Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems face scalability issues in onboarding network resources due to the need for customized interfaces, which are duplicative and computationally inefficient, limiting the expansion of computer systems and requiring tight integration with each resource.

Innovation Solution

A system that uses natural language processing to parse voice commands, establish sessions with content providers, and navigate digital components using trained interaction models, enabling interaction without specific integration between the system and the voice-based computing device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If customized interfaces are created for each network resource, then the system can interact with each resource effectively, but the system expansion is limited due to duplicative and computationally inefficient processes

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAbility to interact with network resourcesVSAvoidSystem expansion efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal session management system that enables a single interface to interact with multiple network resources (digital components, webpages, applications) without requiring customized interfaces for each resource. The system establishes sessions with content providers and uses generic navigation techniques to interact with various digital components, making the interface multi-functional and eliminating the need for resource-specific customizations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a session handler as an intermediary component that mediates between the user interface and network resources. This session management system acts as a broker, establishing and maintaining sessions with content providers and digital components, thereby enabling efficient interaction without direct customization for each resource.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If customized interfaces are created for each network resource, then specific resource requirements are met, but computing resources such as bandwidth, time, or electrical power are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveResource-specific interaction capabilityVSAvoidComputing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs a universal session management architecture that serves multiple network resources through a single interface, eliminating the need to create and maintain separate customized interfaces for each resource. This multi-functional approach reduces redundant computation and minimizes energy consumption while maintaining the ability to interact with diverse resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the functionality of multiple resource-specific interfaces into a single unified session management system. By combining session establishment, maintenance, and termination operations for multiple resources into one system, the patent eliminates duplicative processing and reduces overall computing resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If tight integration is implemented between the system and each network resource, then interaction reliability is improved, but the complexity of onboarding increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveInteraction reliabilityVSAvoidOnboarding complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The session handler serves as an intermediary that manages interactions with multiple network resources through standardized session protocols, reducing onboarding complexity while maintaining reliable interactions. The session management layer abstracts the complexity of resource-specific integration details.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary session establishment and configuration before actual resource interactions occur. By pre-configuring sessions with content providers and digital components, the system ensures reliable interactions are ready when needed, while the session management overhead is incurred once rather than repeatedly for each interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
