Cloud Mediator for Voice-Controlled Mobile Device Actions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current solutions lack a centralized mechanism for interfacing cognitive devices with mobile devices to perform specific user requests, limiting the types of actions that can be controlled via voice commands and creating fractured communication processes.
Innovation Solution
A system that enables a cognitive device to receive natural language requests, process them into queries, and transmit these queries to a cloud-based computing environment, which then processes and executes the queries on a mobile device, allowing users to control mobile device functions such as sending SMS messages, emails, making calls, and using navigation services through voice commands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a centralized mechanism is implemented to interface cognitive devices with mobile devices, then the versatility and ease of operation are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cloud-based computing environment as an intermediary between the cognitive device and the mobile device. This intermediary receives queries from the cognitive device, processes them, and executes actions on the mobile device, thereby enabling versatile voice-controlled operations without requiring direct complex integration between the devices themselves.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables a single cognitive device to control multiple types of mobile device functions (SMS, email, calls, navigation) through a universal query processing mechanism. The cloud-based system handles diverse action types through a standardized interface, allowing one voice-activated device to perform many different tasks across various mobile device functions.
2Ease of operation
If a centralized mechanism is implemented to interface cognitive devices with mobile devices, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cloud-based computing environment serves as a mediator that translates simple voice commands from the cognitive device into complex action queries that can be executed on the mobile device. This intermediary handles the complexity of query processing and action execution, allowing users to interact with mobile device functions through simple voice commands without needing to understand the underlying complexity.
3Ease of operation
If direct mobile device interaction is eliminated in favor of voice commands, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability may worsen due to indirect communication
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the cognitive device receives query result information from the mobile device through the cloud-based computing environment. This feedback loop allows the system to confirm that actions were executed successfully and to provide results to the user, thereby maintaining reliability in the indirect voice-command interaction model.
