Voice Search Protocol Conflict Resolution on TVs
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in efficiently searching for content on devices like televisions using voice commands, as existing systems often require manual input and lack seamless integration across different wireless communication protocols.
Innovation Solution
A system that utilizes a mobile device to transmit voice data to a media output device, which can receive voice data over multiple wireless protocols, and processes it to provide content selection options, allowing users to perform voice-based content searching without disrupting current playback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If voice data is received over multiple wireless protocols simultaneously, then the system can receive voice commands from various devices, but conflict arises when voice data is received over different protocols at the same time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a protocol selection mechanism that acts as an intermediary between multiple wireless protocols and the voice processing system. When voice data is received over different protocols simultaneously, the system selects one protocol as the active channel and discards voice data from other protocols, thereby resolving conflicts while maintaining multi-protocol compatibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary protocol selection and voice data validation before processing the voice command. By anticipating potential protocol conflicts and establishing selection criteria in advance, the system prevents data conflicts from affecting voice recognition accuracy and reliability.
2Measurement precision
If manual input is required for content searching, then search accuracy can be maintained, but user convenience and operation speed deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical input (typing, keyboard entry) with voice-based acoustic input for content searching. The system captures voice commands, processes them through speech recognition, and converts them into search queries, thereby maintaining search accuracy while dramatically improving user convenience and operation speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a speech recognition intermediary that translates natural voice input into structured search queries. This intermediary layer enables users to speak naturally while ensuring the search system receives precise, properly formatted queries, bridging the gap between casual speech and accurate search execution.
3Ease of operation
If voice searching is implemented, then user convenience improves, but system complexity increases due to multi-protocol integration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the wireless communication system into independent protocol handlers, each responsible for a specific protocol (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.). This modular segmentation allows the system to support multiple protocols without increasing overall complexity, as each protocol is processed independently and results are consolidated by a central voice processing module.

AI summary
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for voice-based content searching. The systems, methods, and computer-readable media described herein may improve user experiences by providing voice-based content searching using mobile devices. In an example method described herein, a computer system may receive a voice search initiation signal from a mobile device over a WiFi protocol connection or a Bluetooth protocol connection. The computer system may monitor a WiFi receiver and a Bluetooth receiver of the computer system for first voice data. The computer system may determine that the first voice data is being received at the WiFi receiver. The computer system may determine that second voice data is received at the Bluetooth receiver while the first voice data is being received at the WiFi receiver, and discard the second voice data.
