Terminal Video Call Matching via Signal History Check
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication terminals lack effective methods for matching users and expanding human relations, particularly in facilitating connections between individuals with different genders through mediation services.
Innovation Solution
A terminal and operating method that receives profile information from multiple devices, generates and transmits signals based on user preferences, attempts video calls, and displays profile information and waiting times, allowing for efficient matching and dialogue initiation even if video calls are not established.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a terminal attempts video call to match with counterpart terminals, then user matching effectiveness is improved, but loss of time increases due to video call waiting time
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal checks whether there is a mutual favorable signal history before attempting a video call. This preliminary check ensures that only terminals with pre-established mutual interest engage in video calls, reducing unnecessary waiting time and improving matching effectiveness by pre-filtering compatible counterparts.
2Ease of operation
If a terminal displays profile information and video call waiting time, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server acts as an intermediary that manages profile information storage, retrieval, and matching logic. By offloading these complex operations to the server, the terminal's processing requirements are reduced while still providing comprehensive profile information display and waiting time tracking to the user.
3Measurement precision
If a terminal checks history of favorable signals before video call, then user matching precision is improved, but productivity decreases due to additional checking steps
Solution Approach 1:
The favorable signal history is pre-recorded and stored on the server before the video call attempt. This preliminary action allows the terminal to quickly retrieve and check matching history without performing complex real-time analysis, thereby maintaining high matching precision while minimizing the time penalty for verification.

AI summary
A terminal includes a communication interface for receiving a plurality of profile information from a plurality of terminals, an input/output interface for receiving a first signal generated by a user of the terminal based on a certain profile information of the plurality of profile information, and a processor for checking whether the terminal has a history of receiving a second signal from a terminal that provided the certain profile information, and for attempting, by the terminal, a video call to the terminal that provided the certain profile information depending on a result of the check, and the input/output interface may display the certain profile information and video call waiting time during the video call waiting time after attempting the video call.
