Existing data transmission methods in computing devices lead to excessive network traffic, inefficient resource utilization, and delayed processing due to the complexity of managing network transmissions for multiple content items, especially in voice-activated environments.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for multi-modal transmission of packetized data that uses a natural language processor to identify requests and trigger keywords, a content selector to choose relevant content items, and an interface management component to optimize resource utilization by selecting the most suitable interface for transmission based on battery status, processor, memory, and network bandwidth utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data packets are transmitted through multiple interfaces for content item objects, then the content delivery capability is improved, but the network bandwidth utilization increases and processing latency increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data transmission process by dividing content item objects into different priority levels and routing them through different interfaces based on their importance and resource requirements. Critical content is transmitted through high-priority interfaces while less critical content uses available bandwidth in lower-priority interfaces, thereby improving overall content delivery capability without unnecessarily consuming network bandwidth for all types of data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes transmission parameters such as interface selection, packet size, and transmission timing based on real-time network conditions and content characteristics. By adjusting these parameters according to current bandwidth availability and content urgency, the system optimizes content delivery while preventing excessive bandwidth consumption during low-traffic periods.
2Adaptability or versatility
If data packets are transmitted through multiple interfaces for content item objects, then the content delivery capability is improved, but the processing latency increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary actions by pre-establishing interface priority configurations and pre-buffering critical content items before transmission is needed. The system pre-identifies which interfaces should handle which types of content based on historical performance and current device state, so that when content needs to be delivered, the routing decision is already made and transmission can begin immediately, reducing processing latency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary component that acts as a smart router between content sources and transmission interfaces. This intermediary evaluates content priorities, interface availability, and current device state to make optimal routing decisions, thereby improving content delivery capability while minimizing the time spent on routing decisions and reducing overall processing latency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple content item objects initiate network transmissions, then the content variety is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal transmission management system that handles multiple types of content item objects through a single integrated interface and control mechanism. Rather than creating separate management systems for different content types, the universal system categorizes content by priority and applies consistent routing rules, thereby supporting content variety while reducing the complexity that would arise from multiple specialized management systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system manages complexity by changing parameters such as content priority classification, interface selection criteria, and transmission scheduling based on the type and urgency of content items. By dynamically adjusting these parameters rather than using fixed complex rules for each content type, the system achieves high content variety support with simplified adaptive management logic.
4Use of energy by moving object
If network transmissions are controlled for content item objects, then the resource utilization is improved, but the transmission efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent maintains continuous useful action by implementing background monitoring of resource utilization that operates continuously without interrupting active transmissions. The system continuously gathers data on battery status, processor load, and network conditions, and uses this information to make smooth transitions in transmission strategies without stopping or pausing content delivery, thereby improving resource utilization while maintaining transmission efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where transmission performance and resource utilization are continuously monitored and fed back to the control system. This feedback allows the system to adjust transmission parameters in real-time, optimizing resource utilization during high-traffic periods while maintaining efficient transmission during low-traffic periods, thus resolving the contradiction between resource control and transmission efficiency.

AI summary
A system of multi-modal transmission of packetized data in a voice activated data packet based computer network environment is provided. A natural language processor component can parse an input audio signal to identify a request and a trigger keyword. Based on the input audio signal, a direct action application programming interface can generate a first action data structure, and a content selector component can select a content item. An interface management component can identify first and second candidate interfaces, and respective resource utilization values. The interface management component can select, based on the resource utilization values, the first candidate interface to present the content item. The interface management component can provide the first action data structure to the client computing device for rendering as audio output, and can transmit the content item converted for a first modality to deliver the content item for rendering from the selected interface.
