Dynamic PTT Group Creation for Adaptive Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional Push-to-Talk (PTT) services limit communication to predefined groups, requiring users to manually search for suitable partners and maintain static groups, which is inefficient and does not accommodate dynamic communication needs.
Innovation Solution
A method and server system that dynamically create PTT groups based on user profiles and call request data, allowing for dynamic selection of communication partners without prior knowledge, supporting various media streams, and enabling conversion to static groups for long-term relationships.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional PTT services use predefined groups, then group stability is maintained, but communication efficiency and adaptability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic group creation where subscribers are automatically selected based on real-time correlation of communication needs, replacing static predefined groups. The system dynamically forms ad-hoc groups during each communication session and dissolves them afterward, enabling adaptability without requiring complex manual group management interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs automatic subscriber selection and group formation without requiring manual intervention. The server autonomously correlates communication needs with subscriber profiles, creates appropriate groups, and manages the entire process, reducing the burden on users while maintaining system simplicity.
2Loss of time
If manual partner selection is required, then communication precision is improved, but time consumption and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
Subscribers pre-provide profiles containing information about their communication needs, interests, and preferences. This preliminary data preparation enables the system to automatically select appropriate partners without requiring manual search or selection during actual communication, significantly reducing time loss while maintaining precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors and correlates communication needs with subscriber profiles, using feedback loops to automatically adjust group formations. This feedback mechanism ensures precise partner selection while eliminating manual intervention, improving both speed and ease of operation.
3Productivity
If static groups are maintained, then group stability is preserved, but data handling volume and maintenance complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the large subscriber base into small, temporary ad-hoc groups formed only for specific communication sessions. This segmentation dramatically reduces the data volume that needs to be actively maintained, as groups are created and dissolved based on real-time needs rather than requiring continuous management of large static groups.
Solution Approach 2:
Temporary ad-hoc groups are automatically discarded after use and can be reformed when needed. This approach eliminates the need to maintain extensive data about permanent large groups, reducing data handling requirements while preserving the ability to quickly reconstitute appropriate groups for new communication needs.
Data Source
AI summary
The invention concerns a method of providing a Push-to-Talk (=PTT) based communication service to subscribers of the PTT service by means of a PTT server which dynamically creates a PTT group. A requesting subscriber sends a call request message to a PTT server. The call request message is analyzed by a request processing unit and the data gathered from the analysis are correlated with profiles of subscribers of the PTT service. Based on the correlation results, the PTT server dynamically creates a PTT group comprising the requesting subscriber and one or more subscribers selected from the other subscribers of the PTT service. The PTT server sends an invitation message to the selected subscribers for establishing a PTT call and establishes a PTT communication connection among the terminal of the requesting subscriber and terminals of selected subscribers an approval message was received from.
