Venue Network Controller Session Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for managing meeting session content delivery in large conferences or meetings are cumbersome for remote attendees, as they require manual management of technical aspects and may face limitations in bandwidth and device capacity, leading to difficulties in navigating multiple sessions simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method for routing meeting session content in a venue based on device availability, which involves identifying sessions, determining available devices that meet connection requirements, associating devices with network slices, and dynamically adjusting bandwidth to ensure efficient content delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual management of technical aspects is used for meeting session content delivery, then device compatibility and connection control can be maintained, but system complexity and operational burden increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic device discovery, network slice identification, and connection establishment without requiring manual user intervention. The venue network controller autonomously manages the entire connection process, allowing users to simply select sessions while the system handles technical aspects automatically.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-establishes network slices and configures device associations before users need to access sessions. By preparing the network infrastructure in advance and maintaining ready-to-use device associations, the system eliminates the need for real-time manual configuration when users connect to sessions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sessions are managed simultaneously in a large venue, then session diversity and user choice increase, but network bandwidth consumption and device capacity requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The network is divided into multiple network slices, each dedicated to specific sessions or session groups. This segmentation allows simultaneous management of multiple sessions with isolated bandwidth allocation, preventing one session from consuming excessive resources and affecting others. Each network slice can be independently configured and managed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables a single device to associate with multiple network slices and participate in multiple sessions simultaneously. This multi-functionality allows devices to flexibly join different sessions as needed, maximizing resource utilization while supporting diverse session requirements without requiring dedicated infrastructure for each session.
3Reliability
If network bandwidth is allocated statically for session content delivery, then network stability and predictable performance are maintained, but bandwidth utilization efficiency decreases during varying session demands
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts network slice bandwidth allocation based on real-time session demands and device associations. When sessions gain or lose participants, the network controller automatically reallocates bandwidth resources accordingly, ensuring stable performance for active sessions while releasing unused capacity for other uses, thus achieving both reliability and efficiency.

AI summary
A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product route meeting sessions through a venue based on device availability. The method includes identifying a plurality of sessions in a venue network, where each session in the plurality of sessions comprises session data that is associated with a network slice. The network slice includes connection requirements. The method also includes receiving a connection request from a user, where the connection request includes a session in the plurality of sessions. The method further includes determining an available device to receive the session data, where the available device satisfies the connection requirements of the network slice. Lastly, the method includes associating the available device with the network slice, where the session data is transmitted to the available device.
