Solution Overview

Problem

Businesses face challenges in efficiently processing and analyzing large volumes of communication data from call centers due to resource-intensive speech recognition technologies, which hinder timely review and analysis of customer service interactions.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a multi-pass analytics system that includes first and second tier speech to text analytics, where the first tier performs expedited speech recognition and sends relevant data to a second tier for more thorough analysis, optimizing resource usage and improving processing speed.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If speech recognition technology is used to capture and analyze communication data, then the ability to review and analyze customer service interactions is improved, but hardware resources are consumed extensively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeech analysis capabilityVSAvoidhardware resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments speech recognition processing into multiple tiers: a first tier that performs expedited speech-to-text conversion on all audio data, and a second tier that performs more thorough analytics only on selected portions. This segmentation allows the system to maintain high speech analysis capability while reducing overall hardware resource consumption by applying intensive processing only where necessary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by performing comprehensive speech analytics on only a portion of the total communication data rather than all data. The first tier processes all data at a basic level, while the second tier performs intensive analytics selectively, thus achieving effective speech analysis without the excessive resource consumption of full-depth processing on all data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Measurement precision

If thorough speech analytics are performed on all communication data, then analysis accuracy is improved, but processing speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalytics accuracyVSAvoiddata processing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides analytics processing into two segments: a first tier that performs expedited speech-to-text conversion on all audio data to maintain processing speed, and a second tier that performs thorough analytics only on selected portions to maintain accuracy. This segmentation allows the system to achieve both speed and accuracy by applying different processing depths to different data portions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by performing comprehensive analytics only on a portion of the data rather than all data. The selective application of thorough analytics in the second tier maintains accuracy for critical cases while the expedited first tier maintains overall processing speed across the entire dataset.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If all communication data is reviewed, then customer service quality assessment is improved, but the time required for review increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality assessment accuracyVSAvoidreview time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the review process into two tiers: a first tier that rapidly processes all communication data to convert speech to text, and a second tier that performs detailed quality analytics only on selected portions. This segmentation enables comprehensive quality assessment across all data while maintaining rapid processing by limiting intensive analysis to specific cases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by performing detailed quality analytics on only a portion of the communication data rather than all data. The expedited first tier ensures all data is processed quickly for basic conversion, while the selective second tier application of thorough analytics maintains assessment accuracy for critical cases without increasing overall review time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
