Transmission Management System for Videoconference Scheduling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current data transmission management systems struggle to allow users to freely change the start or end time of videoconferences while maintaining scheduled communication, as they often start or end communication irrespective of scheduled information, leading to inconsistencies between request and counterpart transmission terminals.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that generate and transmit reservation information based on scheduled start times for both transmission terminals, enabling the management system to coordinate communication start requests and ensure alignment with scheduled information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the management server allows users to freely change the start or end time of conferences without requiring changes to scheduled information, then user flexibility is improved, but communication may be started or ended irrespective of scheduled information, causing inconsistency between transmission terminals
Solution Approach 1:
The management server generates reservation information in advance based on scheduled information before communication actually occurs. This preliminary generation of reservation information ensures that both the request transmission terminal and counterpart transmission terminal have consistent scheduled information to reference, preventing the inconsistency that would otherwise occur when users freely change conference times
Solution Approach 2:
The management server acts as an intermediary between the scheduled information and the actual communication execution. It generates and distributes reservation information to both transmission terminals, ensuring they both have consistent information about the scheduled communication times, while still allowing users to request communication outside scheduled times
2Ease of operation
If the management system starts communication between request transmission terminal and counterpart transmission terminal in response to a request, then responsiveness to user requests is improved, but the counterpart transmission terminal may not be able to start communication with other transmission terminals based on scheduled information
Solution Approach 1:
The management server generates reservation information in advance based on scheduled information before communication actually occurs. This preliminary generation ensures that when a communication start request is received, the management server can check the reservation information to determine if the counterpart terminal is already committed to another scheduled communication, thus maintaining reliability while still responding to requests
Data Source
AI summary
An apparatus, system, and method of managing data transmission are provided, each of which is capable of generating reservation information regarding communication reserved for at least one of a first transmission terminal and a second transmission terminal, in response to a communication start request that requests to start communication between the first transmission terminal and the second transmission terminal. The reservation information is generated, for example, based on first time information indicating the time at which communication reserved for the first transmission terminal is scheduled to start, and second time information indicating the time at which communication reserved for the second transmission terminal is scheduled to start. The reservation information is transmitted to the first transmission terminal. The data transmission management method may be implemented in the form of a program stored in a non-transitory recording medium.
