Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in quickly accessing relevant web-based or application resources due to the presence of numerous links and information that may not be pertinent to their interests.
Innovation Solution
A computing system that utilizes voice input to generate and store bookmarks, allowing users to quickly access resource pages through a user device interacting with a computing server that includes a bookmarks engine.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually create and manage bookmarks through multiple touch inputs, then bookmark functionality is achieved, but user time and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual touch-based bookmark creation with voice command processing. The system captures voice input, transcribes it to text, and automatically creates bookmarks without requiring users to manually navigate menus or perform multiple touch operations, thereby reducing both time and operational complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically processes voice commands to create bookmarks without requiring user confirmation or additional interactions. The bookmark creation process is self-service in nature, where the system interprets the voice intent and executes the bookmark creation autonomously
2Speed
If voice input processing is performed locally on the user device, then response time improves, but device processor load and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the computationally intensive voice processing and bookmark management functions from the user device and relocates them to a remote server. The device only handles lightweight tasks like capturing voice input and displaying results, while the server performs transcription, intent recognition, and bookmark creation, thereby reducing device energy consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a server as an intermediary between the user device and the bookmark storage system. The server acts as a mediator that handles the complex processing of voice commands and bookmark management, allowing the device to maintain fast response times while offloading energy-intensive operations
Data Source
AI summary
A computer-implemented method is described. The method includes a computing system receiving a first voice input from a user for generating a bookmark. Responsive to receiving the voice input, the computing system obtains a resource identifier associated with a resource page. The method includes the computing system storing the resource identifier as a bookmark in a bookmark index that is accessible in response to a request from a user device. The method further includes the computing system using the resource identifier, stored as the bookmark, to access the resource page. The computing system uses the resource identifier to access the resource page based on the request from the user device. The request is generated by the user device in response to the user device receiving a second voice input from the user.
