Solution Overview

Problem

Existing voice identification technologies in smart home devices cannot display service content to users during interactions without a screen, limiting user experience and device functionality.

Innovation Solution

Receiving voice and facial feature information to identify content and push relevant information to the user, even if the device is interacting without a screen, using facial feature identification to determine the target object and deliver requested content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If voice identification is used for device control without a screen, then interaction convenience is improved, but service content cannot be displayed to the user

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction convenienceVSAvoidservice content display
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a screen device as an intermediary component that receives control instructions from the voice-activated device and displays service content to the user. This mediator bridges the gap between the no-screen interactive device and the need for visual information display, allowing the voice device to maintain its screenless simplicity while the screen device provides the necessary visual feedback and content display capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The screen device is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as both a display device for showing service content and a control receiver for processing voice instructions. This multi-functional design allows a single device to satisfy both the need for visual information display and the need for voice-based interaction, eliminating the contradiction between screenless operation and content display

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If facial feature identification is added to voice identification, then user experience is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoididentification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines voice identification and facial feature identification into a unified identification system that operates through the same processing pipeline. Both identification methods share common components including the receiving module for input signals, the identification module for processing, and the control module for executing actions. This merged architecture allows the system to leverage multiple identification modalities without proportionally increasing complexity, as the underlying structure remains shared and integrated

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present invention provides an information push method and apparatus. The method includes: receiving voice information and face feature information from a target object; identifying a first content in the voice information; determining the target object corresponding to the facial feature information, and determining a second content consistent with the first content; and pushing the second content to the target object. By using the technical solution, a target object is found out by identifying the facial feature; even if a current device performing the identification of the facial feature information is interactive without a screen, a content requested by the target object can still be displayed, thereby solving the problem that the service content cannot be displayed to the user during interaction without a screen in related technologies, ensuring the timely push of information, increasing the range of use of no-screen devices, and improving the user experience.
