Solution Overview

Problem

Conversational systems often provide limited and unengaging responses to search queries, typically consisting of simple acknowledgments or text-to-speech conversions of search results, failing to offer relevant and engaging interactions with users.

Innovation Solution

Systems and methods for inserting dialogue metadata into query responses, utilizing natural language processing to identify and integrate relevant portions of dialogue from content items based on query types, parts of speech, and grammatical compatibility, and modifying dialogue as needed to ensure grammatical correctness and relevance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If simple acknowledgments or text-to-speech conversions are used for query responses, then system complexity is reduced, but user engagement and response quality deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments dialogue from multiple content items into discrete portions with associated metadata, allowing selective insertion into responses. This segmentation enables the system to maintain simplicity while enhancing engagement by only incorporating relevant dialogue segments rather than processing entire content items.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing content items to extract and store dialogue portions with metadata (parts of speech, grammatical information, context) before queries are received. This advance preparation enables rapid response generation without increasing real-time system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If dialogue portions are inserted into all query responses, then user engagement is improved, but response relevance and grammatical correctness may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidgrammatical correctness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by matching dialogue portions to specific response contexts based on grammatical compatibility and relevance. Each response is customized with dialogue that fits its specific grammatical structure and contextual requirements, rather than applying a uniform dialogue insertion approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by evaluating multiple attributes of dialogue portions (parts of speech, grammatical form, context) and selecting only those that match the response template requirements. This parameter-based filtering ensures grammatical correctness while maintaining engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If extensive natural language processing is performed to ensure grammatical correctness, then grammatical accuracy is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrammatical accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs grammatical analysis and metadata extraction in advance during content item processing, storing parts of speech and grammatical information in dialogue metadata. This preliminary action eliminates the need for extensive real-time natural language processing when generating responses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses pre-analyzed dialogue metadata as a template or copy that can be quickly matched to response templates without re-processing the original content. This copying approach maintains grammatical accuracy while significantly reducing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

4Loss of information

If dialogue from multiple content items is integrated into responses, then response richness and relevance are improved, but system complexity and data management difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse richnessVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments dialogue from multiple content items into discrete, metadata-tagged portions that can be independently managed and retrieved. This segmentation transforms unmanageable raw dialogue data into structured, queryable units that enhance response richness without overwhelming system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Systems and methods are described herein for inserting dialogue into query responses by generating and using dialogue metadata in conjunction with response templates. Metadata for each portion of dialogue of a plurality of portions of dialogue from a number of content items is stored, including information regarding the source content item, a transcript of the dialogue, and grammatical information. Upon receiving a query related to a content item, a type of response is first determined. Based on the type of response, and using the dialogue metadata, a portion of dialogue is identified for insertion into the response. The identified portion of dialogue is retrieved and inserted at an appropriate position within the response. The response is then generated for output.
