PATENTEM is an electronic meeting system for meetings and voting, produced and developed by Czech company Sterkonix. PATENTEM clients exist for both mobile (iOS, Android, Windows Phone) and desktop systems (Linux, Windows, macOS).
History
PATENTEM was launched in March 2015. At the beginning of 2016, PATENTEM was reported to be successfully implemented[1] in the Committee on State Construction, Regional Policy and Local Self-Government of Ukraine and the Coordination Board of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.[2]
System components
PATENTEM electronic meeting system consists of the following components:
- amplified loud speakers
- touch screens
- microphones
- delegates’ workstations
- tribune (if needed)
- participant’s card readers with buttons for voting
- cameras with auto-tracking
Features
Messaging
PATENTEM messaging system can be accessed on any of the user's connected devices regardless of whether it's a mobile phone, tablet, or workstation at a meeting. System users can send messages to other users individually or to groups of up to 400 meeting participants. Sent messages can be deleted or edited on both sides and are stored for 24 hours for the purpose of availability to edit or clear them if mistakenly sent. Users can create, edit, leave, or delete groups for message exchange.
Broadcasting
"Live" module allows the Operator and Chairman to provide HD online broadcast of a meeting participant's speech and their presentation materials. The speaker's presentation with accompanying information, time of speech, and presentation materials are displayed simultaneously on participant's workstation screens, information panels in the hall, and on the organization's official website.
Voting
PATENTEM system allows conducting the process of voting in three different ways: open, closed, and secret. Every type can be customized to address the needs of each meeting through "Settings" section. Such customization may include setting up vote weight, a formula for calculating results, etc. Participants of the meeting are given an option to vote using either buttons on delegates' workstations or touchscreens.
Integration capabilities
Apart from basic EMS functional capabilities, PATENTEM allows full integration with roughly all conference systems, use of Active Directory for system users and DCN CCU2 for microphone management.
Advantages
As any electronic meeting system in general and an independent product itself, PATENTEM has its unique advantages:[3]
- Anonymity – due to the anonymity mode of most EMS systems, meeting participants are more secure and feel no longer vulnerable to being thought of as incompetent or foolish for their comments during issue discussion.
- Group synergy – conducting a meeting using an EMS system has a positive effect on a decision-making process, since participants tend to consider themselves as a united group, rather than individuals.
- Electronic records – thanks to automated record keeping, participants of the meeting no longer need to make notes, remember comments, or fear that they may not hear or understand something mentioned during the meeting. The meeting log is always accessible for participants during and even after the conference or meeting is over (log can be published on the organization's website).
- Time saving - it has been proven that automated meetings are significantly faster in terms of time, and participants need less time to discuss and conclude decisions.
- Among other factors that positively speak in favor of EMS systems are higher group satisfaction, support meetings with a huge number of participants, develop technical skills, etc.
