Multimedia Stream Communication Data Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current 'Click to Call' technologies require users to manually enter phone numbers from shared terminals, leading to inefficiency and security concerns, as well as difficulties in initiating communications from various devices without prior registration.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that extract and transmit communication data from a multimedia stream, allowing users to access and initiate multimedia communications on any terminal without manual entry, using means to receive, extract, and convert data into a format interpretable by the terminal, enabling secure and straightforward communication setup.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually enter phone numbers from shared terminals, then communication can be initiated, but user effort and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts communication data (phone numbers) directly from the multimedia stream content being viewed on the terminal. The extraction module automatically identifies and retrieves contact information embedded in the multimedia content, eliminating the need for users to manually search for and enter phone numbers from shared terminals or other sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically extracting communication data from the multimedia stream without requiring user intervention for data entry. The terminal itself retrieves and processes the contact information from the content it is displaying, making the communication initiation process autonomous and eliminating manual effort.
2Ease of operation
If users manually enter phone numbers from shared terminals, then communication can be initiated, but security risks increase due to exposure of personal numbers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts communication data directly from the multimedia stream source rather than requiring users to input their personal numbers into shared terminals. This extraction approach ensures that only the contact information necessary for the communication (found within the multimedia content) is transmitted, not the user's personal identification numbers.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal acts as an intermediary that retrieves communication data from the multimedia stream and transmits it to the communication module. This intermediary process eliminates the need for users to directly input their personal numbers into potentially insecure shared terminals, as the system automatically obtains the necessary contact information from the content source.
3Productivity
If users manually enter phone numbers on their own terminals, then communication can be initiated, but the process becomes complicated and error-prone
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts communication data automatically from the multimedia stream, removing the complex manual process of searching for, copying, and entering phone numbers. The extraction module directly retrieves the contact information from the content being viewed, simplifying the entire communication initiation process to a single automated action.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal performs self-service by automatically obtaining communication data from the multimedia stream without requiring user navigation through contacts or manual entry. This self-automated approach eliminates procedural complexity and reduces the likelihood of user errors in the communication setup process.
4Extent of automation
If communication data is extracted and transmitted automatically, then user effort is reduced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the communication data extraction function with the existing multimedia playback functionality of the terminal. The extraction module operates on the multimedia stream that is already being processed and displayed, combining data retrieval with the content consumption process rather than requiring separate systems for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a multimedia playback device and as a communication data extraction and transmission system. The same terminal infrastructure that displays multimedia content also extracts and transmits communication data from that content, eliminating the need for dedicated separate systems and reducing overall complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and a device are provided for making available at least one communication datum retrieved during consultation of a multimedia stream on a first terminal. The method includes a step of reception of a request for obtaining the at least one communication datum, a step of extraction of the at least one communication datum from the multimedia stream, a step of transmission to at least one second terminal of the at least one communication datum extracted. The communication datum transmitted thus makes it possible to implement on the second terminal an application making it possible to establish a multimedia communication between the second terminal and a remote device.
