Intent Managing System for Voice Command Target Identification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In vehicle operation, particularly in aircraft, pilots face challenges in managing multiple voice controllable systems simultaneously, as existing systems struggle to accurately determine the intended target of voice commands among multiple systems with shared commands, leading to potential misinterpretation and inefficiency.
Innovation Solution
An intent managing system that includes a processor, input systems, and memory to receive and process voice commands, determine valid commands, select the appropriate system based on user profiles and system data, and provide visual and audio indications for confirmation, ensuring accurate execution of voice commands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple voice controllable systems are equipped in a vehicle, then the functionality and versatility of the vehicle are improved, but the difficulty of determining the intended target of voice commands increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides visual feedback by highlighting the selected voice controllable system on a display, and audio feedback by announcing the selected system name, allowing the user to confirm whether the intended target was correctly identified before command execution
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary confirmation step between voice command reception and system execution, where the intent managing system acts as a mediator to verify target identification through visual and audio indicators before forwarding the command to the selected system
2Speed
If voice commands are processed without confirmation, then the response speed is improved, but the error rate in command execution increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary identification and confirmation of the intended target system before executing the voice command, using visual and audio indicators to pre-verify the selected system, thereby preventing erroneous execution while maintaining efficient processing
3Reliability
If the system requests confirmation for every voice command, then the accuracy of command execution is improved, but the operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses automated visual and audio indicators to self-verify the selected target, reducing the burden on the user who only needs to monitor the indicators rather than actively confirm each command, thereby maintaining accuracy while simplifying operation

AI summary
An intent managing system and a method for operating the same are provided. The system, for example, may include, but is not limited to a processor communicatively coupled to an input system and a memory. The processor may be configured to receive a voice command, determine how many of a plurality of voice controllable systems utilize the voice command, automatically select one of the plurality of voice controllable systems, generate an indication of the selected one of the plurality of voice controllable systems, receive, from the at least one input system, confirmation of the selected one of the plurality of voice controllable systems, and execute the received voice command at the selected one of the plurality of voice controllable systems when the confirmation is received.
