Innovation Solution

The implementation of intelligent agent features in personal communication nodes, allowing for secure, automated, and context-aware communication management, including secure recording, transcription, and assistance, through the instantiation of intelligent agent nodes within communication groups, utilizing voice recognition and encryption for secure communication links.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If multiple user inputs and preferences are required for communication, then communication control and customization are improved, but user distraction and operational difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication controlVSAvoidinput requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The intelligent agent automatically manages communication preferences and settings without requiring continuous user input. The agent monitors communication patterns, learns user preferences, and autonomously configures communication parameters, thereby reducing the burden of multiple manual inputs while maintaining customized communication control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The intelligent agent acts as an intermediary between the user and the communication system. It translates user intents into specific communication configurations, managing the complexity of multiple preferences and inputs behind the scenes while presenting a simplified interface to the user

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If user interface interaction is required during communication, then communication management is improved, but task distraction and difficulty in dynamic environments increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask efficiencyVSAvoidinterface interaction
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical interaction (button presses, menu navigation) with voice-based interaction. Users can manage communications through natural speech commands, eliminating the need to physically interface with the device while holding a phone, thereby maintaining communication management capabilities without distracting from current tasks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The intelligent agent autonomously manages communication tasks without requiring active user interface interaction. It handles call management, message routing, and communication preferences automatically, allowing users to focus on their primary tasks while the agent handles communication overhead in the background

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If intelligent agent nodes are instantiated in communication groups, then automated assistance and secure services are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure communicationVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The intelligent agent nodes provide multiple functions within a single system component. They simultaneously handle secure communication management, audio recording, transcription, annotation, and paging services. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components, managing system complexity while providing comprehensive secure services

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

Solution Approach 2:

The intelligent agent nodes are nested within the existing communication group infrastructure. Rather than creating entirely separate systems, the agents are integrated as members of communication groups, leveraging existing protocols and structures. This nesting approach provides enhanced security and automation capabilities while minimizing additional system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

Systems, methods, apparatus and software enable intelligent agent features for user nodes that are members of a communication group. Instructions instantiate an intelligent agent node as a member of the communication group. Each intelligent agent node can be instantiated by a communication group management system, an intelligent agent system and/or by one or more of the communication group members, for example by executing software on one or more computing systems or devices. A variety of services and other assistance can be provided by intelligent agent member nodes, including recording communications, auditing communications, providing audio transcription, annotating media, and paging communication devices, including communication nodes that are not members of the communication group. Communications between personal communication nodes and any intelligent agents can be secure.
