Input Display Device Voice Recognition Layout Flexibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional input display devices limit the flexibility of displaying voice recognition results as character strings, as they are restricted to being arranged along a straight line drawn by the user, preventing users from setting their own layouts.
Innovation Solution
An input display device and method that allows the character string showing the voice recognition result to be displayed in a layout set by the user, using a system with a pointing device, character management DB, track image generating unit, and display control unit to generate and superimpose the character string on a track image, enabling flexible arrangement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a straight line connecting start point and end point is drawn on the display, then the position at which a character string showing a result of the recognition of the voice is to be displayed can be grasped in advance, but it is not possible to draw a character string showing a result of recognition of a voice in a layout flexibly set by the user
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by enabling the display background to change its state based on user interaction. When the user draws a line with the pointing device, the system dynamically generates a track image following the drawn path and allows the character string to be displayed along this flexible track. This transforms the static straight-line display into a dynamic, user-defined curved path display, achieving layout flexibility without requiring complex pre-programming of various display patterns.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a track image as an intermediary element between the user's drawn line and the character string display. The track image serves as a mediator that converts the user's simple linear drawing action into a flexible display path. The character string is then displayed along this intermediary track image, allowing the system to achieve flexible layout while maintaining simple user interaction and straightforward processing.
2Ease of operation
If a straight line is used to connect start point and end point, then the display process is simple, but the user cannot set their own layout for the character string
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by generating the track image in advance based on the user's drawn line before displaying the character string. This pre-generated track image serves as a prepared path that guides the subsequent character string placement. By performing this track generation action beforehand, the system enables precise character string positioning along flexible user-defined paths without requiring complex real-time calculation during the display phase.

AI summary
An operation receiving unit 1 for receiving a touch drawing operation, a track image generating unit 4 for determining the track of a line drawn with touch drawing from the touch drawing operation received by the operation receiving unit 1 to generate a track image showing the track, and a character string acquiring unit 5 for acquiring a character string showing a result of recognition of a voice are provided. A display control unit 9 displays the track image generated by the track image generating unit 4 on a display 29, and also superimposes the character string acquired by the character string acquiring unit 5 on the track image.
