Voicemail Text Conversion System for Wireless Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional voice mail systems require users to dial in and enter authentication codes to access voice mails, which is time-consuming.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that converts voice mails into text messages or emails using a speech-to-text conversion algorithm and delivers them to wireless computing devices, allowing users to access voice mails without dialing in, using a predefined speech-to-text conversion algorithm and authentication codes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the recipient dials into the voice mail system and enters an authentication code to retrieve voice mail, then the voice mail can be securely accessed, but it takes a significant amount of time
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically converting voice mail to text and sending notifications to the recipient's device before they need to access the voice mail. This preliminary conversion and notification eliminates the need for the recipient to dial in and navigate the voice mail system, significantly reducing access time while maintaining security through authentication code verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that acts as a bridge between the voice mail system and the recipient's device. This intermediary automatically retrieves, converts, and delivers voice mail content to the recipient's mobile device, eliminating the need for the recipient to directly interact with the traditional voice mail system and reducing access time while maintaining security protocols.
2Reliability
If the voice mail system requires dialing in and authentication, then security is maintained, but the operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically handling the retrieval, conversion, and delivery of voice mail content without requiring the recipient to manually dial in or navigate complex voice mail menus. The system serves itself by performing these tasks automatically, maintaining security through authentication while greatly simplifying the user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical interaction of dialing into a voice mail system with an electronic automated process. Instead of requiring the recipient to use a telephone to dial and navigate voice mail menus, the system uses automated electronic retrieval, speech-to-text conversion, and text message delivery to simplify access while maintaining security.
3Loss of information
If voice mail is delivered as traditional audio only, then the content is preserved accurately, but the user must spend time listening to the entire message
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies parameter changes by converting the voice mail from audio format to text format using speech-to-text conversion. This parameter change in the medium of delivery allows users to quickly scan and read the content at their own pace, significantly reducing the time required to consume the message while maintaining the accuracy of the original content through the conversion process.
