Electronic Apparatus Cross-Device Voice Command Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when trying to continue watching the same broadcast or using voice commands across multiple display apparatuses in different rooms, as they need to manually adjust channels and re-input voice commands on each device.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus equipped with a microphone, communication interface, and processor that receives user voice inputs, senses user movement, and communicates with external apparatuses to seamlessly transmit and receive voice recognition information and content data, allowing continuous viewing and voice command functionality across devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display apparatuses are provided in different rooms, then users can watch broadcasting in multiple locations, but users have to manually adjust channels and re-input voice commands on each device
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses sensors (camera, microphone, infrared sensor) to detect user presence and provides feedback by automatically transmitting viewing information and voice recognition results to the new display apparatus, creating a closed-loop system that adapts to user movement
Solution Approach 2:
A communication interface acts as an intermediary between display apparatuses, transmitting viewing information, voice recognition results, and control signals to enable seamless cross-device continuation without direct user intervention
2Reliability
If voice recognition is performed on each display apparatus independently, then each device can process voice commands, but users have to input the same voice commands multiple times across different devices
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by transmitting voice recognition results and viewing information to the target display apparatus before the user arrives, so that when the user moves to the new location, the system is already prepared to continue service without requiring re-input
Solution Approach 2:
The system maintains continuity of useful action by ensuring that voice recognition functionality and viewing information persist across device transitions, allowing the user to continue watching content and receive services without interruption or re-input
3Ease of operation
If viewing information is transmitted between display apparatuses, then users can continue watching content across devices, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus is designed with multi-functionality, integrating sensing components (camera, microphone, infrared sensor) and communication capabilities to handle both local operation and cross-device information transmission, reducing the need for separate dedicated systems

AI summary
An electronic apparatus and a method for controlling thereof are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a microphone configured to receive a user voice, a communication interface, and a processor configured, based on a first voice being received through the microphone, to provide first response information corresponding to the first voice, and based on a user sensing signal being received from an external apparatus through the communication interface, to control the communication interface to send the first response information to the external apparatus.
