Dynamic Participant Device Management for Hosting a Teleconference - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240097926 titled 'Dynamic Participant Device Management for Hosting a Teleconference
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for hosting a teleconference where participants can transition between non-interactive and interactive slots based on activity levels.
- Receiving a request from a participant device to switch slots
- Moving the device to a buffer slot
- Identifying the longest inactive device in an interactive slot
- Removing the inactive device and moving the new participant to that slot
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in various teleconferencing platforms to optimize participant engagement and interaction during calls.
Problems Solved
1. Efficiently managing participant slots in a teleconference 2. Ensuring active participation and engagement from all participants
Benefits
1. Improved teleconference experience for all participants 2. Seamless transition between interactive and non-interactive slots 3. Optimal use of available slots based on participant activity levels
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Participant Engagement in Teleconferencing Platforms"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to teleconferencing systems that optimize participant engagement and slot management, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle potential conflicts between participants requesting slot transitions simultaneously?
The abstract does not address how the system resolves conflicts if multiple participants request slot transitions at the same time.
What measures are in place to prevent unauthorized participants from accessing interactive slots?
The abstract does not mention any security measures to prevent unauthorized access to interactive slots during the teleconference.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods for hosting a teleconference are disclosed herein. the method can include receiving, by a server, a request from a connected participant device to transition from a non-interactive slot to an interactive slot of the teleconference and moving, by the server, the connected participant device from the non-interactive slot to a buffer slot. the method can also include determining, by the server, a longest-inactive participant device among one or more participant devices currently occupying interactive slots; removing, by the server, the longest-inactive participant device from an associated interactive slot; and moving, by the server, the connected participant device from the buffer slot to the associated interactive slot.
