Communication Session UI for Real-Time Word Definitions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
User interfaces in communication sessions often fail to provide real-time definitions for unfamiliar words, leading to communication barriers and distractions as users seek external sources for explanations, disrupting the discussion flow.
Innovation Solution
Implementing an automated speech recognition system and a large language model to generate and present definitions of unfamiliar words in real-time during a communication session, tailored to the user's attributes and context, using a user interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users search for explanations of unfamiliar words during the conversation, then they can understand the word, but it causes distractions and loss of attention to the discussion
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically detecting unfamiliar words and providing their explanations before the user needs to search for them. The explanation is prepared and presented in advance, eliminating the need for users to interrupt the discussion to look up words externally.
Solution Approach 2:
The system acts as an intermediary between the user and the unfamiliar word by providing automated explanations through the user interface. This mediator function allows users to understand words without leaving the interface or breaking their focus on the discussion.
2Loss of information
If users leave the interface to search for word explanations, then they can find definitions, but it disrupts the discussion flow
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides self-service by automatically generating and displaying explanations of unfamiliar words within the interface. Users receive the information they need without manual intervention to search external sources, and the discussion flow remains uninterrupted.
Solution Approach 2:
The explanation is prepared and presented in advance within the interface, so users do not need to leave to search for definitions. This preliminary provision of information maintains the stability and continuity of the discussion flow.
3Loss of information
If real-time definitions are provided for all words, then user comprehension is enhanced, but it increases device complexity and processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by providing definitions selectively rather than for all words. It identifies and provides explanations only for unfamiliar words based on user profile and context analysis, reducing unnecessary processing while maintaining comprehension enhancement where needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by adjusting the level of information provision based on user attributes, word importance, and context. This selective approach optimizes processing requirements while maintaining effective comprehension support.
Data Source
AI summary
According to an aspect of at least one embodiment, a method to improve a user interface may include obtaining transcript data include one or more words from a transcription of speech in the audio data. The transcript data may be generated by automated speech recognition technology from the audio data. The transcript data and criteria may be provided to a large language model configured to analyze the transcript data based on the criteria to select a word from the transcript data. A definition of the selected word may also be generated by the large language model. The selected word and the definition of the selected word may be obtained. The audio data may be broadcasted by a device and the selected word and the definition of the selected word may be presented on a display of the device with the broadcasting of the audio data.
