Motion-Triggered Voice Recording for Wearables
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Individuals face challenges in efficiently processing information during their fast-paced lives, particularly during physical activities like running or trotting, as existing methods require manual operation for recording audio information.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that acquire real-time motion data to automatically activate a recording module when a change in motion status occurs, allowing voice input recording without manual operation, and stop recording via a preset voice instruction, utilizing sensors like accelerometers and processors in companion devices such as smartphones or wearables.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual operation is required to activate recording module, then recording can be started, but it consumes time and requires manual interaction which is inconvenient during physical activities
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by continuously monitoring motion data in advance and automatically activating the recording module when predetermined motion patterns are detected, eliminating the need for manual operation during the recording activation process
Solution Approach 2:
The system serves itself by using its own motion sensing capabilities to automatically detect when recording should be activated based on user activity patterns, without requiring external manual input or intervention
2Productivity
If recording module is activated continuously, then recording can be immediately captured, but energy is wasted during periods when recording is not needed
Solution Approach 1:
The recording module's operational state is dynamically adjusted based on real-time motion data analysis, transitioning between active and inactive states according to detected user activity patterns, optimizing both response speed and energy efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from motion sensors to continuously monitor user activity and automatically control the recording module's activation and deactivation, ensuring recording is only performed when actually needed based on detected motion patterns
3Measurement precision
If touch operation is required for information entry, then accurate input can be achieved, but it requires manual interaction which is impractical during running or trotting
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the mechanical touch operation system with an acoustic recognition system, using voice commands to trigger recording and information entry functions, eliminating the need for manual touch interaction while maintaining input accuracy through voice-based control
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure provides an information entry method and a corresponding device. The method comprises: step a): acquiring in real-time motion data from a user companion device; step b): determining whether the device changes from a first motion status to a second motion status based on the motion data; if so, activating a recording module of the device; step c): recording in real-time the user's voice input through the recording module; step d): stopping recording according to a preset voice instruction of stopping recording. The method and device can address a need of information entry in the following scenario: when a user incidentally wants to record some audios during running or trotting, the device may quickly activate its own recording module based on the acquired motion data so as to enter information in an audio manner, without performing a touch operation on the companion device.
