Gaze-Assisted Voice Control for Unique Apparatus Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems struggle to accurately specify a unique apparatus for operation based on driver voice recognition, leading to potential incorrect operations.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that utilizes line-of-sight data to specify a target apparatus for operation, generating control commands based on both line-of-sight and voice data to reduce incorrect operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If voice recognition alone is used to specify the target apparatus, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability deteriorates due to inability to uniquely identify the apparatus
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines voice recognition data with line-of-sight direction data to specify the target apparatus. The controller integrates both types of information, using the line-of-sight direction from the imaging device and the voice recognition result to uniquely identify which apparatus the driver intends to operate, thereby resolving the ambiguity that occurs with voice recognition alone.
2Device complexity
If only voice data is used for apparatus specification, then the device complexity is reduced, but the measurement precision deteriorates in identifying the target apparatus
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges voice data processing with line-of-sight direction detection. The controller receives both the voice recognition result and the line-of-sight direction from the imaging device, combining these two information sources to precisely identify the target apparatus, thereby improving measurement precision without adding excessive complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing device and an information processing method each stores line-of-sight data pertaining to a user's line of sight direction of acquired by a line-of-sight-data-receiving unit, and specifies a target apparatus to be operated based on the line-of-sight data when the voice data was acquired and the target apparatus to be operated cannot be specified based on the voice data. A control command is generated that is directed at the target apparatus to be operated based on the voice data, and the target apparatus to be operated is controlled.
