Solution Overview

Problem

Users face the inconvenience of needing to perform additional voice recognition on numbers after recognizing text with duplicated links in webpages, requiring multiple voice commands to access desired links.

Innovation Solution

A display device with a control unit that searches for duplicated text, assigns numbers to relevant text contents, and allows access to links via single voice recognition, using a microphone and display unit to sequentially display numbers alongside text contents, enabling direct link access through voice commands.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If voice recognition is performed on text contents with duplicated links, then the user can identify multiple links, but the user must perform additional voice recognition on numbers to access the desired link

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelink identification accuracyVSAvoidtime for voice recognition operations
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The control unit performs preliminary action by automatically assigning numbers to text contents with duplicated links before the user issues voice commands. This pre-processing step creates a structured mapping between text contents and their corresponding link numbers, enabling the user to access desired links with a single voice recognition operation rather than multiple sequential operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If numbers are assigned to all text contents, then link access becomes simpler, but the device complexity increases due to text processing requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelink access convenienceVSAvoidtext processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control unit applies local quality by assigning numbers only to specific text contents that have duplicated links, rather than numbering all text contents uniformly. This selective approach maintains ease of operation for links that need disambiguation while avoiding unnecessary processing complexity for text contents without duplication issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis to identify which text contents have duplicated links before assigning numbers. This pre-processing step creates a filtered set of text contents that require numbering, reducing the overall processing burden compared to numbering all text contents, while still providing easy access to duplicated links.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Provided is a display device including a microphone, a display, and a controller configured to cause the display to display a webpage, search duplicate text within the webpage, cause the display to display sequential numbers each correspondingly displayed at one side of each of a plurality of contents including the searched duplicate text, and access a link corresponding to a selected one of the displayed sequential numbers in response to a voice command received via the microphone indicating the selected sequential number.
