Simple video communication platform
A system offering simplified bi-directional video communication between a user and a device of a pre-configured one or more persons of interest includes a touch display with a pictorial representation of each of the one or more persons of interest. The touch display is configured to establish the bi-directional video communication with a selected one of said persons of interest in response to a single touch of the pictorial representation of the selected one of the persons of interest. In one implementation, the system includes a monitoring device positioned to monitor one or more biometric parameters of the user, and saving the biometric data on a server for processing.
1. A system offering one-touch bi-directional video communication between a user of a device and a pre-configured one or more persons of interest, said system comprising:
a touch display with a fixed pictorial representation of each of the one or more persons of interest;
a monitoring device positioned to monitor one or more biometric parameters of the user, said monitoring device in communication with said touch display, wherein said touch display transmits said biometric parameters to a database for processing by one or more of said persons of interest;
wherein said touch display is configured to establish said bi-directional video communication with a selected one of said persons of interest in response to a single touch of the fixed pictorial representation of said selected one of said persons of interest.
2. The system of claim 1 further comprising:
a signaling component based on Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol, and
a video communication component based on Real-Time Communication (RTC).
3. The system of claim 1 further comprising:
wireless connectivity between said touch display and said monitoring device.
4. The system of claim 3 wherein said wireless connectivity is established using one or more of Bluetooth, Zigbee and WIFI.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein said fixed pictorial representations is programmed by a system administrator.
6. A method for establishing simplified bi-directional video communication between a user and of a device of and a pre-configured one or more persons of interest, said method comprising:
displaying, via a touch display, a fixed pictorial representation of each of the one or more persons of interest;
monitoring, via a monitoring device, one or more biometric parameters of the user;
transmitting, via the monitoring device, said biometric parameters to the touch display;
transmitting, via the touch display said biometric parameters to a database for processing by one or more of said persons of interest;
establishing said bi-directional video communication with a selected one of said persons of interest in response to a single touch of the fixed pictorial representation of said selected one of said persons of interest.
7. The method of claim 6 further comprising:
configuring, by a system administrator, said fixed pictorial representations.
8. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
signaling a request to establish the bi-directional video communication using a Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol, and
in response to said signalling, enabling the bi-directional video communication using a Real-Time Communication (RTC) protocol.
