Voice Memo Transfer and Processing via Keyword Parsing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems lack the ability to transfer and process digital voice memos effectively across devices, particularly in situations where a user cannot carry their mobile phone, such as during exercise or in wet conditions, and fail to interact with existing applications using voice memos.
Innovation Solution
A system that enables the transfer of voice memos from a recording device to a computing system, where the voice memo is translated into a computer-readable format, and parsed to determine the appropriate software application, creating items such as notes, calendar entries, or emails based on the content, using keywords or keyphrases.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a user carries a mobile phone to record voice memos, then the ability to record and access digital content is improved, but the user cannot record in situations where the phone cannot be carried (exercise, wet conditions, etc.)
Solution Approach 1:
The system separates the voice recording function from the full mobile phone, using a dedicated recording device that can be worn or carried independently. This allows the recording capability to be separated from the main phone device, enabling use in situations where the phone cannot be carried.
Solution Approach 2:
A dedicated recording device acts as an intermediary between the user and the mobile phone. The recording device captures voice memos and transfers them to the phone, serving as a bridge that enables recording functionality in situations where direct phone use is not possible.
2Adaptability or versatility
If voice memos are transferred to a computing system, then the ability to process and integrate memos into applications is improved, but the complexity of the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The computing system is designed to handle multiple types of software applications (notes, calendar, email, etc.) through a universal processing mechanism. The system translates voice memos and automatically determines which application to integrate with, providing multi-functionality without requiring separate processing paths for each application type.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically translates voice memos into computer-readable format and determines the appropriate software application without requiring manual user intervention. The computing system serves itself by autonomously processing the translation and routing decisions, reducing the operational complexity for the user.
3Productivity
If voice memos are automatically translated and processed, then the productivity of memo integration is improved, but the loss of information may increase due to translation errors
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms in the translation and processing pipeline, allowing for verification and correction of translated content. The computing system can compare the translated text against the original voice memo and adjust the translation accuracy, ensuring that productivity gains do not come at the cost of information loss.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer programs for transfer of recorded digital voice memos to a computing system and processing of the transferred digital voice memos by the computing system or another computing system are disclosed. A recording device is configured to record a voice memo from a user and store the voice memo. The recording device is also configured to transfer the recorded voice memo to a computing system. The computing system is configured to translate the transferred voice memo into a computer-readable format and parse the translated voice memo. The computing system is also configured to determine a type of software application to which the voice memo pertains via a preamble, a keyword, or a keyphrase in the translated voice memo. The computing system is further configured to create an item in the determined software application based on the translated voice memo.
