Agent Server Attribute Segmentation for Multi-Object Voice Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users with multiple objects equipped with agent functions face difficulties in determining which information is supplied by which agent function, leading to confusion and inefficiency.
Innovation Solution
An agent system and server configuration that includes attribute information associated with each agent function, allowing users to easily identify and manage agent functions on multiple objects, such as vehicles, by providing this information to a portable mobile terminal, and enabling a predetermined agent function to control vehicle operations and proxy responses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple agent functions are mounted on multiple objects, then the service coverage and functionality are improved, but the user cannot determine which information is supplied by which agent function, leading to confusion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information provided by agent functions by associating each response with attribute information identifying the specific agent function and object. This segmentation allows users to distinguish which information comes from which agent function, resolving the confusion while maintaining multiple agent functions across different objects.
2Ease of operation
If attribute information is provided to identify agent functions, then user identification is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an information provider as an intermediary component that manages the association between response content and attribute information. This intermediary handles the complexity of tracking and identifying multiple agent functions, keeping the system organized without requiring users to directly manage the complexity.
3Extent of automation
If a predetermined agent function controls vehicle operations and proxies responses, then the vehicle control capability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes a predetermined agent function universal by enabling it to perform multiple roles: controlling vehicle operations directly and proxying responses from other agent functions. This multi-functionality allows one agent function to handle various control tasks without requiring separate dedicated control mechanisms for each function.

AI summary
According to an embodiment, an agent system includes: a plurality of agent functions mounted on a plurality of different objects and configured to each provide a service which includes a service for causing an output to output a response by a voice in response to a speech of a user; and an information provider configured to include attribute information associated with the same kind of agent function in response content by the same kind of agent function and provide the attribute information to a portable mobile terminal of the user when the same kind of agent function is in the plurality of objects among the plurality of agent functions.
