Teleo-Experience Server Resolving Participant Control Conflicts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Teleo-operated devices can limit tourism experiences when multiple participants want to explore different areas, as conflicts arise in directing a single device, leading to unsatisfied participants and restricted exploration opportunities.
Innovation Solution
A server coordinates a common teleo-experience session by receiving and resolving conflicting teleo-control requests from multiple participant devices, selecting an option based on participant preferences, and sending instructions to manage connections between participants and teleo-operated devices, allowing for multiple device usage if necessary.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single teleo-operated device is used for multiple participants, then device complexity is reduced, but participant satisfaction deteriorates due to conflicting exploration preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments participants into different groups based on their exploration preferences and assigns different teleo-operated devices to each group. This segmentation allows each device to serve a specific subset of participants with similar preferences, resolving the conflict between using a single device and accommodating diverse participant needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically assigns participants to different teleo-operated devices based on real-time preference analysis and device availability. This dynamic allocation allows the system to adapt to changing participant preferences and optimize the matching between participants and devices during the tour session.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple teleo-operated devices are deployed, then participant preference accommodation improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple teleo-operated devices are deployed with identical or similar functional capabilities, allowing any device to serve any participant group. This universality means that while multiple devices are used, each device maintains a standardized set of functions, preventing exponential increases in overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses multiple copies of the same teleo-operated device type, each capable of performing the same functions. This copying approach allows the system to scale capacity by adding more identical units rather than designing increasingly complex multi-functional devices, thereby accommodating more participants without proportionally increasing device complexity.
3Reliability
If teleo-control requests are coordinated through a server, then conflict resolution improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A server acts as an intermediary between participants and teleo-operated devices, receiving teleo-control requests from participants, analyzing preferences, and routing requests to appropriate devices. This intermediary layer centralizes the conflict resolution logic, improving reliability by ensuring systematic conflict management while keeping individual device complexity low.
Solution Approach 2:
The server implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring participant preferences, device status, and tour progress in real-time. This feedback loop allows the system to dynamically adjust device assignments and resolve conflicts based on current conditions, improving conflict resolution effectiveness while maintaining a relatively simple coordination architecture through automated decision-making.

AI summary
Methods and apparatus related to teleo-experience sessions are disclosed. A server coordinates a common teleo-experience session for a plurality of P participant devices, each configured to receive media content from one or more teleo-operated devices of a plurality of D teleo-operated devices, with P greater than D. A plurality of teleo-control requests are received at the server that specify at least two preferred options for at least one parameter of the teleo-experience session related to the plurality of D teleo-operated devices. The server determines whether the at least two preferred options conflict. If the least two preferred options conflict, the server selects an option for the at least one parameter based on the at least two preferred options and sends at least one teleo-control instruction based on the selected option for the at least one parameter.
