Virtual Collaboration Media Frame Capture and Redelivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In virtual collaboration environments, interruptions in media streaming, such as video or audio, can lead to incomplete and incorrect perception of information, especially in critical interactions where every moment matters, due to poor network connections or low bandwidth issues.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that detect interruptions, capture missing media frames, and redeliver them with context, allowing users to view or hear the missed content in near-real-time by storing content on the sender's side and retrieving it from other devices that did not experience interference, with optional features for configuring the context duration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If media streaming is performed in virtual collaboration, then information delivery is achieved, but interruptions occur due to network interference
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting interference conditions and capturing missing media frames before the streaming session ends. The processor continuously monitors for interruptions and pre-captures any lost content, making it available for later redelivery to ensure complete information transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism that acts as a buffer between the media source and the receiver. When interference is detected, the intermediary captures the missing frames and redelivers them separately, mediating the transmission to ensure complete information delivery despite network interruptions.
2Productivity
If media streaming continues during interference, then collaboration is maintained, but information completeness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by generating an interference report that provides information about detected interruptions. This feedback loop allows the system to identify missing content and trigger the capture and redelivery of those frames, ensuring information completeness while maintaining collaboration continuity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary detection of interference conditions and pre-captures missing frames before they become permanent losses. By acting in advance during the streaming session, the system ensures that complete information is available for redelivery without interrupting the overall collaboration flow.
3Reliability
If interference detection is implemented, then missing frames can be captured, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies self-service by using the existing media streaming infrastructure to detect interference and identify missing frames. Rather than requiring complex external monitoring equipment, the system leverages its own streaming data to detect interruptions and trigger capture operations, reducing overall system complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
A processor may establish a virtual collaboration between two or more users. The processor may determine whether there is an interference with the virtual collaboration. The processor may maintain the virtual collaboration. The processor may generate an interference report associated with the interference. The processor may provide the interference report to at least one of the two or more users.
