Secure Deep Links for Videoconferencing Slot Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current videoconferencing systems face security concerns due to leaked meeting links, allowing intruders to hijack meetings, and provide a lackluster user experience with flat 2D interfaces, leading to feelings of loneliness and boredom, resulting in lower productivity compared to in-person interactions.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for generating secure deep links that direct participants to specific videoconferencing meeting slots within a videoconferencing space, incorporating participant attributes to allocate slots and provide entitlements, and using 2D or 3D virtual environments to enhance user experience, with features like virtual waiting rooms and biometric authentication for security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional meeting links are used for videoconferencing, then ease of access is improved, but security is worsened due to link leakage and unauthorized access
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the meeting access mechanism into multiple components: deep links that direct to specific meeting slots, meeting slot identifiers, and participant attributes. This segmentation allows secure routing of participants to specific slots while maintaining ease of access through link-based entry.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-allocating meeting slots and generating deep links before the actual meeting occurs. Participants receive their designated meeting slot information in advance through secure deep links, enabling organized access while preventing unauthorized entry.
2Device complexity
If 2D flat user interface is used for videoconferencing, then device complexity is reduced, but user experience is worsened due to feelings of loneliness and boredom
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces spatial dimensions into the videoconferencing interface by implementing meeting slots with positional coordinates (x, y) and potentially z-depth information. This transforms the traditional 2D flat interface into a multi-dimensional virtual space, enhancing user engagement and presence while maintaining implementation feasibility.
3Device complexity
If meeting slots are not allocated based on participant attributes, then device complexity is reduced, but user experience is worsened due to lack of personalization and organization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by allocating meeting slots based on specific participant attributes such as role, department, or priority level. Different participants receive different slot allocations based on their local characteristics, enabling personalized and organized meeting experiences without requiring complex global restructuring.

AI summary
A method for generating secure deep links comprises generating a deep link generation request; receiving a videoconferencing meeting slot list, wherein each videoconferencing meeting slot comprises at least a location within a videoconferencing space of a videoconferencing platform stored in memory; and generating a deep link that is unique for each videoconferencing meeting slot, the deep link encoding at least the location of the videoconferencing meeting slot within the videoconferencing space. Methods for generating spatial deep links for virtual spaces for inviting participants, and methods for generating distributed deep links using data fragments that may be reassembled, are also described.
