Solution Overview

Problem

Current text-to-speech (TTS) broadcasting technologies do not support forward and backward functions, which are essential for users like visually impaired and hearing-impaired individuals, and lack semantic cohesion and fluency in broadcasting text data.

Innovation Solution

An image text broadcasting method that performs character recognition on text lines, stores the data in a storage space, and uses association information to enable sequential and specified broadcasting, allowing for forward and backward navigation and improving broadcast speed and coherence.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If current TTS broadcasting technology is used, then text data can be broadcast, but forward and backward navigation functions are not supported

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveforward and backward navigationVSAvoidbroadcasting function completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing the original text into segmented text data with associated position information stored in memory before broadcasting. This allows the system to quickly retrieve and navigate to specific text segments during broadcasting without requiring re-processing, enabling efficient forward and backward navigation while maintaining complete broadcasting functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the original text into multiple text data units, each with position information, and stores them separately in memory. This segmentation enables independent retrieval and broadcasting of specific text segments, making forward and backward navigation feasible while preserving the ability to broadcast complete text when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If text data is broadcast sequentially without segmentation, then broadcasting can be performed, but semantic cohesion and fluency are lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesemantic cohesionVSAvoidbroadcasting fluency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by continuously tracking the current broadcasting position and using it to determine which text segment to broadcast next. This position-based feedback mechanism ensures that text segments are broadcast in the correct sequential order, maintaining semantic cohesion while enabling efficient navigation and improving overall broadcasting fluency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary segmentation and position tagging of text data before broadcasting. This pre-organization of text with position information allows the system to maintain semantic coherence by systematically retrieving segments in order while improving broadcasting efficiency through direct access to pre-processed text units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If all text data is stored in memory for complete broadcasting, then broadcasting completeness is achieved, but navigation efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebroadcasting completenessVSAvoidnavigation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments text data into smaller units with position information and stores them in memory. This segmentation allows the system to store complete text content while enabling rapid navigation to specific segments by position, reducing navigation time compared to processing entire text blocks, while still supporting complete broadcasting when required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary segmentation and position tagging of text data before broadcasting operations. This pre-processing creates an efficient data structure that enables both complete broadcasting and quick navigation to specific segments, reducing navigation time without sacrificing broadcasting completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
