Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile terminals face low voice recognition rates due to a broad scope of recognition, as they lack context and relation information to accurately interpret user inputs during conversations.

Innovation Solution

A mobile terminal configuration that includes a microphone, display unit, and controller to input and recognize voice, using context information from previous conversations and relation information with the conversation partner or their group to enhance voice recognition and automatically generate messages, while restricting the recognition scope for improved accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the scope of voice recognition is broad to cover various conversation topics, then the versatility of the voice recognition system is improved, but the voice recognition rate deteriorates due to lack of context information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescope of voice recognitionVSAvoidvoice recognition rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the voice recognition scope adjustable rather than fixed. The system dynamically narrows or expands the recognition scope based on detected context information from the conversation, allowing it to adapt between broad versatility and precise recognition as needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of recognition scope width based on context analysis. When context information is available, the recognition scope parameter is narrowed to improve accuracy; when context is limited, the scope is widened to maintain versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If the voice recognition system attempts to recognize all possible conversation content without restrictions, then the coverage of recognizable content is improved, but the accuracy of recognition deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage of recognizable contentVSAvoidrecognition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the voice recognition process into multiple stages: initial broad recognition attempt, context information extraction from recognized content, and subsequent refined recognition based on extracted context. This segmentation allows the system to achieve both broad coverage and high accuracy at different stages

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by using the output of the first recognition stage as input for the second stage. The recognized content from the initial broad recognition is analyzed to extract context information, which then feeds back to narrow and refine the recognition scope for improved accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
