Solution Overview

Problem

Current electronic devices providing assistant services can only offer a single assistant service, limiting user convenience and satisfaction, as they do not effectively utilize multiple assistant services or AI agents to provide diverse and accurate responses.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus equipped with a processor that transmits user voice inputs to multiple servers providing different assistant services, utilizing AI agents to generate responses based on user preferences and accuracy, allowing seamless access to various assistant services.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single assistant service is provided in the electronic apparatus, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability and versatility are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassistant service diversityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that hosts multiple AI agents and communicates with the electronic apparatus. Instead of integrating multiple assistant services directly into the device, the system uses a server-mediated architecture where the electronic apparatus sends voice inputs to the server, which then processes them through different AI agents and returns responses. This mediator approach enables service diversity without proportionally increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The server is designed as a universal platform that can provide multiple different assistant services through different AI agents. A single server instance can offer various functions (weather, news, entertainment, etc.) depending on which AI agent is activated, allowing one component to serve multiple purposes and enabling service versatility without requiring separate dedicated systems for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If multiple assistant services are provided through different servers, then the adaptability and response accuracy are improved, but the device complexity and communication overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse accuracyVSAvoidcommunication complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the assistant service functionality into separate AI agents hosted on servers, with each agent specialized in specific domains or functions. The electronic apparatus maintains separate communication channels to different servers for different services. This segmentation allows each service to be optimized independently for accuracy while keeping the overall system architecture modular and manageable, preventing communication complexity from becoming uncontrolled.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes communication parameters based on the type of service being accessed. Different servers may require different communication protocols, data formats, or authentication methods. The patent implies adaptive parameter adjustment where the electronic apparatus modifies its communication behavior according to the target server and service requirements, optimizing accuracy for each service while managing communication complexity through parameterization rather than hardcoding all variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
