Multimedia Communication Protocol Virtual Profile Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video and chat systems are inadequate for the complex and flexible communication needs of social networks and web-based communities, failing to realistically reproduce existing contacts and interactions, and lack the features necessary for participants to manage their identities and connections effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method for multimedia communication using TCP/IP and/or UDP protocols that allows participants to create personalized user accounts with virtual profiles, enabling flexible communication modes, data transmission types, and connection settings, including random, search-based, and blacklist functions, as well as one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many communication types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional video and chat systems are used, then basic communication functionality is provided, but the systems cannot meet the complex and flexible communication needs of social networks and web-based communities
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments communication into distinct modes (one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, many-to-many) and data types (video, audio, text, file transfer), allowing flexible combination of these segments to meet diverse communication needs without requiring a completely complex new system architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The communication system is designed to perform multiple functions through a unified architecture that supports various communication modes and data types within the same framework, enabling the system to adapt to different social network and community requirements without requiring separate specialized systems
2Ease of operation
If personalized user accounts with virtual profiles are implemented, then participants can manage their identities and connections effectively, but the setup and configuration process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating virtual participant profiles and setting up communication parameters before actual communication begins, reducing the configuration burden on users while still providing comprehensive identity management capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
Participants can independently manage their own virtual profiles, upload images, add contacts, and configure communication preferences through self-service interfaces, reducing the need for complex administrative configuration while maintaining comprehensive identity management
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication modes and connection types are supported, then communication versatility is enhanced, but the system's operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts communication parameters and modes based on participant preferences, connection availability, and communication context, automatically selecting the most appropriate communication mode without requiring users to manually configure complex settings for each scenario

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for carrying out a multimedia communication based on a network protocol, particularly TCP/IP and/or UDP, particularly video, audio and/or text chats, between an entirety of terminals (2) disposed in a communication network (1). The method is characterized in that a personalized user account is generated on a server (3) or in a peer-to-peer network in the form of a virtual subscriber profile by at least one subscriber. A setup of a multimedia communication occurs on each of the terminals via the setup of the virtual subscriber profile. A mode of a subscriber selection preceding the communication, a communication type, and/or a number of communication links that exist with one of the terminals and/or the type of the data transfer following the communication are freely determined. An arrangement for carrying out a method according to one of the previous claims comprises a communication network having a valid communication protocol, particularly the Internet (1). The invention provides a plurality of terminals (2) having means for transmitting and receiving multimedia content, and a server (3), or a peer-to-peer network having means for operating a hierarchical layer structure comprised of a database layer (4) for the administration of subscriber data, terminal addresses, and multimedia content, a connection layer (5) for carrying out a switching communication between the terminals, a subscriber layer (6) for operating subscriber profiles to be setup by the users of the terminals, and a front-end layer (7) having means for generating and operating a graphical user interface.
