Solution Overview

Problem

Current electronic devices can only communicate with a single artificial intelligence server, leading to inaccurate information processing when the server has not learned the requested information.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device capable of communicating with multiple artificial intelligence servers, using a voice receiving unit and a controller that generates different starting words for each server, converts the voice input, and outputs result information based on evaluation scores calculated from the responses received from the servers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a terminal communicates with only a single artificial intelligence server, then the device complexity is reduced, but the information processing accuracy deteriorates when the server has not learned the requested information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of artificial intelligence serversVSAvoidinformation processing accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the artificial intelligence processing function across multiple independent servers instead of relying on a single server. The terminal device maintains communication with multiple AI servers (first AI server, second AI server, etc.), each potentially specializing in different information domains. This segmentation allows the system to distribute the information processing load and access diverse knowledge bases, thereby improving information processing accuracy while maintaining manageable device complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If multiple artificial intelligence servers with different starting words are used, then the information processing accuracy is enhanced, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to requiring multiple different starting words

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation processing accuracyVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal starting word mechanism that enables a single input word to activate multiple artificial intelligence servers simultaneously. Instead of requiring users to learn and input different starting words for each AI server (which would reduce ease of operation), the system allows one starting word to function universally across multiple servers. This multi-functional approach maintains user convenience while still leveraging the enhanced information processing accuracy that comes from querying multiple specialized AI servers.

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

3Measurement precision

If multiple artificial intelligence servers are activated simultaneously, then the information processing accuracy is improved through multiple perspectives, but the device complexity increases due to managing multiple communication nodes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation processing accuracyVSAvoidcommunication node management
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a controller as an intermediary component that manages communication between the terminal device and multiple artificial intelligence servers. The controller receives user input, determines which AI servers to query based on the input characteristics, and coordinates the communication with these servers. This intermediary layer simplifies the complexity of managing multiple communication nodes by providing a centralized control mechanism that automatically handles server selection and coordination, thereby maintaining information processing accuracy through multiple server queries while reducing the operational burden on the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Productivity

If a single starting word activates multiple artificial intelligence servers, then the productivity is enhanced by simultaneous processing, but the loss of information increases due to potential redundant or conflicting responses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation processing speedVSAvoidresponse accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the controller receives responses from multiple artificial intelligence servers and evaluates them to determine the most appropriate answer. The controller compares the responses received from different servers, assesses their relevance and accuracy, and selects the best response to present to the user. This feedback loop ensures that while multiple servers process information simultaneously (enhancing productivity), the system maintains response accuracy by filtering and evaluating the multiple responses rather than simply presenting all of them, thereby preventing information loss or confusion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
