Solution Overview

Problem

Existing voice interface devices lack efficient management and integration solutions for large-scale deployments in organizations, leading to complexity in setup, management, and utilization across multiple devices and spaces.

Innovation Solution

The integration of a voice interface application with organization systems, allowing for the generation of user accounts with permissions and access controls, space identifiers, and automatic device association, enabling customizable voice interface functionalities across devices within an organization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If voice interface devices are deployed in large-scale organizations, then coverage and functionality are improved, but management complexity and setup difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecoverageVSAvoidmanagement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments organization management into hierarchical levels (organization level, space level, device level) with distinct parameters and controls at each level. This allows large-scale deployments to be broken down into manageable units that can be configured and controlled independently, reducing overall management complexity while maintaining broad coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimensional framework by adding organizational parameters (spaces, units, resources, principal profiles) that exist alongside traditional device parameters. This multi-dimensional organization structure enables systematic management of large numbers of devices through hierarchical grouping rather than flat individual management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If individual device configuration is performed manually, then customization is improved, but setup time and operational efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecustomizationVSAvoidsetup time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary configuration actions by automatically generating space identifiers, associating devices with spaces based on network information, and pre-configuring organizational parameters before actual use. This preliminary setup reduces on-site configuration time while maintaining customization capabilities through the organizational framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Devices automatically associate themselves with organizational spaces using their network information (MAC addresses, IP addresses) without manual intervention. The system self-configures by matching device network identifiers with organizational space definitions, enabling rapid deployment while maintaining customized organizational structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If access control is implemented across organization systems, then security is improved, but system complexity and difficulty of operation increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoiddifficulty of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal access control framework using principal profiles that can be applied across multiple devices, spaces, and organizational units. Instead of configuring access controls individually for each device, the same principal profile can be systematically applied throughout the organization, improving security while reducing operational complexity through reuse and consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Systems and methods for integration of speech processing functionality with organization systems are disclosed. For example, a voice interface application may be created to enable a voice interface functionality for devices associated with an organization. Space identifiers of spaces of the organization may be created and associated with the voice interface application. Devices associated with the space identifiers may be enabled for utilizing the voice interface application and may be set up utilizing wireless network identifiers associated with the spaces and/or the organization.
