Computer-generated speech device for site survey and maintenance

A method for surveying and/or maintaining a site using a computer-generated speech device, comprising:

• identifying, using input data, a plurality of events associated with a plurality of nodes that form a network at a site that require maintenance, wherein the site includes a plurality of regions;
• prioritizing the plurality of events at the site based on level of criticality, region, and number of events in each region, using input data associated with the plurality of nodes and selecting an event based on the criticality, the region, and the number of events in each region;
• identifying a new event that has not been previously a part of the plurality of events, wherein the new event occurs during the survey and/or maintenance of the site and prioritizing the plurality of events including the new event;
• converting computer-readable instructions associated with the selected event among the plurality of prioritized events to computer-generated speech;
• broadcasting the computer-generated speech using a speaker component of the computer-generated speech device to inform a user of the selected event;
• broadcasting an alert in response to the priority of the new event;
• broadcasting directions, based on the plurality of prioritized events, to a location of the selected event as computer-generated speech using the speaker component to guide the user to the location;
• and
• processing a speech command to determine root cause of the event, received using a microphone component of the computer-generated speech device, in response to the processed speech command, identifying if there is a change in a signal strength between historical data and current data of a node of the plurality of nodes and in response to identifying the change in the signal strength, determining the root cause of the event is a change in infrastructure, and in response to not identifying the change to the signal strength, identifying if there is a change in channel interference between the historical data and the current data of the node and in response to identifying there is a change in channel interference, determining the root cause of the event is an external system interfering at the same channel as the node.

A computer-generated speech device for site survey, comprising:

• a location engine to:
• determine a location of the computer-generated speech device at a site, wherein the site includes a plurality of regions;
• and
• determine a location of a plurality of nodes at the site;
• a solution engine to:
• identify an event, among a plurality of events, wherein the event is associated with a node among the plurality of nodes using input data associated with the node;
• prioritize the plurality of events based on level of criticality, region, and number of events in each region and select an event based on the prioritization;
• identify a new event that has not been previously a part of the plurality of events, wherein the new event occurs during the survey and/or maintenance of the site and prioritize the plurality of events including the new event;
• and
• determine directions to guide a user to the node associated with the selected event using the determined location of the computer-generated speech and the determined location of the node;
• a speech engine to:
• convert the identified event and determined directions to computer-generated speech;
• and
• broadcast the computer-generated speech and an alert in response to the priority of the new event using a speaker component of the computer-generated speech device;
• and
• a speech recognition engine to process a speech command to determine root cause of the event, received using a microphone component of the computer-generated speech device, wherein the solution engine, in response to the processed speech command, identifies if there is a change in a signal strength between historical data and current data of a node of the plurality of nodes and in response to identifying the change in the signal strength, determines the root cause of the event is a change in infrastructure, and in response to not identifying the change to the signal strength, identifies if there is a change in channel interference between the historical data and the current data of the node and in response to identifying there is a change in channel interference, determines the root cause of the event is an external system interfering at the same channel as the node.
