Solution Overview

Problem

Public safety command centers face challenges in synthesizing and determining relevant discrepancies between audio and records data during incidents, often due to conflicting information from various sources, which can be time-sensitive and difficult to manually process.

Innovation Solution

A system and method utilizing an electronic computing device to compare audio data with records data, determine discrepancies, and generate a geographical map highlighting priority discrepancies, connected through a communication network that includes databases for public records and responder communications, allowing timely notification to responders and updating records for accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual synthesis of information from various sources is performed, then accuracy of information can be verified, but time consumption increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of information synthesis with an automated computer-based system that uses software to compare audio data from 911 calls with records data from databases, automatically identifying discrepancies without human intervention

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically performing the information synthesis and discrepancy detection functions that previously required human operators, with the computer autonomously comparing data sources and generating discrepancy reports

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If all discrepancies between audio data and records data are identified, then complete information accuracy is achieved, but complexity of processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by focusing computational resources on identifying and reporting only the most relevant discrepancies between audio and records data, rather than attempting to analyze every possible data point, thereby reducing processing complexity while maintaining accuracy for critical information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts and isolates specific discrepancy information from the broader data sets, separating identified conflicts into distinct reportable items that can be individually addressed, simplifying the overall processing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If manual synthesis of conflicting information is performed, then contextual understanding can be achieved, but productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation synthesis qualityVSAvoidinformation processing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual information synthesis with automated computer-based processing that rapidly compares audio data with records data, identifying conflicts and generating synthesis results at speeds far exceeding human capability while maintaining adequate quality for public safety applications

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

AI summary

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for determining priority discrepancies between audio data and records data. In one example, the system includes an electronic computing device. The electronic computing device compares audio data associated with a public safety incident to records data associated with the public safety incident, determines discrepancies between the audio data and the records data, and determines an organization and a type associated with the public safety incident. The electronic computing device also determines, based on the organization and the type, priority discrepancies included in the discrepancies and generates a geographical map that includes the priority discrepancies and that is configured for display on a display device.
