Solution Overview

Problem

Existing AI secretary services primarily rely on voice recognition, which can be inconvenient for users as they require listening to lengthy voice information, lacking visual interaction and feedback.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device equipped with cameras and a processor that detects user position and emotion, displaying graphic objects on a display and adjusting them based on user interactions, including voice and motion recognition, to provide visual feedback and services.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If voice recognition is used for AI secretary service, then the service can be provided through simple hardware, but the user experience deteriorates due to lengthy voice information and lack of visual feedback

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehardware complexityVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines voice recognition and motion recognition systems into a unified AI secretary service. The motion recognition component captures user gestures through cameras and sensors, while voice recognition handles auditory inputs. Both modalities are processed together to generate comprehensive user interaction understanding, providing both visual and auditory feedback channels to enhance user experience without significantly increasing hardware complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a visual dimension to the traditionally voice-only AI secretary service by incorporating motion recognition. User gestures and body movements are captured in the visual domain, processed alongside voice commands, and presented through visual feedback on displays. This multi-dimensional approach (adding visual dimension to auditory-only interaction) enriches the user experience while maintaining reasonable system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If motion recognition is added to AI secretary service, then visual feedback and user interaction are improved, but device complexity increases due to additional sensors and processing requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a multi-functional recognition system where the same hardware components (cameras, sensors, processors) serve multiple purposes. The motion recognition system uses cameras and image processing algorithms that can also function for user authentication, background monitoring, and contextual understanding. The voice recognition system similarly handles both command recognition and emotional tone analysis. This multi-functionality approach allows enhanced user experience through combined modalities while controlling system complexity through shared hardware resources.

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

AI summary

An electronic device including a display, a sensor, and a processor. The processor is configured to, based on an interaction mode which is operated according to a user interaction being initiated, control the sensor to detect a position of a user, control the display to display a graphic object at a position corresponding to the detected position, and change, based on the user interaction being input in the interaction mode, the graphic object and control the display to provide feedback regarding the user interaction.
