Solution Overview

Problem

In existing systems for scheduling devices through a large-scale screen, such as cameras around a building, users face inefficiencies due to the need for manual selection of controls, leading to delayed image display and high labor costs.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for speech-based instruction scheduling, where input speech is converted into text messages and parsed to control scheduling objects, allowing for automatic scheduling and improved efficiency by recognizing and analyzing user commands.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual selection of camera controls is used, then users can control specific cameras, but scheduling efficiency is low and labor costs are high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescheduling efficiencyVSAvoidmanual control selection
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual control system with an automated speech recognition and processing system. Users speak commands to control cameras, and the system automatically processes these commands through speech-to-text conversion and instruction parsing, eliminating the need for manual interaction with control interfaces and significantly improving scheduling efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service operation where users can directly control cameras through speech without requiring manual intervention in the control system. The automated processing of speech commands allows the system to serve itself by automatically identifying, parsing, and executing camera control instructions based on user verbal commands

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of time

If manual control selection is required, then specific cameras can be targeted, but time for image display is delayed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage display delayVSAvoidscheduling speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing speech commands into standardized text instructions before camera control execution. The speech recognition and instruction parsing operations are performed in advance, preparing the control commands so that when executed, the camera switching and image display can proceed immediately without manual selection delays

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the time-consuming manual control selection mechanism with automated speech-to-action conversion. The system directly translates verbal commands into camera control actions, eliminating the intermediate manual interface steps that cause delays in image display and significantly reducing the time loss

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A method for speech-based instruction scheduling includes: a microphone included in an electronic device receiving a first input speech from a user; the electronic device converting the first input speech into a first text message; the electronic device obtaining first instruction contents of the first text message by parsing the first text message based on preset configuration instructions, in which the first instruction contents are configured to represent a target instruction object and a target instruction action; and the electronic device sending the first instruction contents to a scheduling object, so that the scheduling object controls the target instruction object to execute the target instruction action based on the first instruction contents.
