Context-Based Macro Naming for Voice-Operated Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in determining memorable macro names for registered macros in voice-operated devices, leading to complications in registration and usage, as they must explicitly define macro names or rely on system-generated names that may not be easily recallable.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with an utterance learning adaptation unit that clusters function execution instructions and estimates macros, automatically determining a name based on the context of the instructions, allowing for easier registration and recall of macros through context-based naming.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually determine macro names, then macro registration is possible, but user burden increases and memorability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates macro names by analyzing the sequence and content of function execution instructions, eliminating the need for user intervention in naming. The macro name is derived from the contextual information of the instructions themselves, allowing the system to serve itself in the naming task.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs name determination in advance during the macro registration process, before the user needs to use the macro. By pre-generating meaningful names based on instruction analysis, the system prepares the macro ready for use without requiring later name recall or modification.
2Ease of operation
If system generates macro names automatically, then registration process is simplified, but name memorability may be insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts specific contextual characteristics from each function execution instruction (such as target objects, actions, and parameters) and incorporates them into the macro name. This localized extraction of meaningful attributes ensures that the generated name reflects the specific function sequence rather than using generic naming.
Solution Approach 2:
The system analyzes the user's actual usage patterns and the contextual information from function execution instructions to generate names that provide feedback about what the macro does. This creates a naming system that adapts to user needs and provides meaningful cues for recall.
3Loss of information
If context-based macro naming is implemented, then macro recallability improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system breaks down the function execution instructions into discrete contextual elements (such as action types, target objects, and parameters) and processes each segment separately. This segmentation allows the complex naming task to be divided into manageable analysis steps, reducing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediate processing layer that analyzes function execution instructions and generates name components. This intermediary process acts as a mediator between the raw instructions and the final macro name, simplifying the overall architecture by separating the analysis and naming generation functions.
