Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional collaboration systems fail to integrate video call data into collaborative platforms, leading to incomplete or inaccurate data management, inefficiency due to separate application navigation, and inflexibility in generating and analyzing transcripts.

Innovation Solution

A data block integration system using a large language model processes meeting data from multiple video calls to generate block content elements, integrating them into a dynamic virtual space, including summaries, action items, and deadlines, and updating data blocks across linked video calls.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional collaboration systems use separate applications for video call data and collaborative content, then they can maintain specialized functionality for each application type, but they require navigating across multiple applications which consumes excessive processing power and memory

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional versatilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges video call data processing and collaborative content management into a single integrated application. The system ingests video call data directly within the collaboration platform, eliminates the need for separate video call applications, and processes all data types (video transcripts, collaborative documents, spreadsheets) within one unified environment, thereby reducing the number of running applications and associated resource consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If conventional collaboration systems navigate across multiple applications to access video call data, then they can access specialized functionality, but they require excessive client device interactions which reduces efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveaccessibilityVSAvoidoperational efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system combines video call data access with collaborative content management in a single interface. Users can access video transcripts, generate summaries, and work with collaborative documents without navigating between applications, reducing the number of client device interactions and improving operational efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Device complexity

If conventional collaboration systems process video call data in isolation, then they can maintain simple processing logic, but they cannot generate comprehensive summaries that integrate information across multiple video calls and collaborative content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing complexityVSAvoidinformation completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal processing framework that handles multiple data types (video call transcripts, collaborative documents, spreadsheets) through a single integrated process. The large language model can process and synthesize information from any combination of these sources to generate comprehensive summaries that capture information across multiple video calls and collaborative content types

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Stability of the object's composition

If conventional collaboration systems use rigid transcript generation, then they can maintain consistent output format, but they cannot adapt generated summaries to different collaborative platforms or contexts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutput consistencyVSAvoidplatform adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic transcript generation where the large language model adapts its output based on the target collaborative platform and context. The processing framework can adjust summary generation, formatting, and content selection to match different platform requirements while maintaining core functionality, enabling flexible integration across diverse collaborative environments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
