Communication Session Interface for Real-Time Word Definitions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
User interfaces in communication sessions fail to provide real-time definitions for unfamiliar words, leading to communication barriers and distraction as users seek external explanations, especially in diverse and technical discussions.
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 communication sessions, tailored to the user's background and context, using a user interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users search for external explanations of unfamiliar words during communication sessions, then they can understand the word meaning, but they become distracted and lose attention to the discussion
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically detecting unfamiliar words and generating their definitions before users need to search externally. The definitions are prepared and ready for immediate display, preventing the need for users to leave the communication interface and search for explanations elsewhere.
Solution Approach 2:
The system acts as an intermediary between the communication session and the user's understanding needs. Instead of users directly searching external sources, the system mediates by automatically providing definitions within the communication interface, bridging the gap between unfamiliar terminology and user comprehension.
2Loss of information
If the system provides real-time definitions of unfamiliar words, then user comprehension is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves universality by integrating multiple functions into a single communication platform: speech-to-text conversion, natural language processing for identifying unfamiliar words, definition generation, and real-time display. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate external tools while enhancing user comprehension.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting unfamiliar words and generating definitions without requiring user intervention. The system monitors the communication stream, identifies terms that may be unfamiliar to participants, and provides definitions autonomously, reducing the need for users to manually search for explanations.
3Productivity
If the system processes and displays word definitions in real-time, then communication effectiveness is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system converts speech to text and processes the transcript continuously during the communication session, preparing potential definitions in advance. This preliminary processing allows definitions to be displayed with minimal delay when unfamiliar words are detected, maintaining real-time responsiveness while reducing actual display latency.

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.
