Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual clicking of voice function key is required, then the voice input function can be triggered, but user operations become cumbersome and voice input efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects device rotation and triggers voice input without requiring manual user action. The mobile terminal monitors its own orientation state and autonomously activates the voice recognition function when the rotation threshold is met, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring continuous user intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical interaction of manually clicking a physical or on-screen button with an automated sensor-based detection system. The acceleration sensor detects device rotation mechanically, and the system translates this physical motion into automatic software activation, substituting manual mechanical operation with automated sensor processing.
2Ease of operation
If manual clicking is required to activate voice input, then the function can be controlled, but the operation becomes difficult when holding the phone with one hand
Solution Approach 1:
The system monitors its own rotation state automatically and triggers voice input without requiring the user to reach for or click a button. This self-activating mechanism works seamlessly whether the user is holding the phone with one hand or two hands, as no manual interaction is needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes its operational parameter from requiring manual button press to responding to device rotation angle. By using rotation angle as the trigger parameter instead of manual input, the system adapts to different usage scenarios including one-hand operation, where button clicking becomes difficult.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a method and device for waking up a voice recognition function in a mobile terminal. The method includes: receiving (101) a trigger instruction of an input interface, and activating the input interface; acquiring (102) a rotation angle of the mobile terminal in a first rotation direction with an x-axis as a rotation axis, in which the x-axis is a widthwise direction of a screen of the mobile terminal; and activating (103) the voice recognition function when the rotation angle of the mobile terminal in the first rotation direction with the x-axis as the rotation axis is greater than or equal to a first trigger threshold. With the method, the voice recognition function is automatically activated according to the rotation angle of the mobile terminal in the first rotation direction of the x-axis.
