Solution Overview

Problem

Current voice control technologies for intelligent devices require frequent user input of voice information for repetitive operations, leading to an unfriendly user experience and inefficient control processes.

Innovation Solution

A control method that acquires an execution mode through an input device or voice module, adjusts parameter values based on operation instructions, and generates control instructions to be transmitted to intelligent devices, allowing for more efficient and user-friendly operation without constant voice input.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If voice control is used to control intelligent devices, then the ease of operation is improved, but the loss of time increases due to frequent voice input requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidloss of time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically executing previously stored control operations without requiring users to re-input voice commands. The control apparatus stores execution records of previous operations and automatically retrieves and executes them when similar control scenarios occur, thereby saving time while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If voice information is constantly input for controlling intelligent devices, then the adaptability is improved, but the loss of time increases due to repetitive input requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidloss of time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies copying by storing copies of previously executed control operations and reusing them instead of requiring constant re-input. The control apparatus maintains a database of execution records containing control instructions and parameters, which are copied and applied when similar control needs arise, reducing repetitive input while preserving adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Reliability

If the same voice information is repeatedly input for similar operations, then the reliability of control is improved, but the productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereliabilityVSAvoidproductivity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-storing control instructions and execution records from previous operations. When similar control operations are needed, the system automatically retrieves and executes the stored instructions without requiring repeated voice input, thereby maintaining reliable control while significantly improving productivity by reducing repetitive operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A control method for an intelligent device, a control apparatus (400) for an intelligent device, and a computer storage medium. The control method includes: acquiring (S 110) a previous execution mode after receiving an operation instruction transmitted by an input device; adjusting (S120) a parameter value in the execution mode according to a variable value corresponding to the operation instruction; and generating (S130) a control instruction according to an adjusted execution mode, and transmitting the control instruction to the intelligent device to be controlled. After the intelligent device is controlled by a voice, subsequently, a currently generated control instruction can inherit a control logic of a previously generated control instruction by operating the input device, thereby a control efficiency of the intelligent device is improved, the input device is easy to operate, without needing a user to frequently input voice information, so that the control process is user-friendly.
