Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices are limited in providing voice-based services only within a specific perimeter, preventing users from receiving such services when they are outside this range.

Innovation Solution

A lamp device equipped with a lighting module, microphone, speaker, memory, communication circuit, and processor that can receive and transmit audio signals, perform voice recognition, and control external devices, allowing voice-based services to be provided regardless of location.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If voice-based services are provided only within a specific perimeter of an electronic device, then the device can maintain simple architecture and limited components, but users cannot receive services when located outside this limited space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice accessibilityVSAvoiddevice architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is segmented into multiple lamp devices distributed at different locations, each capable of independent voice recognition. This allows the service coverage to be divided into multiple zones, enabling users to receive services from any location without requiring a single complex centralized device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The lamp device is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a lighting device and a voice recognition device. By integrating microphone, speaker, and voice processing capabilities into the lamp, the system eliminates the need for separate dedicated voice service devices, reducing overall system complexity while expanding service accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple components (microphone, speaker, communication circuit) are integrated into the lamp device for voice recognition and transmission, then voice-based services can be provided regardless of user location, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice coverageVSAvoidcomponent integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lamp device is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a lighting device and a voice recognition device. By integrating microphone, speaker, and voice processing capabilities into the lamp, the system eliminates the need for separate dedicated voice service devices, reducing overall system complexity while expanding service accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines voice recognition components (microphone, speaker, processor) with the lamp device into a single integrated unit. This merging of functions allows the lamp to simultaneously provide illumination and voice-based services, reducing the total number of separate devices needed in the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A lamp device for inputting or outputting a voice signal and a method of driving the same. The method of driving a lamp device includes receiving an audio signal; performing voice recognition of a first audio signal among the received audio signals; generating an activation signal based on the voice recognition result; transmitting the activation signal to the external device; receiving a first control signal from the external device; and transmitting a second audio signal among the received audio signals to the external device in response to the first control signal. Alternatively, various exemplary embodiment may be further included.
