Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing user terminals can only respond to pre-set utterances, leading to inconvenience as they cannot output responses to personalized user inputs, necessitating a technology that can generate responses for non-preset user utterances.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus with a communication interface, memory, and processor that uses neural network models to identify relevant external devices, transmit user utterances, and obtain response information, allowing for personalized responses by calculating relevance scores and adapting response types based on device specifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a user terminal uses pre-set utterances for response, then the system structure is simple and easy to implement, but the system cannot provide personalized responses to user inputs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an external device as an intermediary that possesses the capability to generate personalized responses. The user terminal acts as a mediator that transmits user inputs to the external device and relays the generated responses back to the user, thereby enabling personalized responses without requiring the terminal itself to have complex response generation capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The external device is designed with universal functionality to handle various types of user inputs and generate appropriate personalized responses across different contexts. This multi-functional capability allows the system to adapt to diverse user needs without requiring each terminal to be customized individually.
2Ease of operation
If a user terminal cannot respond to non-preset utterances, then the system is easy to maintain and operate, but user convenience and satisfaction are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The external device serves as a specialized intermediary that handles the complexity of understanding non-preset utterances and generating appropriate responses. This separates the complex response generation function from the user terminal, maintaining ease of operation for the terminal while still providing enhanced user convenience through personalized responses.
Solution Approach 2:
The external device autonomously analyzes user inputs and generates personalized responses without requiring manual configuration or intervention. This self-service capability enables the system to adapt to new user inputs dynamically, improving user convenience without increasing operational complexity for the terminal.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system transmits user inputs to external devices for response generation, then personalized responses can be obtained, but communication overhead and system latency increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by maintaining a database of external device information and capabilities in advance. When a user input is received, the system can quickly identify and select the most appropriate external device from the pre-stored information, reducing the time required for device selection and response generation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms to track and evaluate the performance of external devices in generating personalized responses. This feedback is used to optimize future device selections and improve the overall response time, balancing the need for personalization with the constraint of response latency.
