Solution Overview

Problem

Existing presentation systems fail to accurately select the next slide based on conversation content, as voice recognition often misinterprets spoken terms, leading to inappropriate slide transitions.

Innovation Solution

A display device that extracts conversation-derived terms, converts them into search keywords, and uses these keywords to identify relevant presentation material pages, displaying selection terms for slide selection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If voice recognition is used to recognize conversation and select slides, then the system can automatically transition between presentation slides, but the recognized terms may not match search terms associated with slides, leading to inappropriate slide selection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic slide transitionVSAvoidterm matching accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary term conversion process between voice recognition output and slide search terms. A conversion table stores multiple alternative terms for each slide search term, allowing the system to match recognized conversation terms with appropriate slides even when exact matches don't exist. This intermediary layer resolves the mismatch between colloquial speech and formal slide terminology.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of term representation by storing multiple alternative terms (synonyms, related terms, different formulations) for each slide search term in the conversion table. This allows flexible matching where a recognized term can match any of the stored alternatives, significantly improving term matching accuracy while maintaining automatic slide transition capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If multiple alternative terms are stored for each search term to improve matching accuracy, then slide selection accuracy improves, but the system complexity and data storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveslide selection accuracyVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The conversion table is prepared in advance during system setup or presentation material creation. All alternative terms and their corresponding slide search terms are pre-defined and stored. During actual presentation, the system only needs to perform simple lookup operations in the pre-prepared conversion table, avoiding complex real-time analysis and reducing computational complexity while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If the system displays selection terms for user confirmation, then slide selection accuracy improves, but the presentation flow is interrupted and time is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveslide selection accuracyVSAvoidpresentation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system displays only a limited number of candidate slides (e.g., top 3 matches) rather than all possible slides, and only when confidence is not sufficiently high. In many cases where the recognized term clearly matches a single slide, the system automatically selects without displaying candidates, thus minimizing interruption to the presentation flow while maintaining accuracy when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
