Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional application processing systems require users to manually input data, which is time-consuming and prone to errors, especially on mobile devices with small keyboards, leading to delays and abandonment of the application process.

Innovation Solution

A voice analysis system that enables users to input data verbally through a voice-input tool, using a voice analysis server to process digital sound data and populate online application forms with text-based templates and descriptor phrases.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If users manually type and select information on mobile devices, then data can be inputted into the application, but the process becomes time-consuming and users are prone to input errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata input accuracyVSAvoidapplication completion time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical typing system with a voice recognition system. Users speak their information instead of manually typing it, and the system converts the speech to text automatically. This substitution eliminates the manual input process entirely, reducing both time consumption and input errors while maintaining data accuracy.

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

2Ease of operation

If conventional systems display substantial amounts of information to prompt users, then users can be guided to provide correct information, but processing time increases and users may abandon the application

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser guidance qualityVSAvoidapplication processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the guidance information from the traditional display-based system and delivers it through audio prompts. Instead of requiring users to read and process large amounts of text on screen, the system speaks the questions and instructions directly to the user, who responds verbally. This extraction of information from visual to auditory form maintains guidance quality while dramatically reducing processing time and user abandonment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Adaptability or versatility

If mobile devices with small keyboards are used for data entry, then users can access applications conveniently, but data input becomes inefficient and error-prone

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemobile device accessibilityVSAvoiddata entry efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical keyboard input system with a voice-based input system. The small keyboard limitation is circumvented by using the device's microphone and speech-to-text capabilities. Users speak their information naturally without needing to physically type, which maintains mobile accessibility while dramatically improving data entry efficiency and reducing errors associated with small keyboard input.

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

AI summary

A voice analysis (VA) computer system for processing verbally inputted data into an online application form is provided. The VA computer system is configured to receive a first set of digital sound data in connection with a first form submission, and enable a voice-input tool on a user computing device for an applicant to input registration data, including in a second set of digital sound data. The VA computer system is configured to retrieve a text-based template including a sequence of descriptor phrases and blank data fields. The VA computer system may be configured to transmit first instructions to the user computing device that cause the user computing device to issue a first prompt, receive a first registration data element including a first response from the applicant via the voice-input tool, translate the first response into text inputs, and store each descriptor phrase linked to the corresponding response associated therewith.
