Communication Terminal Automatic Link Setup via Mobile Relay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current videoconference systems are cumbersome and time-consuming, especially when dealing with multiple registered communication terminals, as users must manually select or register counterparts, and the process is not efficient when terminals are not pre-registered.
Innovation Solution
A communication terminal that receives terminal identification information from a mobile device, allowing it to automatically determine and connect with a counterpart terminal through a second communication session, even if the terminal is not pre-registered or listed, by using a communication management system to manage contact lists and authentication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users manually select or register counterpart communication terminals, then communication can be established, but the process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically obtaining terminal identification information of counterpart communication terminals in advance through first communication sessions via mobile terminals. This preparation eliminates the need for manual selection or registration during the actual communication initiation, thus resolving the contradiction between reliable communication establishment and time efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication terminal automatically obtains and processes terminal identification information without requiring user intervention for manual selection or registration. The terminal serves itself by autonomously establishing communication with the identified counterpart terminal, thereby reducing the time-consuming manual operations while ensuring reliable communication establishment.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users manually enter destination addresses or register new counterpart terminals, then communication can be initiated, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces mobile terminals as intermediaries that facilitate the automatic transmission of terminal identification information between communication terminals. This intermediary mechanism enables flexible communication initiation with unregistered terminals while simplifying user operations, as the mobile terminal handles the complex information exchange and registration processes automatically.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system supports multiple registered communication terminals, then communication options increase, but the selection process becomes more cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically obtaining terminal identification information of multiple counterpart communication terminals through first communication sessions before the actual communication is needed. This advance preparation allows the terminal to quickly identify and connect with the desired counterpart without requiring users to manually browse or select from multiple registered terminals, thus maintaining versatility while improving operational ease.

AI summary
A communication terminal (10a) receives first terminal identification information for identifying a first communication terminal (70d) from a second mobile terminal (90a), after the second mobile terminal (90a) has received the first terminal identification information from a first mobile terminal (90d) through a first communication session, the first mobile terminal being a mobile terminal that has obtained the first terminal identification information from the first communication terminal (70d), determines the first communication terminal identified with the first terminal identification information as a communication destination, and starts communicating with the first communication terminal (70d) through a second communication session.
