Communication Terminal Operator Verification for Video Translation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video translation services often initiate automatic responses without operator involvement, leading to inefficient communication setups in videoconference systems.
Innovation Solution
A communication terminal system that manages requests for communication establishment by comparing identification information and determining whether to respond based on stored data, ensuring operator involvement and efficient connection processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If an automatic response system starts communication without conditions, then the communication can start smoothly, but unnecessary connections are established when operators are not available
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by having the operator manually start the communication before the automatic response system activates. This ensures that communication only begins when an operator is actually available and ready, preventing unnecessary connections while maintaining smooth startup through automated response procedures.
2Device complexity
If an automatic response system starts communication without conditions, then the communication process is simplified, but operator involvement is reduced leading to inefficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The operator performs the preliminary action of manually initiating communication, ensuring actual availability. The automatic response system then handles the rest of the setup process, maintaining simplicity while ensuring efficiency through guaranteed operator involvement at the critical decision point.
Solution Approach 2:
The automatic response system performs self-service by automatically establishing the communication connection once the operator has initiated it. This combines human judgment with automated execution, maintaining simplicity while ensuring efficiency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication terminals respond to a request, then more operators are available for communication, but determining which terminal to connect to becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback mechanisms where each terminal that receives a communication request sends a response containing its identification information. The source terminal receives these responses and can select an appropriate terminal based on the feedback, maintaining adaptability while managing selection complexity through structured information exchange.

AI summary
A communication terminal includes a memory, an interface, and circuitry. The communication terminal is one of a plurality of communication terminals each of which receives a request for communication start from a source communication terminal. The memory stores identification information of the source terminal in response to the request for communication start. The interface responds to the request for communication start, and receives a request for communication establishment from the source terminal. The request for communication establishment is transmitted from the source terminal when the source terminal selects the communication terminal from the plurality of communication terminals each of which responds to the request for communication start. The circuitry determines whether to respond to the request for communication establishment according to a result of comparison between identification information of the source terminal that sends the request for communication establishment and the identification information stored in the memory.
