Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices fail to output voice reply information tailored to user-specific features such as age, gender, and language, resulting in a monotonous and unpersonalized interaction experience.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method that detects voice information, identifies user-specific features, and generates voice operation instructions to determine a presentation outcome for multimedia data, including content and presentation form, matching the user's voice features, allowing for personalized voice replies and adaptive content presentation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If voice reply information is output in the same tone and speed for all users, then the system operation is simple, but the user experience deteriorates due to lack of personalization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem operation simplicityVSAvoidvoice reply personalization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameters of voice reply information (tone, speed, volume) based on user characteristics such as age. The system identifies whether the user is an elder person and adjusts the voice parameters accordingly - using slower speed, larger volume, and clearer tone for elderly users, while using normal parameters for other users. This resolves the contradiction by making the system adaptable without requiring complex manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically identifies user characteristics and adjusts voice parameters without requiring users to manually configure settings. The electronic device performs self-service by detecting user features and autonomously optimizing the voice reply parameters, thereby maintaining operational simplicity while achieving personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Device complexity

If the electronic device does not identify user voice features, then the processing complexity is low, but the interaction effectiveness deteriorates due to monotone replies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing complexityVSAvoidinteraction effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces minimal processing complexity by only identifying key user features (such as whether the user is an elder person) and changing the parameters of voice replies based on these features. This simple feature identification and parameter adjustment mechanism significantly improves interaction effectiveness without requiring complex processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Stability of the object's composition

If application programs present predetermined content regardless of user features, then the content delivery is consistent, but the user experience deteriorates due to inability to adapt to individual preferences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent delivery consistencyVSAvoidcontent adaptation to user features
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes to multimedia content presentation based on user features. When an elder person is identified, the system adjusts content parameters such as increasing subtitle display time, using larger fonts, and selecting simpler content representations. This maintains content delivery consistency while adapting to individual user features, resolving the contradiction between stability and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
