Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Voice operation systems for image forming apparatuses face inaccuracies in interpreting user voice commands due to errors in voice recognition, leading to incorrect job commands being generated, which can result in the image forming apparatus not operating as intended.
Innovation Solution
A job command generation device with a processor that executes a job command generation program, manages error correction information to correct errors in voice recognition, and generates job commands that the image forming apparatus can interpret, based on corrected text data from a voice reception device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If voice recognition is used to convert voice data into text data, then the operation of the image forming apparatus becomes more convenient, but errors in voice recognition lead to incorrect text data and incorrect job commands
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a job command generation device as an intermediary between the voice reception device and the image forming apparatus. This intermediary device receives text data from the voice reception device, corrects recognition errors using error correction information, generates accurate job commands, and transmits them to the image forming apparatus. This mediator resolves the contradiction by maintaining voice operation convenience while ensuring command accuracy through error correction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by using error correction information that is generated based on the difference between recognized text and intended text. The job command generation device continuously corrects errors in the text data stream, creating a feedback loop that improves accuracy without requiring the voice reception device itself to be more accurate.
2Reliability
If error correction information is managed and used to correct voice recognition errors, then job command accuracy is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The job command generation device serves as a specialized intermediary that handles error correction functionality. By concentrating error correction logic in this dedicated mediator, the system achieves high accuracy without distributing complex correction logic across multiple components, thus managing overall system complexity effectively.
Solution Approach 2:
The error correction function is extracted from the voice reception device and placed in the job command generation device. This extraction allows the voice reception device to remain simple while the correction functionality is handled by a specialized component that processes text data and applies error correction information as needed.
3Reliability
If the voice reception device itself is improved to increase recognition accuracy, then fewer errors occur, but the cost and complexity of the voice reception device increase
Solution Approach 1:
The error correction functionality is extracted from the voice reception device and implemented separately in the job command generation device. This allows the voice reception device to remain simple and cost-effective while still achieving high accuracy through external error correction processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The job command generation device acts as an intermediary that receives text data from a simple voice reception device, corrects errors using managed error correction information, and produces accurate job commands. This intermediary approach allows the use of affordable voice reception hardware while maintaining high overall system accuracy.

AI summary
A job command generation device includes a control device that acts as a job command generator that manages error correction information for correcting an error in voice recognition committed by a voice reception device that converts voice data representing a received voice into text data, through the voice recognition, corrects the error in the text data received from the voice reception device, using the error correction information, and generates a job command that an image forming apparatus can interpret, on a basis of the text data in which the error has been corrected.
