Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies face challenges in generating secure and reliable blocks in blockchain networks and efficiently handling exceptions or anomalies in user requests, leading to labor-intensive and error-prone processes.

Innovation Solution

A system that generates a block in a blockchain network using a voice-based hash value derived from unique voice signatures, and employs pre-trained multitask machine learning programs to identify and resolve exceptions by comparing user requests with previous records, thereby improving security and reducing human error.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual verification is used to evaluate user requests, then information can be verified, but the process becomes labor-intensive and error-prone

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-verification by automatically extracting voice features, generating hash values, and evaluating user requests without human intervention. The automated pipeline processes requests independently, eliminating manual verification while maintaining accuracy through cryptographic hashing and voice biometrics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical verification processes with automated computational systems. Voice-based hash generation and machine learning-based exception handling substitute human evaluators, transforming a labor-intensive process into an efficient automated system that maintains or improves verification reliability.

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

2Ease of manufacture

If arbitrary hash values are used to generate blocks, then block generation is simple, but security and user identification are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblock generation simplicityVSAvoidinformation security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameters used for hash generation from arbitrary values to voice-based biometric features. By extracting acoustic characteristics from user speech and using these as hashing parameters, the system maintains the simplicity of automated block generation while dramatically improving security through unique user identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The voice-based hash value serves as an intermediary between user identity and blockchain records. This intermediary mechanism links user verification to block generation without requiring direct human intervention, enabling both automated processing and enhanced security through biometric authentication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If manual evaluation of user requests is performed, then exceptions can be identified, but the process is time-consuming and labor-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexception detection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary automated evaluation of user requests by extracting voice features and generating hash values before blocks are created. Exception detection is performed upfront in the request processing pipeline, identifying issues before they require manual intervention and reducing overall processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The automated exception handling system provides immediate feedback on request validity through voice-based verification and hash comparison. This feedback mechanism quickly identifies exceptions and routing issues, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual evaluation while maintaining high detection accuracy through automated analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A system receives a speech of a user that indicates a request. The system extracts a plurality of voice features from the speech. The system converts the speech into a plurality of binary digits. The system determines a first voice feature constant value associated with a first voice feature, where the first voice feature constant value is an average of the first voice feature. The system determines a second voice feature constant value associated with the second voice feature, where the second voice feature constant value is an average of the second voice feature. The system encrypts the plurality of binary digits using the first and second voice feature constant values, where the encrypted plurality of binary digits corresponds to a voice-based hash value. The system generates a new block in a blockchain network using the voice-based hash value.
