Home Appliance Intent Translation for Reliable Voice Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing voice command systems fail to accurately interpret the intent of a user's command due to the lack of consideration for the characteristics of different home appliances, leading to erroneous transmissions and inefficient control.
Innovation Solution
A system that includes a display device and a server, capable of receiving a voice command, analyzing the intent, and converting it into a control command suitable for the specific home appliance, ensuring accurate and efficient operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If intent-based control is used for home appliances, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to erroneous intent transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intent analysis translator as an intermediary component that converts the first intent command (from display device) into a second intent command (suitable for home appliance). This translator acts as a mediator that ensures accurate transmission of user intent while adapting to the specific characteristics of different home appliance types, thereby maintaining reliability without compromising ease of operation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If universal NLP engine is provided for all home appliances, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the intent processing functionality by introducing an intent analysis translator that is specifically configured for different types of home appliances. Instead of implementing a single complex universal NLP engine in all devices, the system divides the processing into: (1) display device that captures user intent, (2) translator that adapts intent to appliance-specific format, and (3) home appliance that executes commands. This segmentation reduces device complexity while maintaining adaptability across different appliance types.

AI summary
A home appliance according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can include: a transceiver configured to perform communication with a display device and a server; and a processor configured to receive text data corresponding to a voice command uttered by a user from the display device through the transceiver, acquire an intent of the received text data, generate a first control command including a first intent command indicating the acquired intent, convert the first intent command included in the first control command into a second intent command suitable for the home appliance, generate a second control command including the converted second intent command, and perform an operation according to the generated second control command.
