Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies lack an objective, reproducible, and automated method to quantify and improve trust in conversations, relying heavily on subjective ratings and lacking a standardized approach to measure trust in interpersonal relationships.

Innovation Solution

The use of deep learning models to construct a system that quantifies trust scores by obtaining voice samples, generating predicted trust scores through a deep-learning network with multiple branches and an aggregation network, and training the network based on the predicted and actual trust scores.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If subjective ratings are used to assess trust, then trust assessment can be performed, but the measurement lacks objectivity and reproducibility

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrust measurement objectivityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces subjective human rating mechanisms with an automated deep learning system that processes audio signals. The deep learning model analyzes voice samples and generates trust scores objectively, eliminating the need for human subjective assessment while maintaining measurement precision.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses self-training mechanisms where the deep learning model automatically learns from audio data and generates trust scores without requiring external human intervention for each assessment. The model continuously improves through training on more data, making the system self-sufficient and reproducible.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If deep learning models with multiple branches are used to quantify trust, then measurement precision improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrust score accuracyVSAvoiddeep learning network complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The deep learning network is divided into multiple independent branches, each processing different aspects of audio data (e.g., tone, rhythm, content). This segmentation allows the system to achieve high measurement precision by analyzing multiple dimensions simultaneously while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple branches of the deep learning network are merged through an aggregation layer that combines their outputs into a final trust score. This merging mechanism integrates the strengths of each branch while distributing the computational load, achieving accurate trust quantification without requiring a single overly complex model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If automated trust scoring is implemented, then productivity increases, but the system requires complex deep learning training processes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrust assessment efficiencyVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary training on a comprehensive dataset of audio samples and trust scores before actual use. This pre-training phase establishes the foundation for rapid, accurate trust assessment during operation. The model learns patterns and relationships in advance, enabling efficient automated scoring without requiring time-consuming analysis during deployment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where predicted trust scores are compared with actual trust assessments, and the model is continuously refined. This feedback loop allows the system to improve its accuracy over time while maintaining high productivity during operation. The feedback mechanism ensures the model adapts to different contexts and improves its training efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
