Extended Workstation Service Resource Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The implementation of videoconferencing is complicated as it requires the installation of a specific service on each object within a computer workstation, making it cumbersome and resource-intensive, especially in environments like conference rooms where dedicated equipment is often needed.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allow the use of a single service installed on an extended workstation to control resources across multiple objects, enabling the automatic exploitation of resources without the need for dedicated equipment, by detecting available objects and resources in real-time and utilizing them for service implementation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a specific service is installed on each object to control resources, then the service can be reliably implemented, but the device complexity and implementation cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the service functionality into a single centralized service (e.g., on a smartphone) that can control multiple objects (laptop, tablet, smartwatch) through a unified interface, eliminating the need to install separate services on each device while maintaining reliable resource control
Solution Approach 2:
The service is designed with universal functionality to work across different object types (mobile phone, laptop, tablet, smartwatch) by detecting available objects and adapting to their specific resources, allowing one service to perform multiple functions on various devices
2Reliability
If dedicated equipment is installed in conference rooms, then the service quality is improved, but the cost and device complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The service can utilize resources from any available object in the environment (smartphones, laptops, tablets, smartwatches) rather than requiring dedicated conference room equipment, making the system universally applicable across different settings without additional hardware investment
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects and utilizes available objects and their resources in the environment without requiring manual configuration or dedicated equipment installation, allowing the environment to serve itself for videoconferencing needs
3Adaptability or versatility
If services are installed on multiple objects, then resource availability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The service automatically detects which objects are available in the environment and configures itself to use their resources without requiring user intervention, making the system easy to operate while maintaining high adaptability to available devices
Solution Approach 2:
The service continuously detects the presence and status of objects in the environment, using this feedback information to dynamically adjust and configure resource utilization, ensuring optimal operation with available devices

AI summary
The invention relates to a method of using an extended workstation, the method comprising: • a step of determining (S500) a first object and a second object suitable for use by a user, the extended workstation comprising each object determined during the step of determining the first object and the second object, • a step of determining (S510) a technical resource of the second object and a means of accessing said resource enabling the use of said resource, • a step of storing (S520), in a server, an identifier of the determined technical resource in association with an identifier of the second object and an identifier of said means of accessing said resource, and • a step of using (S530), by the first object, the technical resource, via the means of accessing said resource.
