Display Apparatus Voice Control via Server Content Search
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display apparatuses can only provide limited services by responding to specific keywords in voice signals, failing to offer various resulting screens based on a user's intended actions or the status of the content displayed.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus and server system that includes a microphone to receive voice signals, a controller to generate resulting screens, and a communicator to transmit status information and text to a server for searching and retrieving designated content, allowing the display of different screens based on user input and content status.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display apparatus only responds to specific keywords in voice signals, then the system complexity is reduced, but the service capability and user intention recognition are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that handles the complex voice signal processing and content search tasks. The display apparatus transmits voice signals to the server, which then performs keyword extraction, content matching, and returns search results. This mediator approach enables enhanced service capability while keeping the display apparatus itself relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The server is designed to handle multiple functions including voice signal processing, keyword extraction, content search across different sources, and result formatting. This multi-functional server consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate components, enabling versatile service capability without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display apparatus provides limited services based on keywords only, then the ease of operation is maintained, but the adaptability to user intentions is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables the display apparatus to automatically process user voice inputs without requiring manual navigation or selection. The apparatus captures voice signals, transmits them to the server for processing, and automatically displays the search results or relevant content. This self-service approach enhances adaptability to user intentions while maintaining ease of operation through voice-based control.
3Speed
If the display apparatus processes all voice signal analysis locally, then the response speed is improved, but the device complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the voice processing workflow into distinct stages: local voice signal capture by the display apparatus, server-side keyword extraction and content search, and result transmission back to the display apparatus. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specialized function efficiently, achieving fast response times without requiring the display apparatus to handle all processing complexity locally.

AI summary
A display apparatus, including a microphone configured to receive a voice signal and a controller configured to generate a resulting screen corresponding to the voice signal different from a first displayed screen and according to a status of the content of the first displayed screen; to display the resulting screen on the display. Accordingly, the display apparatus provides a different resulting screen according to a status of the display apparatus.
