Audio Message Transmission Status Verification via Text Comparison
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In VoIP-based communication sessions, users face delays in confirming the delivery of audio messages, as they rely on verbal acknowledgments, which are time-consuming and inefficient, especially in conference calls. Additionally, there is no clear method to determine if audio inputs are being correctly transmitted and received.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a method where an audio input is converted into a source audio message and a source text file, transmitted to a destination computing device, and then compared with a destination text file to determine the transmission status. This comparison generates a file similarity score, which indicates whether the audio message was successfully delivered.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If verbal acknowledgment is used to confirm audio message delivery, then users can verify transmission status, but communication efficiency decreases due to time-consuming back-and-forth interactions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an automatic feedback mechanism where the destination computing device sends an acknowledgment message back to the source device to confirm successful receipt of the audio message. This automated feedback loop eliminates the need for manual verbal confirmation while ensuring reliable transmission status verification, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary acknowledgment message as a mediator between the source and destination devices. This intermediary element automatically carries transmission status information without requiring direct user interaction, thereby improving communication efficiency while maintaining reliable verification.
2Measurement precision
If manual verification methods are used to determine audio transmission status, then transmission accuracy can be confirmed, but time is lost due to waiting for verbal confirmations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by automatically generating and sending the acknowledgment message immediately upon successful receipt of the audio message. This preliminary automated verification eliminates the need for time-consuming manual verification processes while maintaining accurate transmission status determination.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of manual verbal confirmation with an automated electronic acknowledgment mechanism. This substitution eliminates human reaction time and manual intervention delays while maintaining precise transmission status measurement through automated comparison of audio messages.
3Productivity
If automated acknowledgment messages are implemented, then communication efficiency improves, but system complexity increases due to additional protocols and processing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the acknowledgment function with the existing audio message transmission protocol. By combining these functions into a unified protocol framework, the system achieves automated verification without proportionally increasing complexity, as the acknowledgment mechanism leverages existing infrastructure rather than adding completely separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a universal acknowledgment mechanism that can handle multiple types of audio messages and transmission scenarios through a single standardized protocol. This multi-functional approach improves communication efficiency across different use cases while avoiding the complexity of implementing separate verification protocols for each message type.
Data Source
AI summary
Techniques for determining a status of exchange of audio messages between a source computing device and a destination computing device are described. In an example, an audio input is received from a user from a source computing device. A source audio message and a source text file are then generated based on the audio input. The source audio message is then sent to the destination computing device. A destination text file is then received from the source computing device, where the destination text file is generated based on a destination audio message received at the destination computing device, and where the destination audio message is received by the destination computing device corresponding to the source audio message. The source text file is then compared to the destination text file to determine a status of transmission of the source audio message to the destination computing device. An acknowledgement indicating the status of transmission of the source audio message to the destination computing device is then generated.
