Solution Overview

Problem

Voiceprint recognition systems face challenges in maintaining accuracy due to changes in user voice features caused by personal circumstances and external environmental factors, leading to inconsistent voiceprint verification and poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A data update method that involves acquiring audio data from multiple conversation scenarios, extracting audio feature information, and updating voiceprint information based on successful voice recognition, allowing the voiceprint information to adapt to user voice feature changes and environmental conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If voiceprint information is kept static for security, then security is improved, but voiceprint recognition accuracy deteriorates due to user voice feature changes

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidvoiceprint recognition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic voiceprint information that automatically updates based on user voice features captured in conversation scenarios. The voiceprint information transitions from a static state to a dynamic state that adapts to user voice changes over time, resolving the contradiction between security (static) and recognition accuracy (dynamic).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-updating of voiceprint information by automatically capturing user voice features during natural conversations and updating the voiceprint database without requiring manual user intervention. This self-service mechanism maintains both security and accuracy simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If voiceprint information is updated frequently to improve accuracy, then voiceprint recognition accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoiceprint recognition accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements continuous voice feature capture and updating during natural conversation scenarios, transforming the discrete updating process into a continuous background operation. This eliminates the need for complex manual update triggers while maintaining high recognition accuracy through persistent adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically manages the entire voiceprint updating process including voice feature extraction, comparison, and database updates without requiring complex user interaction or manual intervention, thereby reducing system operational complexity while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If voiceprint recognition is performed in multiple conversation scenarios, then adaptability is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoiceprint adaptabilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary voice feature extraction and processing during the conversation capture phase, preparing the data in advance for recognition. This preliminary action reduces the actual recognition processing time while maintaining adaptability across multiple conversation scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously captures and processes voice features in the background during natural conversations, transforming the sequential process into a continuous operation. This eliminates idle time between capture and recognition while maintaining high adaptability to different conversation contexts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
