Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video conference systems cannot insert audio or video information during a teleconference, affecting the conference experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for teleconference information insertion, which involves acquiring valid insertion content by judging and converting its format to match the conference content, and switching the real-time content to the insertion content, using an insertion component and a Multipoint Control Unit (MCU).
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a current video conference system is used, then the basic telecommunication function is maintained, but information insertion capability is lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into multiple functional modules: a first terminal for initiating information insertion, a second terminal for receiving and processing the insertion request, and an MCU for managing the conference stream. This segmentation allows information insertion functionality to be added without affecting the stability of the core conference system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism where the second terminal acts as a mediator between the information source (first terminal) and the conference stream. The intermediary receives insertion requests, processes the information content, and integrates it into the conference flow, thereby enabling versatile information insertion while maintaining system stability through controlled mediation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If insertion content with different formats is stored, then content flexibility is improved, but format compatibility becomes problematic
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary format conversion by storing multiple versions of insertion content in different formats (video, audio, image) in advance. When an insertion request is received, the system selects and outputs the appropriate pre-converted format that matches the current conference stream requirements, avoiding complex real-time conversion and reducing system complexity.
3Speed
If real-time content switching is implemented, then information insertion responsiveness is improved, but conference continuity may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic content switching by dividing the conference stream into time segments and inserting information content at predetermined intervals or at specific trigger points during the conference. This periodic insertion approach ensures that information is delivered responsively while maintaining the overall continuity and stability of the conference stream through structured, rhythmic interruptions rather than random disruptions.

AI summary
The disclosure provides a method, device and system for teleconference information insertion. The method includes: a valid insertion content is acquired according to a stored insertion content after an conference insertion request is detected, and a real-time content of a conference is switched to the valid insertion content. Thus, a purpose of information insertion in a conference is achieved by pre-storing an insertion content before or during the conference, then acquiring a valid insertion content according to the stored insertion content after a conference insertion request is detected during the conference and finally switching the real-time content of the conference to the insertion content, thereby enhancing the effect of the conference.
