Cloud Search Intermediary for Voice Query Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Service providers face difficulties in implementing voice-enabled search functionality for their databases due to the complexity and cost of conventional search infrastructure, which they often do not own or have access to.
Innovation Solution
A cloud-based system that receives databases from service providers, processes search queries, including voice input, and transmits relevant search results to end users, allowing service providers to utilize cloud computing resources for search functionality without investing in infrastructure or technology development.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If service providers implement conventional search infrastructure, then search functionality can be provided, but infrastructure complexity and cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cloud-based search service as an intermediary between service providers and end users. This intermediary handles all search processing, indexing, and result generation centrally, allowing service providers to offer search functionality without maintaining complex search infrastructure. The cloud service mediates the search process by receiving queries from mobile devices, processing them against stored databases, and returning results.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the complex search infrastructure from the service provider's environment and relocates it to a centralized cloud-based system. By taking out the search engine, indexing mechanisms, and processing capabilities from individual service provider systems, the solution allows service providers to offer search functionality while the actual complex infrastructure is owned and maintained by the cloud service provider.
2Adaptability or versatility
If service providers develop proprietary search technology, then customized search functionality is achieved, but development cost and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables service providers to upload their own databases to the cloud system, allowing them to maintain control over their data and customize search results without developing proprietary search technology. The system provides self-service capabilities where service providers can configure their databases, select which fields to search, and control result presentation through simple upload and configuration processes rather than complex development efforts.
3Productivity
If voice-enabled search is implemented, then user engagement improves, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional text-based search interfaces with voice-based search capability. Users can speak their search queries naturally instead of typing, and the system processes the voice input through speech recognition to convert it into searchable text. This substitution of mechanical typing with natural voice input significantly improves user engagement while the cloud-based processing handles the complexity of voice recognition and processing.
