Online Meeting Join Feature Restoration via Network Activity Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Online meetings may be generated without a join link or the join link may be accidentally removed, leading to difficulties in conducting the meeting successfully due to missing metadata or incorrect URL identification.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that detect network activity to identify meeting identifiers, generate a join request, and display a user interface to send the join request, employing pattern matching and HTTP get operations to verify URLs and recreate metadata for join features.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If metadata is delivered to invitees from different organizations, then the online meeting can be accessed by more users, but the join metadata may be erased or dropped during delivery
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting the absence of join metadata before the meeting actually needs to start, and proactively recreates the join feature by extracting URLs from the meeting body. This prevents the metadata loss problem from affecting the meeting conduct, as the restoration happens in advance during the detection phase.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where it continuously monitors online meetings for missing join metadata, detects the condition, and triggers automatic restoration. The feedback loop ensures that whenever join metadata is absent or incorrect, the system responds by recreating it using pattern matching and URL extraction from the meeting invitation body.
2Productivity
If an organizer copies and pastes the online meeting to another invitation, then the meeting can be reused efficiently, but the join features may fail to be added
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by automatically detecting and restoring missing join metadata without requiring manual intervention from the organizer. When a copied meeting is detected to be missing join features, the system autonomously extracts URLs from the meeting body and recreates the join metadata, making the restoration process transparent and effortless for the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary validation and restoration of join features immediately after detecting a copied meeting, before the user attempts to use it. This ensures that the meeting is fully functional with proper join metadata before it is presented to the user, preventing operational issues later.
3Measurement precision
If pattern matching is used to detect URLs in network activity, then accurate meeting identifiers can be identified, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by using pattern matching only when specifically needed to detect URLs in network activity, rather than continuously. The pattern matching is triggered selectively based on detected conditions (such as absence of join metadata), reducing unnecessary processing while maintaining high accuracy when the detection is actually required.

AI summary
Methods and systems for displaying a user interface including a join feature for an online meeting are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes detecting network activity for an online meeting, correlating the network activity to identify a meeting identifier for the online meeting, generating a join request for the online meeting based on the identified meeting identifier, and displaying a user interface configured to send the join request.
