Solution Overview

Problem

Existing digital assistant interactions require users to manually select and operate plug-ins, which can be complex and inefficient, especially for users unfamiliar with the available tools.

Innovation Solution

The method provides scenario-based interaction by presenting operation controls associated with specific scenarios within an interaction window, allowing users to select scenarios and trigger corresponding operations without needing to manually select plug-ins.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users manually select and operate plug-ins for digital assistant interaction, then the system can provide diverse functions, but the interaction process becomes complex and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction diversityVSAvoidinteraction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the interaction process into scenario-based modules. Each scenario is pre-configured with a sequence of operations and corresponding plug-ins, allowing users to select entire scenario packages rather than manually configuring individual functions. This segmentation reduces operational complexity while maintaining functional diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring scenarios with predetermined operation sequences and plug-in combinations before user interaction. Users benefit from ready-to-execute scenarios that have been prepared in advance, eliminating the need for manual configuration and reducing interaction complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If users manually select plug-ins, then the system can adapt to user needs, but the interaction efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser need adaptationVSAvoidinteraction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Scenarios are pre-configured with optimal plug-in combinations and operation sequences tailored to common user needs. This preliminary preparation allows the system to adapt to user requirements efficiently by executing pre-optimized scenarios rather than requiring real-time manual selection and configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides self-service through automated scenario execution. Once a user selects a scenario, the system automatically executes the predetermined operation sequence and manages the plug-ins without requiring manual intervention for each step, thereby improving interaction efficiency while maintaining adaptability to user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If the interaction interface provides detailed operation controls, then users can perform precise tasks, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask precisionVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into scenario-based sections, where each scenario presents a simplified, context-specific set of operation controls. Users interact with discrete scenario modules rather than a monolithic complex interface, achieving precise task control without overwhelming interface complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each scenario provides locally optimized operation controls tailored to its specific function. The interface adapts its complexity and control granularity to the local requirements of each scenario, presenting detailed controls only when needed within a specific scenario context rather than throughout the entire interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
