Solution Overview

Problem

Current communication systems cannot effectively distinguish between genuine and fake messages transmitted using Text To Speech (TTS) technology, leading to misunderstandings and reduced communication success rates as recipients often mistake TTS messages for false messages.

Innovation Solution

An instant communication method that combines a self-defined voice message with an instant communication message based on identity information, allowing the message receiving party to accurately identify the sender, thereby preventing misunderstandings and improving communication success rates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If TTS technology is used to convert text into voice for broadcasting, then communication efficiency is improved and re-recording is eliminated, but recipients mistake the messages for fake messages and reject them

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidmessage authenticity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a self-defined voice message as an intermediary element between the text content and the recipient. This voice message, which contains the sender's personalized voice recording, serves as a mediator that bridges the gap between automated TTS communication and trusted human-to-human interaction, allowing recipients to verify the sender's identity while maintaining communication efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite message structure that combines TTS-generated voice (for efficiency) with pre-recorded self-defined voice (for authenticity verification). This composite approach allows the message to simultaneously achieve the benefits of automated text-to-voice conversion while incorporating elements that prove the message's genuine origin

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Stability of the object's composition

If standardized TTS voice is used for communication, then user experience consistency is improved, but recipients become sensitive and cannot distinguish genuine messages from fake ones

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experience consistencyVSAvoidmessage authenticity recognition
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by maintaining standardized TTS voice for the main message content (ensuring consistency) while adding a localized personalized voice segment at the beginning (enabling authenticity recognition). This allows different parts of the message to serve different functions: the standardized portion maintains user experience consistency while the personalized portion provides verification capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

An instant communication method is disclosed. The method includes receiving an instant communication message sent by a first client terminal, the instant communication message including first identity information and second identity information; obtaining a corresponding self-defined voice message based on the first identity information; adding the instant communication message to the end of the self-defined voice message to form a current message; and sending the current message to a communication device that corresponds to the second identity information. The instant communication method is able to effectively avoid misunderstanding of a message receiving party.
