Instant Messaging Client for Simplified Conference Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current remote conferencing methods via telephone conferences are inefficient due to complex operations requiring users to manually dial a fixed telephone number and enter a conference password.
Innovation Solution
A conferencing communication method that uses a server to send a protocol string to an intelligent terminal, invoking an instant messaging client, receiving an IM user identifier and attendance credential, adding the user to an IM user group, and establishing an Internet channel for communication, thereby simplifying the conferencing process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If telephone conference method is used, then remote conference can be established, but operations are complex and efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an IM client as an intermediary between the user and the conference system. Instead of directly dialing telephone numbers and entering passwords, users interact with the IM client which automatically handles conference joining operations. The server acts as another intermediary that receives IM user identifiers, manages user groups, and establishes Internet channels, thereby simplifying the user interface and improving operational efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical telephone dialing system with an electronic IM-based system. Instead of manually dialing fixed telephone numbers and entering conference passwords through telephone keypads, the system uses electronic message passing through IM clients and servers. This substitution of mechanical operations with electronic automation significantly reduces operational complexity and improves efficiency.
2Ease of operation
If manual dialing and password entry are required, then conference security can be maintained, but user operations become complex
Solution Approach 1:
The IM client automatically performs conference joining operations without requiring manual user intervention for dialing or password entry. The system retrieves conference information, establishes connections, and manages the joining process autonomously based on user identifiers. This self-service approach simplifies operations while maintaining security through automated authentication mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The server performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing Internet channels and preparing user groups before users need to join conferences. Conference information and access credentials are prepared in advance, allowing users to simply initiate joining through the IM client without complex real-time operations. This preliminary preparation maintains security while simplifying the user experience.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for performing a conference communication by an intelligent is disclosed. The method includes sending, via a conference link to a conference server, an access request specifying a mapping character string and an identifier of an operating system running in the intelligent terminal; receiving a protocol string from the conference server generated according to the mapping character string and the identifier in the access request, the protocol string comprising a conference attendance credential; automatically initiating an instant message (IM) client in the operating system according to the protocol string; and sending an IM user identifier associated with the intelligent terminal and the conference attendance credential to the conference server to add the IM user identifier to a temporary IM user group corresponding to the conference attendance credential and establishing an Internet channel for the temporary IM user group to perform the conference communication via the IM client.
