Context-Aware Information Processing Device for Seamless Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication technologies fail to provide effective context-aware communication support between users and communication targets, leading to increased communication load due to differences in contexts, as they only translate speech without considering the specific contexts of both parties.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that recognizes the intention of a user or communication target in one context and generates corresponding information for output in another context, allowing seamless communication without the need for users to acknowledge context differences, using a control section that includes a context recognizer, intention recognizer, and output converter to convert actions into context-appropriate outputs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If speech translation technology is used to translate input speech into another language, then language barriers are overcome, but context differences between user and communication target are not addressed
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces a context information generation unit that creates context information about the communication target, serving as an intermediary to bridge the gap between user intent and target context. This mediator translates not just language but also contextual frameworks, allowing the user to communicate in their native context while the system adapts it to the target's context without requiring the user to consciously manage context differences
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by proactively generating and providing context information about the communication target before the user needs to communicate. The context information generation unit creates relevant context data in advance, and the context information provision unit makes this information available to the user, allowing the user to communicate naturally without needing to actively manage or acknowledge context differences
2Measurement precision
If users must acknowledge and manage context differences between themselves and communication targets, then communication accuracy improves, but communication effort increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically generating context information about the communication target and providing it to the user without requiring the user to manually research or manage context differences. The context information generation unit autonomously creates relevant context data, and the provision unit delivers it to the user, allowing communication to proceed with high accuracy while minimizing the user's time and effort investment
3Ease of operation
If comprehensive context information is provided to users, then communication support improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by providing context information that is specifically tailored to the communication target and situation rather than providing generic or comprehensive context data. The context information generation unit creates targeted context information relevant to the specific communication scenario, and the provision unit delivers only the necessary context data to the user, improving communication support while avoiding unnecessary system complexity

AI summary
Provided is an information processing device including a control section that recognizes an intention of a first action subject on a basis of an action performed by the first action subject in a first context, generates information indicating the intention of the first action subject in a second context of the second action subject, and causes the information to be outputted to the second action subject. The first action subject is one of a user or a communication target of the user. The second action subject is another of the user or the communication target of the user.
