Solution Overview

Problem

Existing voice recognition error correction systems lack sufficient accuracy and efficiency due to their general approach, which does not consider the specific field or content of the conversation.

Innovation Solution

A conversation analysis system that identifies the field and summary of the conversation to ascertain easily misrecognized speech terms, using a voice analysis unit, topic ascertaining unit, topic-related correction term storage unit, and conversation correction unit to provide more accurate and prompt corrections.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a general correction engine is used to correct voice recognition errors, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but the correction accuracy is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecorrection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of the conversation field and summary before correction. The topic ascertaining unit determines the conversation field and generates a summary in advance, which then guides the selection of appropriate correction terms from the storage unit, improving accuracy without requiring complex real-time processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary structure (topic-related correction term storage unit) that stores pre-prepared correction terms organized by conversation field and summary. This intermediary layer bridges the simple correction engine and the need for accurate, context-specific corrections, allowing the system to maintain operational simplicity while achieving high correction accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If field-specific correction terms are stored and used, then correction accuracy improves, but the storage and processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecorrection accuracyVSAvoiddata structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The correction term storage is segmented by conversation field and summary categories. Each segment contains correction terms specific to that field-summary combination, allowing the system to retrieve only relevant corrections without processing the entire database, thus managing complexity through structured organization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different correction terms are stored for different conversation fields and summaries, ensuring that each local segment (field-summary combination) has its own specialized correction vocabulary. This local quality approach allows high accuracy for each specific context while maintaining an organized, manageable overall structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If the conversation topic is analyzed before correction, then correction precision improves, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecorrection precisionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The topic analysis (field determination and summary generation) is performed as a preliminary step before correction. By establishing the conversation context in advance, the system can quickly retrieve appropriate correction terms without performing complex analysis during the correction phase, thereby improving precision while managing processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the conversation field and summary as feedback to guide the correction process. The topic ascertaining unit provides feedback about the conversation context, which then directs the correction unit to select appropriate terms from the storage unit, creating an efficient feedback loop that improves precision without excessive time loss

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
