Automated Interactive Test System for Reducing Human Variability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Interactive test methods relying on manual staff intervention are prone to errors due to variations in accents, speaking speeds, and gestures, leading to reduced accuracy and increased labor costs, with manual comparison of test data also being time-consuming and prone to mistakes.
Innovation Solution
An interactive test method and system that automatically identifies the product to be tested, determines test conditions, and transmits instructions to actuating and test devices to perform tests based on attribute information, such as pronunciation and gesture characteristics, allowing for automated comparison of test data with test cases to obtain accurate results.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual test staff perform tests with speech and gestures, then human interaction is achieved, but test accuracy decreases due to variations in accents, speaking speeds, and gestures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses test devices to generate standardized test speech and gestures that copy the required interaction patterns. Instead of relying on variable human performance, the system creates repeatable copies of test interactions through automated devices, ensuring consistent and accurate testing across multiple trials.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of human speech and gesture production with automated test devices. These devices can precisely control speaking speed, accent, and gesture parameters, eliminating the variability inherent in manual human performance while maintaining the interactive testing capability.
2Reliability
If manual test staff compare test data with test cases, then test results are obtained, but time consumption increases and errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of comparing test data with test cases using automated electronic comparison. The processing unit automatically compares obtained test data with expected test case data, eliminating human error in comparison while significantly reducing the time required for this critical verification step.
Solution Approach 2:
The testing system performs self-verification by automatically comparing its own test results against predetermined test cases. The system independently validates its measurements without requiring external human intervention, thereby reducing both time consumption and potential human error in the comparison process.
3Measurement precision
If automated test devices are used with standardized speech and gestures, then test accuracy improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the testing system into separate functional modules: test case management units, test execution units, data collection units, and comparison units. Each module performs a specific function, making the overall complex system manageable through modular design. This segmentation allows standardized speech and gesture testing while organizing complexity into discrete, maintainable components.
4Adaptability or versatility
If manual testing is performed, then flexibility in test scenarios is maintained, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic test case management where test scenarios can be modified and updated without requiring complete system redesign. The test case management unit allows flexible adjustment of test parameters, speech patterns, and gesture requirements while the automated execution maintains high productivity. This dynamic capability enables adaptability comparable to manual testing while preserving automated efficiency.
