Solution Overview

Problem

Users of electric tools face inconvenience when needing to search for information or control their devices, as they must use separate devices like mobile phones or computers, rather than being able to do so directly with the tool.

Innovation Solution

Integration of a voice obtaining component, control module, voice processing component, and communications component in electric tools and chargers, allowing users to provide voice commands that are processed and executed to perform tasks, such as searching for information or controlling device functions, through a server.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users use separate devices like mobile phones or computers to search for information or control electric tools, then information search and control functions can be performed, but user convenience deteriorates due to the need to switch between devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidinformation accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the voice recognition component, processing unit, and communication module directly into the electric tool system, merging the information search and control functions with the tool itself. This eliminates the need for separate devices and allows users to interact with the tool using voice commands, thereby improving convenience while maintaining full information accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If voice recognition components are integrated into electric tools, then user convenience improves through direct voice control, but device complexity increases due to additional components

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs the voice recognition system with a processing unit that can handle multiple functions including voice recognition, information searching, and tool control. By creating a multi-functional integrated system, the patent reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each function, thereby improving user convenience while minimizing the increase in device complexity.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If voice processing and communication modules are added to electric tools, then functionality extends to include information search and control, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the voice recognition components, processing unit, and communication modules into the electric tool during the manufacturing process. By performing preliminary integration of these components, the patent enables the tool to have extended functionality for information search and control while managing manufacturing complexity through standardized assembly procedures and pre-configured integrated circuits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An electric tool system, including an electric tool and a charger. The electric tool system includes: a voice obtaining component, obtaining voice information from a user; and a control module, obtaining instruction information generated based on the voice information, and controlling the electric tool system based on the instruction information to perform a corresponding action, where the electric tool system includes: a voice processing component, at least configured to generate information that corresponds to the voice information and satisfies a transmission format of a communications component; and the communications component, sending the information processed by the voice processing component to a server, receiving response information from the server, and providing the response information to the control module, where the instruction information includes the response information. The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: A user may directly send a request by using voice information, thereby conveniently obtaining various required information or implementing various controls, so that an electric tool system becomes a “personal worksite assistant” of the user, thereby extending the functions of the electric tool system.
