Solution Overview

Problem

Current information processing methods in 5G communication environments struggle to accurately generate and process sentences to control objects using multiple input channels, such as speech and image data, while maintaining user privacy and efficiency.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method and apparatus that analyzes and supplements input information from various channels to generate complete sentences for controlling objects, using image and utterance data to identify subjects and objects, and generate control commands, while preventing sensitive information from being leaked to market-dominant natural language processing services.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple input channels (speech, image) are used to generate control sentences, then accuracy of user intention reflection is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of user intention reflectionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the complex multi-channel processing into distinct functional modules: an obtaining unit that collects data from multiple channels, a generating unit that creates control sentences, and a controlling unit that executes commands. This modular segmentation manages system complexity while maintaining high accuracy in reflecting user intentions through multi-channel input integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary processing layer that receives raw data from multiple input channels (speech, image), processes and integrates this information, and generates standardized control sentences. This intermediary layer acts as a mediator between diverse input sources and the control execution system, managing complexity while preserving accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If personalization is implemented by identifying controlling subject and controlled object, then service quality is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized service qualityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary identification of the controlling subject and controlled object from image information before sentence generation. By pre-identifying these elements and assigning identification information, the system prepares personalized context in advance, enabling quick generation of personalized control sentences without significant processing time penalty.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes parameters such as identification information assignment and control command selection based on the identified controlling subject and controlled object. This parameter adaptation enables personalized services while maintaining efficient processing by adjusting only necessary parameters rather than reprocessing entire input data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If data is processed locally without external NLP services, then user privacy is protected, but processing capability is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser privacy protectionVSAvoidprocessing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by performing all natural language processing, sentence generation, and control command extraction locally within the electronic device. The obtaining unit, generating unit, and controlling unit work together to process multi-channel input data and generate control sentences without requiring external NLP services, thereby protecting user privacy while maintaining adequate processing capability through integrated local processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
