Solution Overview

Problem

Current video conferencing systems require users to create meetings and send invitations every time they want to communicate, which is time-consuming and adds unnecessary steps.

Innovation Solution

A secured video conferencing system that uses virtual rooms with unique addresses, allowing users to access a virtual lounge and establish connections without the need for constant meeting creation, using a server to manage access and connections between users.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users create a meeting and send invites every time they wish to communicate digitally, then secure communication can be established, but additional steps and time are required for setup

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure communicationVSAvoidsetup time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates persistent virtual rooms in advance that remain available for future use. Users pre-configure their virtual rooms with security settings and access controls, eliminating the need to create meetings repeatedly. The virtual room serves as a pre-prepared communication space that can be activated immediately when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

A single virtual room serves multiple communication purposes and can be reused across different sessions and users. The virtual room acts as a universal communication endpoint that supports various types of digital communication (video, audio, data sharing) without requiring separate meeting creations for each purpose.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If users create a meeting every time they wish to communicate, then communication can be initiated, but the process becomes complex with multiple steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication initiationVSAvoidnumber of steps
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts the complex meeting creation process from the communication initiation flow. Instead of requiring users to go through meeting creation, invite sending, and participant management steps, the system provides direct access to pre-configured virtual rooms through simple virtual addresses, separating the setup complexity from the access simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The virtual room system allows users to access communication spaces autonomously using virtual addresses without requiring the host to manually create meetings or send invites each time. The persistent virtual room structure enables self-service access, reducing the number of steps users must follow to initiate communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A system for secured video conferencing via virtual rooms, wherein the system comprises a first data processing system associated with a first user, wherein the first data processing system comprises a first processor module, configured to create a virtual room and a virtual lounge associated with the virtual room and create a unique virtual address for the virtual room created for the first user. The system further includes a second data processing system associated with a second user which is configured to receive the unique virtual address associated with the virtual room from the second user. The system further includes a server, wherein the server may be configured to host the virtual room created by the first data processing system and establish a secured connection between the first data processing system and the second data processing system when requested by the second user.
