Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Video communications on mobile devices are prone to disruption due to competing applications and resource competition, leading to a dull or ineffective user experience as they often require dedicated resources and cannot seamlessly integrate with other applications or adapt to changing computing conditions.
Innovation Solution
Implementing dynamic display and management techniques for video communication data, allowing it to be blended with other applications' data, with runtime configuration of display attributes and input handling for pausing, resuming, or ending video communications through touch inputs, ensuring efficient resource use and flexible display modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If video communication applications are run on mobile devices with multiple concurrent applications, then device functionality and user productivity are improved, but video communication quality and reliability deteriorate due to resource competition and disruption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism that monitors system resource availability and dynamically adjusts video communication parameters. This mediator layer sits between the video communication application and the underlying system resources, detecting when resources are contested and automatically pausing or resuming video data transmission based on current system conditions, thus resolving the conflict between multi-application functionality and video communication reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic adaptation by continuously monitoring system resource availability and adjusting video communication behavior in real-time. The system transitions between different operational states (active, paused, resumed) based on changing resource conditions, allowing video communications to adapt flexibly to the dynamic environment of mobile devices running multiple applications
2Reliability
If video communication data is displayed in dedicated full-screen mode, then communication quality is improved, but adaptability to other applications and runtime configuration deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display mode switching that allows video communication data to transition between full-screen and integrated display modes based on system conditions and user needs. The display configuration is no longer static but adapts runtime, enabling the system to switch from dedicated full-screen mode (when communication quality is priority) to integrated mode (when application versatility is priority), thus resolving the contradiction between communication quality and adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the video communication display system multi-functional by enabling it to operate effectively in both dedicated full-screen mode and integrated mode within other applications. The same video communication infrastructure supports multiple display configurations and integration scenarios, allowing it to serve both high-quality communication needs and versatile application integration needs
3Reliability
If video communication requires dedicated computing resources, then communication reliability is improved, but ease of operation and user flexibility deteriorate due to resource constraints
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service mechanisms where the video communication system automatically monitors its own resource requirements and makes autonomous decisions about pausing and resuming communications based on system conditions. The system serves itself by detecting resource availability and adjusting its operation without requiring user intervention, thus maintaining communication reliability while adapting to resource constraints and preserving user flexibility

AI summary
Computing devices may implement dynamic detection of pause and resume for video communications. Video communication data may be capture at a participant device in a video communication. The video communication data may be evaluated to detect a pause or resume event for the transmission of the video communication data. Various types of video, audio, and other sensor analysis may be used to detect when a pause event or a resume event may be triggered. For triggered pause events, at least some of the video communication data may no longer be transmitted as part of the video communication. For triggered resume events, a pause state may cease and all of the video communication data may be transmitted.
