Electronic Device Virtual Assistant Sound Matching by Voice Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices with virtual assistants often output sound at levels that differ from the user's intended or desired level, requiring manual adjustments and consuming additional computational resources.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device adjusts its output sound level based on a user command and a determined sound level of a reference input, such as the user's voice or ambient noise, to align with the user's preferred sound level.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the electronic device outputs sound at a high output sound level, then the user can comprehend the response in loud environments, but the user might be discomforted or the quiet environment might be disturbed
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback by analyzing the sound level of the user's voice command and adjusting the output sound level accordingly. The processor determines the sound level of the received voice command and sets the output sound level based on this determination, creating a feedback loop that adapts the output to match the user's vocal characteristics and environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically adjusting its own output sound level without requiring manual user intervention. The processor autonomously analyzes the user's voice command sound level and configures the appropriate output sound level, eliminating the need for separate volume adjustment operations.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the electronic device outputs sound at a low output sound level, then the user comfort is maintained in quiet environments, but the user might be unable to comprehend the response in loud environments
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback by analyzing the sound level of the user's voice command and adjusting the output sound level accordingly. The processor determines the sound level of the received voice command and sets the output sound level based on this determination, creating a feedback loop that adapts the output to match the user's vocal characteristics and environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies dynamics by making the output sound level adjustable and adaptive rather than fixed. The processor dynamically configures the output sound level based on the analyzed sound level of the user's voice command, allowing the system to adapt to different environmental conditions and user preferences.
3Measurement precision
If the user manually adjusts the output sound level by providing additional user commands, then the output sound level can be adjusted to the intended level, but additional computational resources of the electronic device are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically adjusting its own output sound level without requiring manual user intervention. The processor autonomously analyzes the user's voice command sound level and configures the appropriate output sound level, eliminating the need for separate volume adjustment operations and reducing computational resource consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-analyzing the sound level of the user's voice command and proactively setting the appropriate output sound level before the user needs to make adjustments. This preliminary configuration prevents the need for subsequent manual adjustment operations.
4Ease of operation
If the user provides a user command that includes a specific request to adjust the output sound level to a specific delineated output sound level, then the output sound level can be adjusted, but the set output sound level might be different than the intended sound level of the user
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback by analyzing the sound level of the user's voice command and adjusting the output sound level accordingly. The processor determines the sound level of the received voice command and sets the output sound level based on this determination, creating a feedback loop that adapts the output to match the user's vocal characteristics and environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces the mechanical system of manual volume button pressing or slider adjustment with an acoustic analysis mechanism. The processor analyzes the acoustic properties of the user's voice command and automatically configures the output sound level, substituting physical interaction with acoustic field analysis.
