Voice Announcement Relaying for Secure Multi-Device Targeting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in efficiently transmitting voice messages to multiple devices within a home environment, particularly when information about recipient devices is unknown, and ensuring privacy and security in such transmissions.
Innovation Solution
A resident device within the home environment identifies and relays announcements to appropriate devices based on user profiles and account types, using natural language processing to determine message content and network connectivity, ensuring secure and targeted message delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a device transmits voice messages to multiple recipient devices, then message delivery capability is improved, but device complexity and information management requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
A server acts as an intermediary between the sending device and multiple recipient devices. The server receives the voice message, manages recipient device information, and distributes the message to appropriate devices. This intermediary approach enables multi-device message delivery without increasing the complexity of individual devices, as the server handles the information management burden.
2Measurement precision
If recipient device information is stored and processed, then targeted message delivery is improved, but privacy and security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system moves device information management to a different dimension - from local device storage to centralized server storage. This dimensional shift allows for secure, centralized management of recipient information with proper access controls, enabling accurate message targeting while reducing privacy and security risks associated with distributed device-level storage.
3Adaptability or versatility
If voice messages are transmitted to devices outside the home environment, then communication versatility is improved, but network traffic and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs preliminary actions by pre-managing recipient device information and determining message routing before actual message transmission. This preliminary organization of information enables efficient message distribution, reducing redundant network traffic and computing resources when transmitting messages both within and outside the home environment.

AI summary
Techniques are disclosed for transmitting an announcement to one or more devices. In one example, a first device receives a first message that includes an announcement, the announcement associated with a voice that spoke the announcement. The first device may determine the announcement from the first message, and then identify one or more devices for receiving the announcement. The one or more devices may have a particular device type of a plurality of different device types comprising at least a mobile device. The first device may then transmit a second message to the one or more devices for presentation of the announcement by the one or more devices.
