Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current human interface devices using voice commands and automatic speech recognition (ASR) technologies face challenges in controlling remote devices, especially when they are not in the same acoustic space, as they rely on unreliable sound detection and lack efficient mechanisms for transmitting user intentions over wireless connections.
Innovation Solution
A command device with processors that establish wireless connections, generate intention codes based on eye gaze or gestures, and initiate wireless transfers to control remote devices, allowing control even when devices are not in a shared acoustic space, using various wireless technologies like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cellular systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If voice commands and ASR technologies are used to control remote devices, then user interaction is enabled, but control reliability deteriorates when devices are not in the same acoustic space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary device (such as a smartphone or tablet) that acts as a mediator between the user and remote devices. This intermediary captures voice commands locally, processes them through ASR, and transmits the interpreted commands wirelessly to target devices. This resolves the contradiction by enabling reliable control across acoustic spaces through the intermediary's wireless communication capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the acoustic-based voice command transmission mechanism with an electronic wireless communication mechanism. Instead of relying on sound waves to reach the target device, the system converts voice commands into digital signals that are transmitted via wireless protocols (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular), thereby enabling reliable control independent of acoustic space constraints.
2Adaptability or versatility
If wireless connections are established between command device and remote devices, then control range is extended, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs universal wireless communication protocols (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular) that enable the command device to communicate with multiple types of remote devices through a single interface. This multi-functionality approach extends control range across different acoustic spaces while managing system complexity by using standardized, widely-supported communication technologies rather than requiring custom solutions for each device type.
3Productivity
If intention codes are transmitted wirelessly to control remote devices, then control efficiency is improved, but information transmission requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms complex voice commands and control intentions into compressed intention codes that capture the essential control parameters. By changing the representation from full voice command transcripts to structured intention codes (which encode target device identity, command type, and relevant parameters), the system improves control efficiency while reducing information transmission requirements through data compression and parameter optimization.
Data Source
AI summary
Various embodiments provide systems and methods which disclose a command device which can be used to establish a wireless connection, through one or more wireless channels, between the command device and a remote device. An intention code may be generated, prior to, or after, the establishment of the wireless connection, and the remote device may be selected based on the intention code. The command device may initiate a wireless transfer, through one or more wireless channels of the established wireless connection, of an intention code, and receive acknowledgement that the intention code was successfully transferred to the remote device. The command device may then control the remote device, based on the intention code sent to the remote device, through the one or more wireless channels of the established wireless connection between the command device and the remote device.
