Secure Deep Links for Slot-Based 3D Videoconferencing Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing videoconferencing solutions lack security against meeting link leaks and provide a flat, 2D user interface that fails to replicate real-life interactions, leading to feelings of loneliness and lower productivity.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for generating secure deep links that direct participants to specific meeting slots within a videoconferencing space, incorporating 2D or 3D environments, with features like user graphical representations, entitlements, and authentication, ensuring secure and immersive experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional videoconferencing meeting links are used, then ease of operation is improved, but security is worsened due to link leaks and unauthorized access
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the meeting access mechanism by replacing traditional broad meeting links with specific deep links tied to individual meeting slots. Each deep link is uniquely associated with a particular time slot and participant, dividing the access control into granular units rather than allowing universal access through a single link.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-allocating meeting slots to participants before the actual meeting occurs. Deep links are generated in advance for specific time slots, and the system automatically manages slot allocation and expiration, reducing the need for real-time security management during meetings.
2Device complexity
If flat 2D user interface is used, then device complexity is reduced, but user presence and realism are worsened leading to loneliness and lower productivity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional 2D videoconference interfaces to 3D virtual environments where participants can interact in a more immersive space. This dimensional enhancement allows for realistic spatial relationships, body language detection, and natural interactions while maintaining manageable system complexity through automated rendering and standardized protocols.
Data Source
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.
