Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing systems face challenges in easily associating electronic apparatuses with AI speakers for sound control functions, requiring complex user registration and application installation processes.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system comprising a reception apparatus, a first server for converting sound instructions into text data, and a second server that generates and transmits control commands to electronic apparatuses, using identification information to create association information by matching input passwords with generated passwords, thereby simplifying the association process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If complex user registration and application installation processes are used to associate electronic apparatuses with AI speakers, then security and reliability of the association are improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassociation securityVSAvoidassociation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the complex registration and application installation steps from the association process, retaining only the essential password input step. The system automatically handles device identification and association data generation, so users only need to input a password displayed on their terminal, dramatically simplifying operation while maintaining security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary association processing device that mediates between the user terminal and the electronic apparatus. This intermediary automatically generates association information, verifies passwords, and establishes connections, eliminating the need for manual registration and application installation while ensuring secure association

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If manual registration processes are required for associating devices, then control and security over associations are improved, but productivity and speed of association deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassociation controlVSAvoidassociation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by having the association processing device automatically generate association information and prepare connection parameters before the user completes the password input. The system pre-configures device identification data and association details, so that upon password verification, the association is immediately established without requiring manual registration steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by allowing the association processing device to automatically perform device identification, association information generation, and connection establishment without manual intervention. The user simply inputs the displayed password, and the system autonomously completes the entire association process, significantly improving productivity while maintaining security control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An information processing system includes a first sound reception apparatus, a first server, and a second server. The first sound reception apparatus includes an input unit and a communication unit. The input unit receives an input password. The communication unit transmits the input password and identification information regarding the first sound reception apparatus. The second server includes a generation unit, a determination unit, and an information generation unit. The determination unit determines whether the input password and the generated password match. The information generation unit generates first association information on the basis of a result of the determination made by the determination unit.
