Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing smart glasses are equipped with basic functions like music playback and calls, then the device complexity increases, but the functionality remains limited and user stickiness is low

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The smart glasses are designed to perform multiple functions including speech pickup, translation, music playback, and calls. The translation function is integrated as a core capability that works alongside other basic functions, making the device versatile without requiring separate specialized equipment for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

A cloud server acts as an intermediary between the smart glasses and the translation processing. The glasses pickup speech and send it to the cloud server for translation, which then returns the translated speech. This intermediary approach allows complex translation functionality to be achieved without burdening the glasses device itself with excessive processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If translation function is added to smart glasses, then the intelligence and practicality improve, but the device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveintelligenceVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cloud server serves as an intermediary that handles the complex translation processing. The smart glasses only need to perform speech pickup and playback, while the intelligence-intensive translation work is offloaded to the cloud, maintaining device simplicity while achieving high intelligence in the overall system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The translation functionality is achieved by replacing complex local processing mechanisms with cloud-based AI processing. Instead of embedding sophisticated translation engines in the glasses, the system uses network communication to substitute mechanical processing with remote intelligent processing.

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

3Measurement precision

If cloud-based LLM translation is used, then translation accuracy improves, but the loss of time for speech conversion increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetranslation accuracyVSAvoidtranslation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system maintains continuous speech flow by processing translation in real-time as speech is picked up. The cloud server continuously receives speech segments, translates them, and returns translated speech without significant interruptions, ensuring the translation process flows continuously rather than in batch operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The system processes speech translation in efficient segments, rushing through the conversion process by sending speech to the cloud server and quickly receiving the translated output. This segmented rapid processing minimizes the perceived time loss while maintaining high translation accuracy through the LLM.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #21Skipping (Rushing through)

AI summary

A translation system, smart glasses for translation and a translation method based on artificial intelligence are provided. The translation system includes first smart glasses, a first smart mobile terminal and a cloud server configured with LLM(s). The smart glasses pick up a first speech in a first language from preset direction and send it to the first terminal. The first terminal converts the first speech into a first text and sends it to the cloud server. The cloud server translates, through the LLM(s), the first text to obtain a second text in a second language according to a translation prompt and sends it to the first terminal. The first terminal converts the second text into a second speech and sends it to the first smart glasses for playback. The present application realizes the high precision intelligent translation based on the smart glasses, and increases the user stickiness in the product.
