Solution Overview

Problem

Current devices struggle to parse non-standard control instructions, such as those with non-standard forms or dialects, leading to inconvenient user experiences and high capital investment requirements for improving device intelligence.

Innovation Solution

A human-computer interaction assisting device that acquires and parses first control instructions, generating a second, standard instruction that can be understood by executing devices, without increasing the device's intelligence or interface costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the executing device improves its intelligence level and capability to understand non-standard control instructions, then the user experience is improved, but large capital investment is required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapability to understand control instructionsVSAvoidcapital investment
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an assisting device as an intermediary between the user and the executing device. This mediator receives non-standard control instructions from users, parses them using a knowledge base, and converts them into standard instructions that the executing device can understand. This resolves the contradiction by enabling the executing device to handle non-standard instructions without improving its own intelligence or requiring capital investment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the instruction processing function into two parts: the executing device that handles only standard instructions, and the assisting device that handles parsing and conversion of non-standard instructions. This segmentation allows the executing device to remain simple and cost-effective while still providing comprehensive instruction understanding through the assisting device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the user issues non-standard control instructions, then the user experience is improved, but the executing device cannot parse the instruction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidinstruction parsing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The assisting device acts as a mediator that bridges the gap between user-friendly non-standard instructions and device-specific standard instructions. It receives diverse non-standard inputs, parses them through a knowledge base, and reliably converts them into executable standard commands, ensuring both ease of operation and reliable execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary parsing and conversion of non-standard instructions into standard format before the executing device processes them. This preliminary action ensures that by the time the executing device receives the instruction, it is already in a reliable, standardized format that guarantees correct execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If the user issues non-standard control instructions, then convenience is improved, but the executing device requires large capital investment to understand

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveconvenienceVSAvoidcapital investment
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The assisting device serves as a cost-effective intermediary that handles the complexity of understanding non-standard instructions. Users can issue convenient non-standard commands while the assisting device performs the costly parsing and conversion work, eliminating the need for expensive upgrades to the executing device itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a standardized copy of the user's non-standard instruction through parsing and conversion. The assisting device copies the essential meaning from diverse non-standard formats into a unified standard format that the executing device can process, maintaining convenience while avoiding investment in multiple understanding capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Provided are a method and apparatus for assisting human-computer interaction, applied to a human-computer interaction auxiliary device connected with an executing device. The method comprises: acquiring a first control instruction, wherein the first control instruction comprises a voice control instruction and/or a text control instruction (S110); parsing the first control instruction (S120); generating a corresponding second control instruction according to the first control instruction, wherein the second control instruction is a preset control instruction that can be parsed by at least one of the executing device (S140); and searching for, according to the first control instruction, a target executing device corresponding to the first control instruction, and sending the second control instruction to the target executing device corresponding to the first control instruction (S150). In this way, an effect of assisting the executing device in parsing an instruction issued by a user is achieved without increasing investment in improving an information receiving interface or intelligence level of the executing device.
