Solution Overview

Problem

Public safety digital assistants face challenges in accessing enterprise-specific information due to lexicon and syntax differences, leading to inefficiencies and potential misinterpretation when trying to retrieve enterprise data.

Innovation Solution

Integrate an enterprise digital assistant server into a public safety talkgroup, allowing users to directly interact with the enterprise DA server through the talkgroup, bypassing the need for the public safety DA to translate or access enterprise databases.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If the public safety DA translates user inquiries to access enterprise databases, then the public safety system can access enterprise information, but translation errors and delays occur due to lexicon and syntax differences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accuracyVSAvoiddata retrieval delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an enterprise DA server as an intermediary component within the talkgroup. Instead of the public safety DA translating queries to access enterprise databases, the enterprise DA server directly receives and processes user inquiries using its own lexicon and syntax, eliminating translation errors and delays while maintaining information accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the digital assistant functionality into separate components: a public safety DA for public safety operations and an enterprise DA server for enterprise-specific information access. Each component operates independently with its own lexicon and syntax, allowing direct interaction without translation overhead

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If the public safety DA accesses enterprise databases directly, then information can be retrieved, but lexicon and syntax differences cause misinterpretation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation access speedVSAvoidquery interpretation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The enterprise DA server acts as a specialized intermediary that understands both public safety query patterns and enterprise database syntax. It receives inquiries from public safety users, interprets them using its own lexicon, and accurately retrieves information from enterprise databases without misinterpretation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the operational parameters of the system by introducing a dedicated enterprise DA server with its own lexicon and syntax parameters. This allows the system to maintain high productivity while improving reliability, as the enterprise DA server processes queries using optimized parameters specific to enterprise data structures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple digital assistants are integrated into the talkgroup, then diverse information sources are accessible, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation source diversityVSAvoidtalkgroup configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universality by allowing the enterprise DA server to function within the existing public safety talkgroup infrastructure. The enterprise DA server adopts the same talkgroup communication protocols and interfaces used by public safety DAs, enabling diverse information sources without increasing configuration complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the enterprise DA server with the public safety talkgroup system, combining multiple information sources under a unified communication framework. The enterprise DA server integrates seamlessly with existing talkgroup members, providing diverse information access while maintaining system simplicity through shared infrastructure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Systems and methods for integrating an enterprise digital assistant into a public safety talkgroup. One example system includes a talkgroup server communicatively coupled to a dispatch console and a public safety digital assistant server. The talkgroup server includes an electronic processor configured to receive connection information, associated with an incident, for an enterprise digital assistant server, establish a connection with the enterprise digital assistant server based on the connection information, and generate a talkgroup for the incident, the talkgroup members including the public safety digital assistant server, the dispatch console, and the enterprise digital assistant server.
