Solution Overview

Problem

Organizations face repetitive and management-intensive audio experiences in their physical locations, lacking meaningful distinction from other organizations, as they often rely on licensed music or pseudo-automated piano playing.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for generating a unique soundtrack using integrated live data from an information system, where data is aggregated, converted into observables, and applied to a base track to modify notes, scale, tonic, tempo, or volume, creating a unique audio experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If licensed music or pseudo-automated piano playing is used for audio presentations, then the audio experience is provided, but the content becomes repetitive and lacks meaningful distinction from other organizations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuniqueness of audio experienceVSAvoidcomplexity of audio generation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically generates unique soundtracks by harvesting and processing organizational data without human intervention. The automated composition engine transforms raw data into musical elements, eliminating the need for manual music selection or management while ensuring each organization receives a customized audio experience that reflects its unique characteristics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system varies multiple musical parameters including tempo, pitch, rhythm, and instrumentation based on different data sources and organizational characteristics. By dynamically adjusting these parameters, the system generates diverse and unique soundtracks that adapt to different contexts and data inputs, preventing repetition and enhancing distinguishability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If live performers or licensed music are used, then audio quality is maintained, but management overhead and operational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudio qualityVSAvoidautomation of audio presentation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces mechanical and human systems (live performers, manual music licensing) with an automated digital composition engine. This engine processes organizational data and generates music programmatically, eliminating management overhead while maintaining consistent audio quality through controlled synthesis and processing of musical elements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates customized copies of musical compositions tailored to each organization's specific data characteristics. Rather than using standardized licensed music or human performers, the system generates unique audio copies that reflect organizational metrics, events, and patterns, ensuring both quality and automation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Ease of operation

If standardized audio presentations are used across organizations, then implementation is simple, but the audio experience lacks meaningful distinction and personalization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of audio presentation implementationVSAvoidpersonalization of audio content
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs a universal automated composition engine that can serve multiple organizations with different data characteristics using the same core technology platform. This multi-functional system adapts to various organizational types and data sources while maintaining ease of deployment, generating personalized content through a standardized automated process that requires minimal configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems, methods, and user interfaces for generating a soundtrack using integrated live data from an information system. In this way, the audio presentation for an organization can be automated utilizing meaningful data that is converted into unique sounds based on defined criteria that results in an almost endless culmination of songs providing a story unique to the organization. To do so, data is aggregated from a number of sources (e.g., analytics data, network activity, and the like). The data is converted into observables that can influence the selection of a base track comprising a measure of notes. A soundtrack is generated by applying the observables to the base track, the observables causing changes in one or more of the measure of notes, scale, tonic, tempo, or volume of the soundtrack.
