Message Conversion Based on Sender-Recipient Relationship
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices struggle to convey messages in a way that mimics human interaction, failing to adapt messages based on the relationship between the sender and recipient, which limits their ability to provide a natural and personalized service.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with a processor and memory that converts messages based on relationship information between senders and recipients, allowing for personalized output through voice, text, or behavior variables, enabling flexible interaction and simulating human-like communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device outputs messages using a predetermined algorithm with mechanical sound, then the message delivery is reliable and consistent, but the user experience lacks naturalness and personalization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by customizing message output parameters specifically for different recipient relationships. The system identifies the relationship between the recipient and the electronic device, then applies relationship-specific voice variables (tone, pitch, speed) and text generation variables (honorifics, casual language) only to messages intended for that recipient, rather than uniformly processing all messages. This allows personalized adaptation without overhauling the entire message processing system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by dynamically adjusting voice output parameters (tone, pitch, speed, volume) and text generation parameters (honorific level, formality) based on the identified relationship between the recipient and the electronic device. The processor selects from multiple predefined parameter sets corresponding to different relationship types (family, friend, colleague, superior), transforming the same input message into relationship-appropriate output without changing the core message content.
2Ease of operation
If the electronic device displays or outputs messages as received, then the processing is simple and fast, but the service lacks human-like naturalness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining multiple relationship categories and their corresponding output parameters before message processing occurs. The system maintains a database of relationship types (family members, friends, colleagues, superiors, subordinates) with associated voice variables and text generation variables. When a message arrives, the system quickly matches the recipient against these pre-defined categories and applies the appropriate parameters, avoiding complex real-time analysis while still achieving personalized output.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device uses a fixed output method for all messages, then the device complexity is low, but the service cannot adapt to various situations and relationships
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the message processing system into distinct modular components: relationship identification module, parameter selection module, voice synthesis module, and text generation module. Each module performs a specific function - identifying the recipient relationship, selecting appropriate output parameters, synthesizing voice output, and generating text with appropriate language style. This modular segmentation allows the system to achieve high adaptability through coordinated module operations while keeping individual module complexity low and manageable.

AI summary
A method for controlling an electronic device is provided. The method includes obtaining a message from a sender, identifying a recipient of the message, converting the message based on first relationship information between the sender and the recipient and second relationship information between the recipient and the electronic device, and outputting the converted message.
