Information Processing Terminal Communication Initiation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing teleconference systems struggle to facilitate communication initiation between terminals not pre-registered in the candidate list, limiting the ability to start communication with unlisted counterparts.
Innovation Solution
An information processing terminal that receives candidate identifiers from a management system and determines whether an input identifier matches any of the received candidates, transmitting specific request information to initiate communication either with a pre-registered terminal or a non-registered terminal using alternative destination information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the system uses a candidate list for communication initiation, then communication with pre-registered terminals is facilitated, but communication with unregistered terminals is blocked
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal is designed to handle two types of communication requests: first request information for pre-registered candidate terminals and second request information for unregistered terminals. This multi-functionality allows the same terminal to serve both registered and unregistered communication counterparts, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation for registered terminals and adaptability for unregistered terminals
2Reliability
If the system transmits first request information to the management system, then communication with registered terminals is established, but communication with unregistered terminals cannot be initiated
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal dynamically selects between two communication protocols based on whether the counterpart is registered or unregistered. When the counterpart is registered, the system transmits first request information to the management system for reliable established communication. When the counterpart is unregistered, the system transmits second request information directly to the counterpart terminal, providing flexibility for ad-hoc communication

AI summary
An information processing terminal includes: circuitry to receive from a management system via a network, a candidate identifier of each one of one or more candidate counterpart information processing terminals that are previously registered for the information processing terminal; and to determine, in response to acceptance of an identifier that has been input, whether the accepted identifier matches any one of the candidate identifiers being received. Based on a determination indicating that the accepted identifier matches any one of the candidate identifiers, the circuitry transmits to the management system first request information requesting to start communication with the candidate counterpart information processing terminal identified with the accepted identifier. Based on a determination indicating that the accepted identifier does not match any one of the candidate identifiers, transmit to the management system second request information requesting to start communication with a counterpart information processing terminal identified with the accepted identifier, the circuitry transmits the second request information including destination information that differs from destination information included in the first request information.
