Speech Control Device for Multi-Operation Execution Confirmation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing speech recognition control devices cannot confirm the execution of multiple manual operations when a user instructs execution of functions that require multiple manual operations through a single utterance, as they simply repeat the same function multiple times without verifying the completion of each operation.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus control device that processes uttered speech to determine the necessary manual operations and their order, then sequentially transmits operation commands to the target apparatus, allowing confirmation of each operation's execution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If speech recognition control device repeats the same function multiple times with a single utterance, then the user can execute functions with a single utterance, but the user cannot confirm that the functions corresponding to respective multiple manual operations have been executed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by having the controlled apparatus output operation response information corresponding to each manual operation executed. The speech recognition control device transmits this operation response information to the user, enabling confirmation that each function corresponding to respective multiple manual operations has been properly executed, while maintaining single-utterance operation capability
2Productivity
If speech recognition control device transmits control signals for multiple times, then the functions can be executed multiple times, but the execution status of each manual operation cannot be verified
Solution Approach 1:
The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where the controlled apparatus outputs operation response information for each manual operation executed, and this information is transmitted to the user. This allows verification of execution status for each operation while maintaining high execution speed through automated speech-based control
Solution Approach 2:
The speech recognition control device determines the sequence of manual operations in advance based on the speech input, then transmits control signals accordingly. This preliminary determination ensures that each operation's execution status can be tracked and verified while maintaining efficient automated execution
