Application: Communication management server, communication system, and method for managing communication (Patent ID: US20240112422A1)

The patent filed by Ricoh Co Ltd. describes a communication management server that receives real space device position information from a mobile device and a first communication terminal, generates a virtual space image based on this information, and establishes voice communication between the first communication terminal and a second communication terminal. The server can also establish video communication between the mobile device and the second communication terminal and allows for dedicated voice communication between multiple communication terminals based on user interactions with the virtual space image.

Furthermore, the patent details a method for managing communication that involves generating a virtual space image with icons representing different devices and terminals, establishing voice communication between specific terminals, and allowing users to change associations between icons to switch communication channels. This method enables seamless communication management in both real and virtual spaces, facilitating interactions between various communication devices and terminals based on their positions and user preferences.
