Solution Overview

Problem

Current speech wake-up technologies face challenges in accuracy and false alarm rates, particularly in dynamic environments, and require manual intervention and significant memory resources, limiting their application in portable devices.

Innovation Solution

The method constructs a network for identifying wake-up words using a preset garbage word list and approximate pronunciation information, allowing for dynamic network creation for customized wake-up words, reducing false alarms, and optimizing for low power consumption and memory usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional language models are used for speech wake-up recognition, then recognition coverage is improved, but memory resource consumption increases and false alarm rate increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewake-up recognition accuracyVSAvoidmemory resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the language model component from the speech recognition system, replacing it with a garbage word list. This extraction eliminates the high memory consumption associated with language models while maintaining wake-up recognition functionality through a simplified approach that focuses only on distinguishing wake-up words from garbage sounds.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the expensive, memory-intensive language model with a cheap, lightweight garbage word list that can be easily stored and processed. This substitution uses minimal memory resources while effectively identifying wake-up words, making the system suitable for portable devices with limited resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

2Ease of operation

If traditional speech wake-up technology is used, then basic wake-up functionality is achieved, but false alarm rate increases in dynamic environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewake-up functionalityVSAvoidfalse alarm rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary classification by categorizing input sounds as either garbage words or potential wake-up words before conducting detailed recognition. This preliminary action filters out background noise and irrelevant sounds, significantly reducing false alarms in dynamic environments while maintaining ease of wake-up operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the speech recognition process into distinct stages: garbage word detection, wake-up word identification, and command processing. This segmentation allows the system to handle different types of inputs appropriately, reducing false alarms by preventing garbage sounds from triggering wake-up operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If manual intervention is required for wake-up operations, then control precision is improved, but operation complexity increases and automation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewake-up control precisionVSAvoidautomatic wake-up operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a self-service wake-up system where the device automatically detects and processes wake-up words without requiring manual intervention. The system autonomously distinguishes between garbage sounds and valid wake-up commands, providing both high automation and precise control through the garbage word list filtering mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors input sounds, compares them against the garbage word list, and adjusts its recognition behavior based on the results. This feedback loop enables automatic wake-up operations with high precision by learning from and adapting to different acoustic environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
