Unified Communication Platform for Event Visibility and Collaboration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing internet-based communication tools fail to disseminate information to a broad audience and do not provide a comprehensive overview of upcoming or previous events and meetings, leading to inefficiencies in user interaction and missed opportunities for connection.
Innovation Solution
A cloud-based communication system that allows users to share information across profiles and virtual spaces, enabling simultaneous dissemination to a larger audience and providing a centralized view of event schedules, including past, current, and future events, through a network of computing nodes and user devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If information is shared through traditional communication tools, then communication between users is enabled, but information dissemination is limited to narrow audiences and multiple tools are required to reach broader audiences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple communication tools and information channels into a single unified platform. Users can share information through one interface that automatically distributes it across multiple channels (direct messages, group chats, feeds, emails) eliminating the need to use separate tools for different communication purposes.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication tool is designed with multi-functionality to serve various communication needs within a single system. It can perform direct messaging, group communication, public posting, email integration, and event management all through one platform, making it universally applicable for different types of information dissemination.
2Loss of information
If users rely on individual calendar tools, then personal event tracking is possible, but comprehensive overview of all events and meetings is not provided
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple individual calendar systems into a unified event view. The platform aggregates events from different users, groups, and sources into a single comprehensive calendar interface, allowing users to see all events and meetings across the organization without switching between multiple calendar tools.
Solution Approach 2:
The platform acts as an intermediary between individual calendar systems and users. It receives event data from various sources, processes and standardizes the information, then presents it through a unified interface that provides comprehensive event visibility while maintaining ease of access.
3Productivity
If traditional communication platforms are used, then basic text and image sharing is enabled, but opportunities for user connection and collaboration are missed
Solution Approach 1:
The platform incorporates feedback mechanisms that analyze user interactions, communication patterns, and collaboration behaviors to identify and suggest relevant connections. The system provides feedback about potential collaborators, recommended groups, and relevant events based on user activity, thereby creating opportunities for connection that users might otherwise miss.

AI summary
The present disclosure describes techniques for facilitating a collaborative work communication environment. The techniques comprise maintaining in at least one database information about a plurality of virtual spaces via which a plurality of users share information; causing representations corresponding to the plurality of virtual spaces to be displayed on a first computing device associated with a first user; sending information associated with at least one virtual room among the plurality of virtual spaces to the first computing device, wherein the information comprises information indicative of at least one event; and causing at least one portion of the information indicative of the at least one event to be displayed in at least one representation corresponding to the at least one virtual space on the first computing, wherein the at least one portion of the information comprises at least one of a time associated with the at least one event, information about users associated with the at least one virtual space, or information about at least one sub-channel associated with the at least one virtual space.
