Mobile Data Assist App Voice Entry and Real-Time Sync
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile device data entry methods are inconvenient, insecure, and prone to errors, especially in situations like driving or walking, and data is not effectively shared or retained across different interactions or companies.
Innovation Solution
A data assist application that allows users to share and update structured data in real-time, integrating with OS-supplied data and third-party apps, enabling seamless data management and control on user devices, with features like voice recognition, local storage, and permission management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If user touches or types data on mobile device, then data entry is achieved, but user convenience deteriorates due to requiring eyes and hands on screen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical data entry methods (touching and typing on screen) with voice-based data entry. The system captures spoken words through a microphone and uses speech recognition to convert audio signals into structured data, eliminating the need for physical interaction with the device screen while maintaining data entry functionality.
2Ease of operation
If user speaks data for entry, then user convenience improves, but data security deteriorates due to potential eavesdropping
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces speech recognition technology as an intermediary between the user's spoken words and the data entry system. The voice data is captured, processed through recognition algorithms, and converted into structured format before being stored or transmitted, creating a layered security approach where the raw voice data is transformed before reaching the target system.
3Ease of operation
If speech recognition is used for data entry, then user convenience improves, but accuracy deteriorates due to recognition limitations in noisy environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a multi-functional data capture system that can operate in multiple modes: voice-only input, text-only input, and combined voice-text input. The system can adaptively switch between modes or combine them based on environmental conditions, allowing users to supplement voice recognition with manual text entry when accuracy is compromised by noise or other factors.
4Loss of time
If data is entered during a call, then immediate data availability is achieved, but data retention deteriorates as data is not retained beyond that call
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic data retention and pre-population functionality where data entered during a call is automatically saved and stored in the system. Before subsequent calls or interactions, the system pre-loads this retained data, allowing users to review and confirm data before use, thereby eliminating the need to re-enter information while maintaining immediate availability when needed.
5Loss of information
If sophisticated mobile applications retain entered data, then data retention improves, but data accessibility deteriorates as data is only available to the company that asked for it
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal data repository system where data entered for one company or purpose is automatically made accessible to multiple companies and applications. The system structures data in a standardized format that can be shared across different platforms and organizations, allowing a single data entry to serve multiple purposes and beneficiaries without requiring re-entry.
Data Source
AI summary
A data assist application allows people to share structured data, and update and/or collaborate in real time. Companies can use embodiments of the invention to send and/or receive structured data. Embodiments of the data assist application work standalone or while a user is talking to a person or a company. In use, information is spread when people share data with non-users. The data are preferably owned and/or controlled by the user and stored on user devices. Further embodiments of the invention integrate with OS-supplied data and third party apps.
