Event Content Sharing via Dual Identifier Linking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack an automated method for sharing content among attendees at events, such as conference materials and photos, leading to manual communication and inefficiencies in information exchange.
Innovation Solution
A computing device identifies potential participants and sends global and private identifiers to facilitate content sharing, allowing participants to submit and access event-related content based on these identifiers, with public and private storage areas for different levels of access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual communication methods are used for sharing conference materials and photos, then attendees can exchange information, but the process is time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that automatically receives, stores, and distributes event content to attendees. The server mediates between content providers and recipients, enabling automated sharing without manual intervention. Attendees receive content through automated notifications containing access information, eliminating the need for manual communication while maintaining efficient information exchange.
2Extent of automation
If attendees manually exchange information outside the conference, then they can share content, but there is no automated system for content distribution
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs multiple functions within a single system: it stores event content, generates notifications, manages attendee information, and distributes content automatically. This multi-functional approach achieves automated content sharing without requiring complex coordinated systems, as the server handles all automation tasks centrally.
3Speed
If conference materials are distributed by postal mail or electronic mail, then attendees receive materials, but the distribution is not automated and lacks real-time sharing capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical distribution methods (postal mail and manual electronic mail) with an automated electronic distribution system. The server automatically generates and sends notifications containing content access information to attendees in real-time, eliminating the need for manual distribution processes while achieving instant content delivery.
4Quantity of substance
If multiple cameras are used for group photos, then more attendees can have photographs, but sharing the photos requires manual communication and contact information exchange
Solution Approach 1:
The server acts as an intermediary that automatically receives photographs from attendees and distributes them to relevant participants. Instead of requiring manual sharing between attendees, the server automates the distribution process by sending photo content through notifications, making photo sharing as easy as receiving any other event content.
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments enable content sharing using event notifications that include a global identifier and a private identifier. The event notifications are sent to potential participants to an event. Potential participants that accept the event notification or otherwise request to join the event use the private identifier to submit content to a content sharing service. Based at least on the private identifiers associated with event participants, the content from event participants is selectively shared among the other event participants.
