Mobile Terminal Data Sharing with Multipoint Communication Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminals face inconvenience when attempting to share ongoing phone calls with multiple participants, as they require disconnecting and reconnecting to multipoint communication devices, and the speaker phone function often results in insufficient call quality due to inadequate microphone and speaker capabilities for large areas.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for seamless data transmission and reception between a mobile terminal and a multipoint communication device, involving data sharing requests, channel establishment, and data conversion to suit output terminal formats, allowing for convenient conference calls without interrupting ongoing transmissions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the user disconnects and reconnects to the multipoint communication device to share a phone call, then the call can be shared with multiple participants, but the operation becomes inconvenient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables continuous data transmission between the mobile terminal and multipoint communication device without requiring disconnection and reconnection. The system maintains an established communication channel while dynamically adding participants to the call, allowing the useful action of communication to continue uninterrupted while adapting to new participants.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic participant management where the system can add or remove participants from the conference call without restructuring the entire communication connection. The channel remains established while the system dynamically adjusts which data streams are routed to which participants, making the system adaptable without requiring reconnection.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the speaker phone function is used for conference calls, then multiple people can participate, but the call quality becomes insufficient due to inadequate microphone and speaker capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the audio processing functions by separating the mobile terminal's audio capabilities from the multipoint communication device's audio capabilities. The mobile terminal handles data transmission while the multipoint device with superior microphone and speaker hardware handles audio capture and output, dividing the functions to achieve both multi-participant capability and high call quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The multipoint communication device acts as an intermediary between the mobile terminal and the conference participants. It receives data from the mobile terminal, processes it through its superior audio hardware, and distributes it to multiple participants, thereby mediating between the limited mobile terminal capabilities and the requirement for high-quality multi-participant communication.
3Ease of operation
If data is transmitted between mobile terminal and multipoint communication device, then seamless sharing is achieved, but data format conversion is required to suit output terminal formats
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service data conversion where the multipoint communication device automatically detects the output terminal format requirements and performs the necessary data format conversions without user intervention. The conversion process is handled autonomously by the system, maintaining seamless operation while managing the complexity internally.
Solution Approach 2:
The multipoint communication device serves as an intermediary that handles data format conversion between the mobile terminal's data format and the output terminal's required format. This intermediary role isolates the format conversion complexity from the user, allowing seamless data sharing while the system manages the conversion requirements.
Data Source
AI summary
An apparatus and a method are provided for data transmission and reception of a mobile terminal, which seamlessly provide data transmission and reception between the mobile terminal and a multipoint communication device. The method includes requesting, by the mobile terminal, data sharing from another mobile terminal, for sharing of data transmitted and received to and from the another mobile terminal; receiving approval of the request for the data sharing from the another mobile terminal; establishing a channel connection between the mobile terminal and a sharing device for the sharing of the data; and transmitting and receiving the data to and from the sharing device through the channel.
