Dynamic Terminal Selection for Real-Time Video Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current information sharing technologies, such as social networking and surveillance systems, are limited to fixed camera locations and do not allow for dynamic addition or real-time sharing of visual information, failing to meet users' diverse requirements for capturing and sharing video information.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for determining a sharing terminal that enables real-time video sharing by sending sharing request information, receiving response information from multiple called terminals, and selecting the most suitable terminal based on intention degree, satisfactory degree, and idle time information to collect and share optimal video information of a shared target.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If fixed cameras are laid out at different places in an area for surveillance, then visual information of the area can be obtained in real time, but both locations and the number of cameras are fixed so that a camera collecting apparatus cannot be added dynamically in real time to meet people's different requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the fixed surveillance system into a dynamic one by enabling mobile terminals (smartphones, tablets) to function as video collecting apparatus. Users can dynamically add or remove camera sources by simply using or stopping their mobile devices, eliminating the need for fixed physical camera installations while maintaining real-time visual information collection capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes mobile terminals serve multiple functions: they act as both communication devices for receiving/share requests and as video collecting apparatus for capturing visual information. This multi-functionality allows the same device to fulfill both communication and surveillance roles, enabling dynamic system composition without additional dedicated hardware.
2Measurement precision
If multiple called terminals respond to sharing requests, then optimal video information can be acquired through cooperative interaction, but the system complexity increases due to need for selecting and coordinating multiple terminals
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where called terminals send response information containing intention degree, satisfactory degree, and idle time to the calling terminal. The calling terminal uses this feedback to automatically select the most suitable sharing terminal, eliminating complex manual coordination while ensuring optimal video information quality through data-driven selection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables automatic terminal selection and coordination without requiring external intervention. The calling terminal autonomously evaluates response information from multiple called terminals, calculates composite scores, and selects the best sharing terminal based on predefined criteria, making the system self-managing and reducing operational complexity.
3Productivity
If automatic terminal selection is performed based on response information, then real-time video sharing can be established quickly, but the calling terminal needs to process and analyze multiple parameters from multiple terminals
Solution Approach 1:
Called terminals prepare and send their evaluation parameters (intention degree, satisfactory degree, idle time) in advance as part of the response information. This preliminary action allows the calling terminal to perform quick composite score calculations without needing to conduct additional surveys or assessments, thereby maintaining fast video sharing establishment while systematically processing multiple parameters.
