Online Conference Access Control via Offline Room Identification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional online conference management systems lack security measures to ensure only authorized participants can attend online conferences, as anyone can join with access information, leading to potential security issues.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method for managing online conferences that include a group identification information receiver, an online conference identifier, and an online conference manager to verify user access and transmit entry information, creating new conferences if necessary, and managing participant information to ensure secure and controlled access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional online conference management allows anyone to join with access information, then ease of operation is improved, but security deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary identification of offline conference room users before allowing online conference participation. The group identification information receiver captures user identities in advance, and the online conference identifier pre-verifies whether these users are authorized participants, preventing unauthorized access before it can occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification system between the offline conference room and online conference. The group identification information receiver and online conference identifier act as mediators that verify user identities and transmit only authorized participant information, ensuring security while maintaining operational flow.
2Reliability
If separate reservation for offline conference room with video conference equipment is required, then security is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the offline conference room management system with the online conference management system. By combining the group identification information receiver with the online conference identifier and manager, the system creates a unified management architecture that reduces complexity while maintaining security controls.
Solution Approach 2:
The online conference manager performs multiple functions: it receives group identification information, identifies authorized users, manages participant information, and transmits entry information. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining security.
