Electronic Device Date-Time Interpretation Using Activity Context
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing voice recognition systems struggle to accurately identify user intent related to dates and times in user utterances, leading to potential misinterpretations and suboptimal service provision.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with an input module, processor, and memory that analyzes user utterances for dates and times, applying conditions to adjust detected dates and times based on user activity records, ensuring accurate interpretation and functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the voice recognition system directly uses the detected date and time from user utterance, then the processing speed is fast, but the interpretation accuracy deteriorates when multiple dates and times are possible
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis by checking multiple conditions (current date/time, activity records, sleep patterns) before finalizing the date and time interpretation. This preliminary action prevents misinterpretation by proactively identifying the most likely intended date and time through systematic condition evaluation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the interpretation of date and time based on real-time context including current time, user activity records, and sleep patterns. Rather than using a fixed interpretation rule, the system adapts its interpretation logic according to the specific contextual conditions present at the time of the utterance.
2Measurement precision
If the system applies multiple conditions to adjust detected dates and times, then the interpretation accuracy improves, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary checks of activity records and contextual information before finalizing the date and time interpretation. By preparing and storing activity records in advance, the system can quickly reference them during utterance processing without performing complex real-time analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the user's own activity records and device usage patterns to automatically determine the most likely intended date and time. This self-service approach eliminates the need for additional user input or manual clarification, resolving ambiguities through self-contained contextual analysis.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system changes detected dates and times based on activity records, then the service relevance improves, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a unified contextual analysis mechanism that handles multiple functions including date/time interpretation, activity recognition, and user behavior analysis. This multi-functional approach allows the system to adapt to various user contexts using a single integrated framework rather than separate specialized systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary contextual analysis layer that mediates between the raw utterance and the final interpretation. This intermediary layer processes activity records and contextual information to bridge the gap between user input and accurate intent recognition, simplifying the overall system architecture through modular design.

AI summary
According to an embodiment, an electronic device, in case that a user utterance related to a date and time acquired through the input module is identified as a user utterance for performing a function, based on a date and time when the user utterance is acquired, identifies whether the date and time detected in the user utterance are interpreted as a plurality of dates and times. According to an embodiment, the electronic device, in case that the date and time detected in the user utterance are interpreted as the plurality of dates and times, changes the date detected in the user utterance if a first condition for changing the date is satisfied, and changes the time detected in the user utterance if user's activity record information satisfies a second condition. According to an embodiment, the electronic device recommends performing a function with the changed date or time.
