Electronic Apparatus Command Identification for Speech Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when trying to access speech recognition functions on electronic devices that are not connected to a network or lack necessary information for registration, leading to confusion due to different names and speech recognition systems.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus with a processor that identifies commands based on audio signals, determines the state of connected devices, and transmits necessary information to perform functions, including network connections and account logins, using a natural language processing engine and provisional information for secure and convenient operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the electronic apparatus transmits necessary information (network credentials, authentication data) to external apparatuses to enable speech recognition functions, then the ease of operation is improved, but security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic apparatus performs preliminary actions by proactively transmitting necessary information (network credentials, authentication data) to external apparatuses before the user needs to use speech recognition functions. This eliminates the need for users to manually configure network settings or register accounts on each device, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining security through controlled information sharing
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic apparatus acts as an intermediary that mediates between the user and external apparatuses. It receives user commands, determines the appropriate external apparatus to interact with, and transmits necessary information securely. This intermediary role allows the system to manage security risks centrally while providing convenient access to speech recognition functions across multiple devices
2Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic apparatus identifies and interacts with multiple external apparatuses for speech recognition functions, then the adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic apparatus implements universal functionality by enabling speech recognition commands to work across multiple types of external apparatuses (smartphones, tablets, computers, smart home devices). The system identifies the appropriate external apparatus based on the command context and transmits necessary information universally, allowing a single device to interact with various external apparatuses without requiring device-specific configurations or applications
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic apparatus performs self-service by automatically identifying external apparatuses, determining their capabilities, and transmitting necessary information without user intervention. The system autonomously manages the complexity of interacting with multiple external apparatuses, selecting the appropriate target device and providing required credentials or authentication data based on the speech recognition command context

AI summary
An electronic apparatus including an interface to communicate with an external apparatus and a processor configured to identify a command for an external apparatus based on a second audio signal received after a first audio signal identified as corresponding to a trigger command for the external apparatus, identify a state of the external apparatus based on whether the identified command is capable of being performed by the external apparatus, and transmit information, which corresponds to a function to be performed by the external apparatus by the identified command, to the external apparatus through the interface based on the identified state of the external apparatus.
