2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional voice authentication techniques are used, then the system is easy to operate, but it is ineffective for individuals with disabilities or those speaking foreign languages

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelanguage and disability accommodationVSAvoiduser interaction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The authentication system is designed to accommodate multiple user types and languages by incorporating location-aware verification and alternative biometric modalities. The system can adapt its verification requirements based on user profile and location, providing universal access while maintaining security standards across diverse user populations

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts authentication requirements based on user characteristics, location data, and risk assessment. For users with disabilities or speaking foreign languages, the system can modify verification steps while maintaining overall security, making the process adaptable to different user needs without requiring complete redesign

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

A system for creating a synthetic voice identifier may include a plurality of synthesized voice authorization (SVA) devices and a biometric combinatory device (BCD). The SVAs may be communicatively coupled to the BCD via a network and may communicate utilizing a markup language. The SVA devices may capture an audio signal of a voice of a user, modify the audio signal with a randomized audio frequency signal to generate a modified audio signal, and communicate, the modified audio signal as a synthesized voice signal associated with the user. The BCD may receive biometric information corresponding to a user, the biometric information comprising at least audio information associated with a voice of the user, receive, at an integration module, location information corresponding to a location of the user, combine, the location information and audio signal information associated with the user to generate a synthesized voice identifier associated with the user, and communicate the synthesized voice identifier to a remote device for use in an authentication process of the user.
