Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional dialog services in electronic devices struggle to efficiently determine the topic of conversation and maintain high recognition rates, especially in medical information services where user authentication and confidentiality are critical, due to the need for predefined topics and preset dialog options.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device initiates a dialog by generating and transmitting utterance data based on stored electronic medical record (EMR) data before receiving user input, allowing it to lead the conversation and authenticate the user, thereby determining the topic and enhancing recognition rates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the dialog service uses predefined topics and preset dialog options to interpret user utterances, then the device can execute functions based on user inputs, but the dialog recognition rate decreases when dealing with multiple different topics

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to handle multiple topicsVSAvoiddialog recognition rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The server performs preliminary actions by proactively initiating dialog topics and generating utterance data before receiving user inputs. The system determines topics in advance based on stored EMR data and sends relevant utterances to the user device, allowing the user to respond to pre-determined topics rather than relying on user-initiated queries. This preliminary topic determination enables the system to maintain high recognition rates across multiple topics by having the user device send responses based on pre-identified EMR-related topics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If the dialog service waits for user input to determine the topic, then the user can freely initiate conversations, but the service provider cannot specify the topic and facilitate user interaction efficiently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser-initiated conversationVSAvoiddialog initiation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The server performs preliminary actions by proactively initiating dialog topics and generating utterance data before receiving user inputs. The system determines topics in advance based on stored EMR data and sends relevant utterances to the user device, allowing the user to respond to pre-determined topics rather than relying on user-initiated queries. This preliminary topic determination enables the system to maintain high recognition rates across multiple topics by having the user device send responses based on pre-identified EMR-related topics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the dialog service processes medical information, then the system can provide healthcare-related services, but user authentication and confidentiality protection become critical requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemedical information service capabilityVSAvoidauthentication and security processes
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service authentication by automatically identifying the user through the user device and accessing stored EMR data without requiring manual authentication steps. The server device autonomously determines which EMR data corresponds to the logged-in user and generates relevant utterance data based on that data, eliminating the need for complex manual authentication processes while maintaining security through automated user identification and data access controls.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An electronic device and method are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a communication interface, a processor and a memory. The processor implements the method, including detecting a login to a first user account through a communication interface, identifying electronic medical record (EMR) data stored in a memory corresponding to the first user account based at least in part on a result of the detected login, generate first utterance data for output through a user device based at least in part on the stored EMR data, wherein the first utterance data is generated before any data associated with utterance is received from the user device; and transmitting the generated first utterance data to the user device through the communication interface for output by the user device.
