Voice Command Session Transfer Between Related Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems lack efficient methods for enabling seamless inter-device communication and packet data session transfer between devices sharing the same account or line, particularly through voice command functionality.
Innovation Solution
A system that utilizes a voice command registration and execution module to generate and process voice command signatures for inter-device communication, allowing devices to transfer ongoing packet data sessions between related devices by associating voice commands with executable actions and utilizing presence information from a server to manage availability and session transfer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If voice command functionality is added to enable inter-device communication, then user convenience and ease of operation are improved, but device complexity and system resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary to handle voice command processing, session management, and device coordination. The server receives voice commands from the first device, processes them, and coordinates the session transfer to the second device, thereby reducing the complexity burden on individual devices while enabling sophisticated inter-device communication functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a universal voice command interface that can initiate multiple types of communications (voice calls, video calls, instant messages) and perform various operations (session transfer, device discovery, capability querying) through a single unified mechanism, improving ease of operation without proportionally increasing complexity
2Reliability
If packet data session transfer between devices is enabled, then communication continuity and reliability are improved, but system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-registering devices and their capabilities with the server before actual communication occurs. The server maintains advance knowledge of available devices, their capabilities, and their availability status, enabling rapid and reliable session transfer without complex real-time discovery and negotiation procedures
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where devices report their availability status, capability information, and session state to the server. The server uses this feedback to make informed decisions about session transfer, ensuring reliability by only transferring sessions to devices that are currently available and capable of handling them
3Ease of operation
If voice command registration and execution modules are implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but use of energy and processing resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the computationally intensive voice command processing and session management functions from the mobile devices and relocates them to the server. Devices only need to perform lightweight tasks such as capturing voice input, transmitting commands to the server, and executing simple session transfer actions, thereby significantly reducing energy consumption while maintaining ease of operation
Data Source
AI summary
Methods and computing systems for enabling a voice command for communication between related devices are described. A training voice command of a user is processed to generate a voice command signature including a content characteristic and a sound characteristic. When the user wishes to transfer an on-going packet data session from a current device to a related device, the user inputs the same voice command. The voice command will be analyzed with the voice command signature to determine a correspondence before being executed.
