Solution Overview

Problem

Excessive network transmissions of packetized data can lead to inefficient bandwidth utilization, processing overload, and degraded response times in computing devices, particularly when dealing with a large number of content item objects that initiate network transmissions.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for transmitting packetized data in a voice-activated packet-based computer network environment that includes a natural language processor to identify requests and trigger keywords, generating action data structures, and selecting digital components for display, while optimizing data routing by considering processor capability, memory, and network bandwidth utilization to reduce redundant transmissions and conserve resources.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the system transmits digital components to multiple client devices, then more users can access the content, but network bandwidth utilization deteriorates due to redundant transmissions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent delivery coverageVSAvoidnetwork bandwidth utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges duplicate digital component transmissions by identifying when multiple client devices request the same content and consolidating the transmission through a single path in the content delivery network, thereby maintaining broad content delivery coverage while eliminating redundant bandwidth consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of transmission requests to predict and prevent duplicate transmissions before they occur, using metadata comparison and request pattern recognition to route content efficiently across the network

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system processes a large number of content item objects, then more transmission options are available, but processing capacity is overwhelmed leading to degraded response times

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission routing optionsVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the content delivery network into hierarchical zones and processing tiers, dividing the large number of content item objects into manageable groups that can be processed independently, maintaining routing flexibility while preventing processing overload

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different processing qualities and levels of analysis to different content items based on their characteristics, priority, and destination, allowing high-value transmissions to receive detailed processing while lower-priority items receive streamlined handling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system transmits packetized data to multiple devices simultaneously, then service coverage is improved, but computing devices experience processing overload

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice coverageVSAvoidprocessing capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces intermediary caching nodes and proxy servers between the content source and multiple client devices, allowing simultaneous service coverage while distributing processing load across the intermediary infrastructure rather than overwhelming individual computing devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A system of reducing transmissions of packetized data in a voice activated data packet based computer network environment is provided. A natural language processor component can parse an input audio signal to identify a request and a trigger keyword. Based on the input audio signal, a direct action application programming interface can generate a first action data structure, and a content selector component can select a content item. An interface management component can identify candidate interfaces and determine if prior instances of the packetized data was transmitted to the candidate interfaces. The interface management component can prevent the transmission of the packetized data if determined to be redundant, such as having previously received the data, and instead transmit it to a separate client device of a different device type.
