Electronic Device Voice Stream Reconstruction for Group Messaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices and methods for providing messages, such as Push to Talk (PTT) services, face challenges in efficiently transmitting messages to users and allowing users to easily identify message content and senders, particularly in group communications where multiple users are involved.
Innovation Solution
The method involves reconstructing messages into a voice stream by extracting relevant messages and ID information for selected users, inserting ID information into the messages, and outputting the voice stream, which includes silent intervals between messages to differentiate them, allowing users to identify senders and listen to necessary messages selectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If messages from multiple users are transmitted in group communications, then the quantity of information is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates because users cannot easily identify message senders and content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the mixed group messages by extracting and separating individual user messages based on user identification information. Each user's messages are segmented into distinct voice stream segments with inserted ID information, allowing users to selectively listen to specific segments from particular senders without having to process the entire mixed message stream.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing step where the message processing unit inserts user ID information into the voice stream between message content segments. This intermediary element (ID information) acts as a mediator that helps users identify and differentiate between messages from different senders, solving the identification problem without requiring users to manually sort through all messages.
2Loss of information
If all messages from multiple users are provided to users, then the completeness of information is improved, but the device complexity increases due to the need to manage and organize multiple user messages
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary identification information (user IDs) from the group messages and inserts it into the voice stream at appropriate positions. This extraction approach maintains the completeness of message content while avoiding the complexity of managing and organizing entire message datasets, as only essential ID elements are extracted and integrated into the output stream.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary extraction and organization of user ID information before the voice stream is generated and transmitted to users. By preparing and inserting ID information in advance during the message processing stage, the system reduces the complexity of real-time message management and organization that would be required if all raw messages were transmitted without preprocessing.
3Speed
If messages are transmitted without reconstruction, then the speed of transmission is improved, but the measurement precision deteriorates because users cannot easily identify message content and senders
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the original message content with user ID information into a single integrated voice stream. By combining these elements in one streamlined transmission rather than sending separate data streams, the system maintains high transmission speed while ensuring that users can identify both message content and senders through the inserted ID information within the same audio flow.

AI summary
Provided is a method of providing a message via an electronic device, including: executing an application that provides messages, which correspond to a plurality of users in a group, as a voice; acquiring a signal for selecting at least one user from the group; generating a voice stream by reconstructing at least one message corresponding to the at least one user based on the acquired signal and the messages corresponding to the plurality of users; and outputting the voice stream.
