Solution Overview

Problem

Existing digital assistant interactions are cumbersome, with conventional input methods being either too complex or inefficient, lacking a concise and efficient modality for user interaction.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a scene selection entry, local resource addition entry, and a first input provision entry in an interaction interface, allowing users to interact with digital assistants through voice or text input modes, with optional mode switching for enhanced efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional input methods are used for digital assistant interaction, then text input can be provided, but the interaction process becomes complex and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction efficiencyVSAvoidinput method complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interaction interface is segmented into distinct functional entries: a first input provision entry for voice input, a second input provision entry for text input, and a resource addition entry. This segmentation allows users to choose the most appropriate input method for their needs, simplifying the interaction process while maintaining multiple input options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent inverts the conventional approach by prioritizing voice input as the primary interaction method rather than text input. The first input provision entry for voice input is displayed prominently, allowing users to interact with the digital assistant through natural speech, thereby improving interaction efficiency and reducing the complexity associated with traditional text-based interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Ease of operation

If multiple input modes are provided, then user convenience is improved, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interaction interface is designed with multi-functionality, incorporating both voice input (first input provision entry) and text input (second input provision entry) capabilities within a single unified interface. This allows the interface to serve multiple input purposes without requiring separate applications or complex configurations, thereby improving user convenience while maintaining interface simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The resource addition functionality is extracted as a separate, dedicated entry (resource addition entry) distinct from the input provisions. This extraction simplifies the overall interface structure by clearly separating resource management functions from input functions, making the interface easier to navigate while still providing comprehensive functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
