The iMeetingPlat™ conference system framework platform is iweex ® self-developed technology platform. Through a series of protocols, the communication framework between each unit and module of the conference system is reconstructed, thereby achieving modular independence and coordinated processing of the conference system. Achieve true reliable integration of wired & wireless, as well as reliable and rapid iterative upgrades.

Conference systems are divided into two categories, one is network conference system, based on TCP/IP protocol; the other is on-site amplified conference system, generally based on 485 bus (wired) or 500~600M, 2.4G wireless communication on the agreement. The present invention is directed to on-site amplification conference systems, including wired conference systems, wireless conference systems, and wired and wireless integrated conference systems.


        There are currently many on-site conference system manufacturers, many of which use different chips to build hardware, and then open their own software to realize all software functions, including conference control functions, voice functions, UI functions, etc. There are the following issues and challenges:

1) On-site conference systems are relatively complex, and many manufacturers are unable to develop stable products independently, mainly because they are incapable of developing internal communication software.

2) Because there is no open unified platform, manufacturers cannot achieve joint development. Equipment manufacturers must develop a complete set of software. In fact, the software part similar to the UI is not the core part and can be customized for development.

3) If the on-site conference system does not implement a modular software architecture, it will be very complicated when the product switches chips, especially in the process of chip localization, which is prone to errors.


The "iMeetingPlat™" architecture platform includes a set of communication architecture methods within the system and communication protocol content of four specific interfaces.  

A1-1

Wireless control communication interface

Conference host & wireless conference terminal, wireless management channel between the two MCU

Realize the control and management functions of the wireless conference system, such as the terminal's speech priority, conference speech mode, etc.

A1-2

Wireless serial control interface

1. Inside the conference host, between the main control MCU and the wireless management channel MCU.

2. Inside the wireless terminal, between the main control MCU and the wireless management channel MCU.


Realize the control and management functions of the wireless conference system, such as the terminal's speech priority, conference speech mode, etc.

A2-1

Wireless voice communication interface

Conference host & wireless conference terminal, between the two wireless audio chips.

Realize wireless communication of voice.

A2-2

Wireless voice internal interface

1. Inside the conference host, between the main control MCU and the wireless audio chip.

2. Inside the wireless terminal, between the main control MCU and the wireless audio chip.


Realize wireless communication of voice.

B1

Wired control communication interface

Conference host & wired conference terminal, between the host main control MCU and the wired terminal MCU.

Realize the control and management functions of the wired conference system, such as terminal speech priority, conference speech mode, etc.

B2

Wired voice communication interface

Conference host & wired conference terminal, between the host main control MCU and the wired terminal MCU.

Realize wired communication of voice.

C1

UI communication interface

1. Between the main control MCU of the conference host and the display MCU.

2. Between the wireless conference terminal main control MCU and the display MCU.

3. Between the wired conference terminal main control MCU and the display MCU.


Realize UI functions, interface display, and various functions of human-machine control.


      


The most direct benefits of the ODM solution using the "iMeetingPlat™" conference system framework platform are:


Customers can design a UI solution that suits their own brand style and complete UI development by themselves. Realize a UI style product that is completely different from the previous industrial computer style, bringing users the user experience of mobile APP & innovative control experience.



"iMeetingPlat™" has been successfully used in the self-developed XDC230 series wired and wireless converged digital conference system products, as well as ODM wireless digital conference system products of several major brands in the industry.

 iweex® announced the invention patent content of "iMeetingPlat™", follows the GPL open source agreement, and provides free technical solutions to the industry.
