Solution Overview

Problem

Users face challenges in efficiently editing notes when they need to briefly deviate from dictating information for one section to include related information for another section, requiring manual indication of amendment locations.

Innovation Solution

A system that analyzes audio inputs to distinguish between primary and deviant spoken information, determining the relevant section for the deviant information and implementing amendments accordingly, allowing users to seamlessly deviate and resume dictation without manual intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users manually indicate where amendments should occur in notes, then editing precision is maintained, but time consumption increases and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenote editing efficiencyVSAvoidtime for manual indication
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically analyzing audio inputs, determining section relevance, and implementing amendments without requiring manual user intervention. The amendment component autonomously processes the audio information, identifies where deviant spoken input belongs, and executes the amendment, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring continuous user direction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual indication process with an automated computational system. Instead of users manually indicating amendment locations, the system uses audio information analysis and automated determination processes to identify and execute amendments, substituting human manual operations with automated mechanical/electronic processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If users continuously switch between sections while dictating, then information completeness is improved, but operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility to switch sectionsVSAvoidsystem complexity for tracking sections
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by maintaining a current section indicator that tracks which section is currently being amended. This preliminary tracking structure is established before the dictation process begins, allowing the system to seamlessly handle section switches without requiring complex real-time decision-making during user input.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The amendment component acts as an intermediary between the audio information and the note sections. It receives audio inputs, determines relevance to various sections, and mediates the switching between sections automatically. This intermediary layer simplifies the overall system complexity by centralizing the section management logic in a dedicated component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If the system automatically determines section relevance for deviant information, then manual intervention is eliminated, but analysis complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of note editingVSAvoiddifficulty of determining section relevance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback by analyzing the audio information and determining its relevance to different note sections based on predefined criteria and patterns. The amendment component receives feedback from the audio analysis process and adjusts its determination of section relevance accordingly, allowing automated operation while managing analysis complexity through structured feedback mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Systems and methods to briefly deviate from and resume back to amending a section of a note are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: obtain audio information representing sound captured by an audio section of a client computing platform, such sound including speech from a user associated with the client computing platform; effectuate presentation of a graphical user interface that includes sections of the note; analyze the audio information to determine which individual ones of the spoken inputs are the primary spoken input or the deviant spoken input; determine, based on analysis, which section of the note to which the deviant spoken input is related; alternately amend, based on the determination, sections of the note by deviating from one section to another section and returning back to the one section for continued population; and effectuate, via the user interface, presentation of the alternating amendments to the sections of the note.
