Distributed Voice Application Architecture for Secure User Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing centralized voice services platforms are inflexible, costly, and limited in their ability to provide personalized and secure voice applications due to their reliance on complex speech recognition processing and telephony infrastructure, leading to issues with user authentication and access to multiple services.
Innovation Solution
A distributed voice application execution system architecture (DVAESA) that enables voice applications to be delivered over a network to local devices, allowing for simultaneous voice and data communication, reducing the need for dedicated voice links and enabling personalized and secure voice services through voiceprint analysis for user identification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If centralized voice services platforms use complex speech recognition processing, then voice services can be provided, but the systems become inflexible and costly with high device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the centralized voice services platform into distributed components deployed across multiple servers and network locations. Voice application processing is divided into separate modules that can be independently deployed, managed, and scaled across the network infrastructure, eliminating the need for a single complex centralized system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a network infrastructure as an intermediary between users and voice services. Instead of direct connections to a centralized platform, users access voice applications through the network, which mediates service delivery and enables distributed processing across multiple nodes.
2Reliability
If dedicated telephone lines are used for voice services, then secure voice communication is achieved, but the systems become inflexible and costly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the network infrastructure universal by enabling it to carry both data and voice traffic simultaneously. The same network connections used for data communication can also transmit voice signals, eliminating the need for dedicated voice lines while maintaining secure communication through existing network security protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges voice and data communication channels into a single unified network infrastructure. By combining these previously separate communication paths, the system achieves greater flexibility and resource utilization while reducing the need for dedicated voice connections.
3Adaptability or versatility
If voice applications are delivered over the network, then deployment flexibility is improved, but user authentication and security verification become more challenging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical authentication methods (such as voice commands or manual verification) with voiceprint analysis technology. This biometric authentication system uses acoustic characteristics of the user's voice to automatically verify identity, providing secure authentication that works seamlessly with network-delivered voice applications.
4Ease of manufacture
If centralized platforms provision users manually, then configuration management is possible, but extensive manual configuration and service suspension are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service provisioning capabilities that allow users to automatically configure and access voice applications without manual administrator intervention. The system automatically manages user provisioning, configuration updates, and service deployment, eliminating the need for manual configuration management and avoiding service disruptions.
Data Source
AI summary
A distributed voice application execution environment system conducts a voiceprint analysis when a user initially begins to interact with the system. If the system is able to identify the user through a voiceprint analysis, the system immediately begins to interact with the user utilizing voice applications which have been customized for that user.
