Web-Based Video Call Initiation via Enabling Code
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video call communication systems lack the ability to initiate and participate in real-time video calls between multiple users from any website, without requiring users to create accounts on proprietary platforms or download specific software, and do not allow for personalized video identities that enable followers to initiate calls with users.
Innovation Solution
A system that enables video calls from any webpage by generating a video call enabling code, allowing users to initiate and join calls directly from their personalized profile pages, with features like real-time content recognition, recording, and customizable privacy settings, enabling users to control participation and share calls with followers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users create accounts on proprietary communication platforms to initiate video calls, then the system can provide structured communication services, but users cannot use their existing website presence as a personalized video identity and must download specific software
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables any website to function as a video call initiation point by embedding a video call button that links to the video calling service. This allows websites to serve dual purposes: both as information platforms and as communication initiators, eliminating the need for separate proprietary software installations while maintaining structured communication services.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a web-based intermediary layer that bridges the gap between website visitors and the video calling system. The video call button on websites acts as this intermediary, allowing users to initiate calls through their existing web presence without requiring direct integration with proprietary communication platforms or additional software downloads.
2Ease of operation
If contact details are collected by companies for communication services, then the system can facilitate contact between visitors and representatives, but the details are not helpful for visual identification during in-person interaction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a visual copy of the user's identity by displaying their name and profile information on the video call interface. This visual copy allows participants to identify each other during the call, transforming the abstract contact details into a recognizable visual identity that facilitates both contact and personal recognition.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs visual display elements that present user identity information in a visually distinguishable manner on the video call interface. The display of names, avatars, and profile information provides visual differentiation between participants, enabling easy identification during the interaction without requiring additional contact detail exchange.
3Reliability
If proprietary communication sources are used for video calls, then the system can provide dedicated communication services, but users cannot allow followers or affiliates to join calls without creating new accounts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic participant management system that allows the number and identity of participants to change during the call. The initiator can dynamically add followers and affiliates to the call without requiring them to create new accounts, while the system maintains stable communication infrastructure throughout the evolving participant list.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a nested structure where followers and affiliates can join the video call through a hierarchical invitation system. Existing participants can invite additional users who join through the established call infrastructure, allowing the participant group to expand nested within the stable communication framework without disrupting the core service reliability.
4Device complexity
If video call systems require users to connect to a single computing device, then the system can manage connections centrally, but multiple users cannot engage in video calls independently from their respective devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the video call connection management into independent user-specific connections rather than requiring a single centralized device. Each participant can initiate and join calls from their own device through the web interface, with the system managing multiple concurrent connections independently, allowing multi-device participation without overwhelming complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
The present invention is a method and system for establishing a video call between two or more persons through two or more computer devices and/or mobile devices. The present invention can be utilized to enable any website to be video call enabled, so that a video call can be initiated from any website. During the call the present invention may recognize words, phrases, key topics or other content of the video call discussion in real time or virtually real time, and disseminate such information to the participants in the call as well as to other followers, friends or other affiliates of persons engaged in the video call.
