Mobile Teleconference Auto-Join via Remote Proxy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing conferencing systems require manual input of call-in details and multiple steps to join a teleconference from a mobile device, which can be cumbersome and inconvenient for users.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a mobile device automatically joins a teleconference by retrieving stored call-in details and sending them to a remote proxy, which establishes a connection to the teleconference resource, allowing seamless integration via various communication paths such as Wi-Fi, cellular data, or cellular voice, using a single user input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual input of call-in details is required to join a teleconference, then connection accuracy is improved, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by storing call-in details in advance in a database associated with the mobile device. When a user wants to join a teleconference, the mobile device automatically retrieves the stored call-in details and sends them to the proxy device, eliminating the need for manual input while ensuring accurate connection.
2Reliability
If multiple steps are required to join a teleconference, then connection reliability is improved, but processing time deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
A proxy device is introduced as an intermediary between the mobile device and the teleconference resource. The proxy device receives call-in details from the mobile device, automatically establishes the connection to the teleconference resource, and bridges the communication path, thereby reducing the number of steps the user must manually perform while maintaining connection reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing the mobile device to automatically retrieve stored call-in details and send them to the proxy device without user intervention. The proxy device then autonomously establishes the connection to the teleconference resource, minimizing user effort and processing time.
3Ease of operation
If automated connection process is implemented, then user convenience is improved, but system complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The proxy device serves as an intermediary that handles the complexity of automated connection establishment. It receives simple call-in details from the mobile device and automatically manages the connection to the teleconference resource, shielding the user from system complexity while enabling convenient automated joining.

AI summary
A non-transitory computer-readable medium can include instructions for performing a method that includes, in response to an activation user input at a mobile device associated with a teleconference event, automatically joining the mobile device to the teleconference event. The mobile device can join the teleconference event by retrieving stored call-in details for the teleconference event, and sending, from the mobile device to a remote proxy, the call-in details for the teleconference event. The method can also include connecting the mobile device to the teleconference event via a call path that is established in response to the sending.
