Solution Overview

Problem

Current voice recognition systems require users to memorize specific voice commands for executing commands, making it impossible to execute commands through voice recognition if the user is unaware of the reserved words.

Innovation Solution

A control method and device that displays icons in a predetermined order, senses the entrance of a voice command mode, extracts text corresponding to the icons using a memory, and executes the icon if a voice command corresponding to the text is recognized, allowing for dynamic text display and user input.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If voice recognition is implemented with reserved commands, then voice command execution capability is improved, but user usability deteriorates because users must memorize specific voice commands in advance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoice command execution capabilityVSAvoiduser usability
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system displays the text corresponding to each icon in advance on the display screen before voice recognition is activated. This preliminary display of text information allows users to see what commands are available without needing to memorize them, thereby resolving the contradiction between automated voice execution and ease of use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Text display serves as an intermediary between the icon and the voice command. Instead of directly requiring voice recognition of commands, the system first presents text representations of available commands through the display, making the voice recognition process more accessible to users who cannot memorize commands

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If text corresponding to icons is always displayed, then user understanding of commands is improved, but device complexity and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommand information visibilityVSAvoiddisplay energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The display shows text corresponding to icons periodically or temporarily when specific conditions are met (such as when the device is in a standby state or when a user interacts with the interface), rather than continuously displaying all text. This periodic display reduces energy consumption while still providing necessary information to users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The text display is made dynamic rather than static - it appears and disappears based on device state, user interaction, or timing conditions. This dynamic behavior allows the system to provide information when needed while consuming minimal energy when the text is not displayed, resolving the contradiction between information visibility and energy consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Disclosed are a display device capable of voice recognition and a control method thereof. A display device, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises a display module which displays, on a first region, at least one icon arranged in a preset order; a sensing module which senses an action for entering a voice command mode; a memory for storing at least one item of data; and a controller which refers to the memory, and extracts text corresponding to the icon that is displayed on the first region, wherein the controller controls such as that the extracted text is displayed on a second region, and, if a voice command corresponding to the text displayed on the second region is recognized, the icon displayed on the first region is activated.
