Enriched Audio-Visual Message Transmission via Multimedia Insertion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems face challenges in efficiently transmitting and receiving enriched audio or audiovisual messages with textual information, such as Internet addresses, without modifying infrastructure, as current methods lengthen messages, risk confusion, and require significant adaptations.
Innovation Solution
A method that converts enrichment information into a multimedia message, inserting it into the audio or visual content of the initial message, allowing for transparent transmission and processing, using audio or visual separation tags to facilitate processing and reduce resource usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If textual information is dictated in the voice message, then the recipient can receive the information, but the voice message lengthens and becomes disturbed
Solution Approach 1:
The message is segmented into two distinct parts: the original audio/visual message and the enrichment information. The enrichment information is extracted and placed in a separate data structure (XML metadata) rather than being embedded within the message flow, allowing the original message to remain unchanged and concise while still delivering the textual information to the recipient.
Solution Approach 2:
An intermediary system (message processing server) is introduced to handle the enrichment information separately from the original message transmission. This intermediary converts the enrichment information into a standardized format and manages its delivery independently, preventing it from interfering with or lengthening the original message while ensuring the information reaches the recipient.
2Loss of information
If textual information is added in parallel to the voice message in the database, then the information can be stored, but the communication system infrastructure requires consequent adaptations
Solution Approach 1:
The enrichment information is formatted using a universal standard (XML) that can be processed by any compatible device or system. This multi-functional approach allows the same infrastructure to handle both traditional message transmission and enriched message transmission without requiring separate specialized systems, thereby reducing overall infrastructure complexity while maintaining information storage capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of modifying the original message or creating complex integrated storage structures, the system creates a separate copy of the enrichment information in a standardized format. This copying approach allows the original message infrastructure to remain unchanged while adding the capability to store and transmit enrichment information through a parallel, simpler mechanism.
3Adaptability or versatility
If enrichment information is converted into multimedia insertion message and inserted into the initial message, then the transmission can be done without infrastructure modification, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The enrichment information is extracted from the complex multimedia insertion message format and placed into a simplified, standardized XML metadata structure. This extraction reduces processing complexity by separating the essential enrichment data from the elaborate container format, while still maintaining the ability to transmit the information without modifying the core communication infrastructure.

AI summary
The method involves converting enrichment information (8) e.g. text information, to enrich contents of an initial audio or audio-visual message (10) and processing information (9) associated with the enrichment information into a multi-media insertion message (11). The insertion message is inserted in audio or visual content of the initial message so as to create an enriched message (12), and the enriched message is transmitted from a transmission device (2) to a reception device (3) by a communication system (1). The processing information is coded according to an audio or visual code. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for receiving an enriched audio or audio-visual message by a reception device (2) a device for transmitting an enriched audio or audio-visual message (3) a device for receiving an enriched audio or audio-visual message (4) a computer program comprising a set of instructions for executing a method for transmitting enriched audio or audio-visual message and/or a method for receiving an enriched audio or audio-visual message when the program is carried out by a processor (5) a processor readable recording medium for recording a program comprising a set of instructions for executing a method for transmitting an enriched audio or audio-visual message and/or a method for receiving enriched audio or audio-visual message.
