Virtual Private Meeting Room Persistent Data Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing collaboration systems face issues such as session information loss after meetings, requirement of distinct IDs for different media types, inability to connect from multiple devices, and inefficient resource allocation, leading to suboptimal user experience and functionality.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for multi-user conferences that provide a unique user ID for seamless device integration, persistent virtual private meeting rooms for data storage, dynamic resource allocation, and simultaneous multi-device connectivity, allowing users to access and edit recorded meeting data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If session information is stored temporarily in existing systems, then memory usage is reduced, but session information is lost after a certain time
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by allocating resources in advance for scheduled meetings and proactively notifying participants before the meeting starts. This allows the system to prepare storage and computational resources beforehand, enabling persistent storage of session information without continuous high memory usage during idle periods.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the state of session information from temporary volatile storage to persistent storage with extended retention. Meeting records, transcripts, and associated data are stored with persistent identifiers that maintain them indefinitely or until explicitly deleted, transforming the temporal parameter from short-term to long-term storage.
2Ease of operation
If distinct Conference ID and user ID are required for different media types, then session management is simplified, but user complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a universal user ID that functions across all media types (telephone, computer, other devices). The same user ID can be used to initiate and join meetings regardless of the communication medium, eliminating the need for separate IDs for different platforms and reducing user complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges the functions of multiple IDs (Conference ID, user ID for different media types) into a single unified user ID system. This consolidation allows one ID to serve multiple purposes across different communication channels, simplifying both user management and session management.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a user connects from multiple devices, then user accessibility is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables a single user ID to function across multiple devices simultaneously. Users can initiate meetings from one device and join from another, or participate from multiple devices at once, with the system automatically managing the connections through the universal ID without requiring complex device-specific configurations.
4Reliability
If resources are allocated in advance, then resource availability is ensured, but resource efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary resource allocation only for scheduled meetings with confirmed participants, rather than continuously pre-allocating resources. Resources are reserved in advance for specific time slots and released when not needed, ensuring availability when required while improving overall efficiency by avoiding continuous resource occupation.
Data Source
AI summary
A conference session is established. Different unique identifications and persistent dedicated virtual private network conference rooms are assigned to different recipients. A conference session using one of the persistent dedicated virtual private network conference rooms assigned to a recipient is established using a communication device with a processor and memory and in response to an instruction from the recipient assigned the persistent dedicated virtual private network conference room. A network resource is allocated to the conference session established, based on a participant in the conference session logging in to the conference session using one of the unique identifications.
