Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for capturing and recording conversations are inefficient and prone to human error, leading to inaccurate information extraction and distraction from the conversation.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for capturing, processing, and rendering context-aware moment-associating elements, such as conversations, by segmenting audio-form conversations, assigning speaker labels, and generating synchronized transcriptions for live broadcasting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If conventional note-taking is performed during a conversation, then information can be recorded, but the note-taker becomes distracted from the conversation and accuracy decreases due to human error

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation extraction accuracyVSAvoidnote-taker distraction
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical human note-taking process with an automated speech recognition system that uses audio processing and natural language processing algorithms to capture and transcribe conversation content, eliminating human distraction while maintaining or improving accuracy

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically processing and transcribing conversations without requiring human intervention for note-taking, allowing participants to fully engage in the conversation while the system independently handles information extraction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If automated speech recognition is implemented for real-time transcription, then information extraction accuracy improves, but system complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetranscription accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the speech processing task into distinct modules including audio pre-processing, feature extraction, acoustic modeling, language modeling, and text decoding, allowing each component to be optimized independently and managed separately to reduce overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces intermediary components such as acoustic models and language models that act as mediators between raw audio input and final transcription output, breaking down the complex recognition task into manageable stages with intermediate representations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of time

If real-time processing is performed during live broadcasting, then information is available immediately, but processing speed and computational resources are challenged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation availability timeVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing audio data and preparing computational models before actual transcription is needed, allowing real-time processing to operate on pre-prepared data structures and reducing computational latency during live broadcasting

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements periodic processing where transcription is updated at regular intervals or when specific triggers occur, balancing the need for real-time information availability with computational resource constraints by processing in discrete cycles rather than continuous operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

Computer-implemented method and system for processing and broadcasting one or more moment-associating elements. For example, the computer-implemented method includes granting subscription permission to one or more subscribers; receiving the one or more moment-associating elements; transforming the one or more moment-associating elements into one or more pieces of moment-associating information; and transmitting at least one piece of the one or more pieces of moment-associating information to the one or more subscribers. In certain examples, transforming the one or more moment-associating elements includes: segmenting the one or more moment-associating elements into a plurality of moment-associating segments; assigning a segment speaker for each segment of the plurality of moment-associating segments; transcribing the plurality of moment-associating segments into a plurality of transcribed segments; and generating the one or more pieces of moment-associating information based the plurality of transcribed segments and the segment speaker assigned for each segment of the plurality of moment-associating segments.
