary updates when new terminals express willingness to join. This preliminary action framework allows the system to maintain stability during communication while enabling adaptive updates when needed.
3Reliability
If communication terminals wait for official invitation to join group communication, then the system maintains security and control, but terminals cannot join spontaneously even when slots are available
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where communication terminals can transmit their willingness to join group communication to the host terminal. The host terminal receives this feedback and updates the member list accordingly, allowing new terminals to join while maintaining controlled authorization. This feedback loop balances security with ease of operation.

AI summary
A group communication method in which a communication terminal not participating in the group communication can newly participate in the group communication even while the group communication is being carried out is realized. The group communication method has a personal information management step of managing personal information, a participation request transmission step, a group communication control step, and an other party updating step, in a case where participation intention in the group communication is received from another communication terminal to which no participation request has been transmitted in a state of “party not participating” in which at least one party among the plurality of terminals of the parties sent the participation requests does not participate in the group communication, deleting the party not participating in the group communication from a member list and registering the other party of the other communication terminal in the member list as a party for engaging in the group communication to thereby allow the other communication terminal to participate in the group communication.
