Network Source Identification via Audio Chimes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In voice-based computing environments, efficiently identifying the source of information is challenging due to limited access to interfaces and a limited number of available interfaces, which complicates information transmission and network source identification.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that mix audio signals by using a data processing system with a natural language processor, digital component selector, and synthesizer. This system receives input audio signals, parses them to identify requests, selects digital components, and matches identifiers with audio chimes stored on the client device, generating an action data structure to combine the digital component with an appropriate audio chime for transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If audio signals are transmitted to identify network sources in voice-based computing environments, then network source identification capability is improved, but bandwidth utilization increases and latency is introduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-loads audio chimes from multiple digital component provider devices into local memory before they are needed for response generation. This preliminary action ensures that when a response is generated, the corresponding audio chime is already available locally, eliminating the need to transmit audio chimes over the network at response time and thus reducing bandwidth utilization while maintaining network source identification capability
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an audio chime as an intermediary identifier that links the digital component provider device to the response. Instead of transmitting complex metadata or identifiers, a simple audio chime serves as a mediator that can be played to indicate the source, efficiently conveying network source information without requiring extensive data transmission
2Loss of information
If audio signals are transmitted to identify network sources, then network source identification is improved, but processing time and latency increase
Solution Approach 1:
Audio chimes are pre-loaded into local memory before being needed for response generation. This preliminary action eliminates the time required to fetch audio chimes over the network when a response is generated, significantly reducing latency while maintaining the ability to identify network sources through audio signals
Solution Approach 2:
The system extracts only the essential audio chime identifier from the digital component provider device and stores it locally, rather than transmitting or processing the entire digital component or complex metadata. This extraction approach minimizes processing time and latency while preserving network source identification capability
3Loss of information
If multiple digital component provider devices are accessed, then information completeness is improved, but device complexity and management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically manages the pre-loading of audio chimes from multiple digital component provider devices without requiring manual configuration or intervention. The system self-services by autonomously selecting, downloading, and storing appropriate audio chimes in local memory, simplifying device management while enabling access to multiple information sources
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a universal interface layer that handles multiple digital component provider devices through a common mechanism. By using a standardized approach to pre-loading and managing audio chimes from various sources, the system achieves information completeness from multiple providers without increasing apparent complexity for the user or operator
Data Source
AI summary
Network source identification via audio signals is provided. A system receives data packets with an input audio signal from a client device. The system identifies a request. The system selects a digital component provided by a digital component provider device. The system identifies audio chimes stored in memory of the client device. The system matches, based on a policy, an identifier of the digital component provider device to a first audio chime stored in the memory of the client device. The system determines, based on a characteristic of the first audio chime, a configuration to combine the digital component with the first audio chime. The system generates an action data structure with the digital component, an indication of the first audio chime, and the configuration. The system transmits the action data structure to the client device to cause the client device to generate an output audio signal.
