Solution Overview

Problem

Existing speech processing systems lack the ability to provide customized and context-aware responses to users, often using the same voice output for multiple users and lacking flexibility in adjusting to different contexts and user preferences.

Innovation Solution

A system that creates and utilizes system response configuration profiles, incorporating user feedback and context data to tailor the system's output attributes such as verbosity, formality, vocal tone, and emotion, adjusting these attributes based on user behavior and environmental factors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a speech processing system uses a single standardized response configuration for all users, then the system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but the adaptability to different user preferences and contexts deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts response configuration attributes (verbosity, formality, vocal tone, emotion) based on user feedback and context data, transitioning from a static standardized configuration to a dynamic adaptive configuration that evolves with user interactions and environmental factors

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes multiple response configuration parameters simultaneously (verbosity level, formality degree, vocal tone characteristics, emotional expression) to tailor outputs to different users and contexts, resolving the contradiction between standardized operation and customized adaptation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system collects and processes user feedback and context data to customize responses, then the adaptability and personalization are improved, but the device complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes response configuration profiles with defined attributes (verbosity, formality, vocal tone, emotion) that can be selectively applied based on user feedback, avoiding the need to create customization logic from scratch and reducing overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms that collect user responses and context data to automatically adjust configuration attributes, using the feedback loop to drive adaptive personalization without requiring complex manual configuration management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If the system provides highly customized responses tailored to individual users and contexts, then user satisfaction and interaction quality are improved, but the loss of time for processing and analyzing user data increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser satisfactionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary configuration setup by pre-defining response profiles with various attribute combinations, allowing rapid selection and application of appropriate configurations without extensive real-time analysis, thus reducing processing time while maintaining customization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A natural language processing system may use system response configuration data to determine customized output data forms when outputting data for a user. The system response configuration data may represent various output attributes the system may use when creating output data. The system may have a certain number of existing profiles where a profile is associated with certain settings for the system response configuration data/attributes. The system may also use various data such as context data, sentiment data, or the like to customize system response configuration data during a dialog. Other components, such as natural language generation (NLG), text-to-speech (TTS), or the like, may use the customized system response configuration data to determine the form, timing, etc. of output data to be presented to a user.
