Solution Overview

Problem

Existing speech processing systems face challenges in seamlessly integrating communication between users of different communication systems, leading to limitations in sending messages and establishing calls across disparate platforms.

Innovation Solution

The system enables communication between users of different communication systems by allowing users to create profiles, import contact lists, and integrate accounts from multiple communication systems, thereby facilitating one-way and two-way communication sessions across different platforms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If speech processing systems integrate multiple communication systems, then interoperability and communication capability across platforms are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveinteroperabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a communication system that acts as an intermediary between different communication platforms. The system receives requests from first communication system users, determines appropriate second communication systems, and facilitates cross-platform communication through this mediating layer, thereby improving interoperability while managing complexity through centralized coordination

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The communication system is designed to handle multiple communication systems and protocols through a universal interface. By creating profiles that can associate contacts across different communication systems and enabling the system to route communications dynamically, it achieves multi-functionality that improves adaptability without requiring separate specialized systems for each communication platform

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system integrates accounts from multiple communication systems, then communication functionality across platforms is improved, but processing time and system resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication functionalityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-integrating communication system accounts and importing contact lists during profile creation. By establishing these connections and associations in advance, the system reduces processing time during actual communication events, as the infrastructure for cross-platform communication is already in place and configured

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts its processing based on the integration state of communication systems. Once accounts are integrated and contacts are imported, the system optimizes subsequent communication routing and processing, reducing time requirements for repeated operations while maintaining enhanced communication functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Techniques for using establishing a communication session using a third-party (3P) communications service are described. When a request is received to integrate the 3P service with a first-party (1P) service, a username and password associated with the 3P service are sent to it, and a contact list associated with the 3P service is received in return. When a user of a first device sends a request to communicate with a recipient, if the recipient is represented in the 3P contact list, the system sends a request to the second communication system to establish a communication session.
