Information Processing System for Utterance Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In communication scenarios, utterers often avoid speaking when others are speaking, leading to disturbances or unrecognized utterances, as existing systems lack efficient timing coordination for utterances.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that acquires status information of nearby persons and generates control information to notify the utterer of potential utterances by nearby persons, using devices such as eyeglass devices with cameras and microphones.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the utterer speaks when a third party is uttering, then the utterer can communicate their message, but the utterance by the third party is disturbed or the utterance by the utterer is less likely to be recognized
Solution Approach 1:
The notification device issues a notification to the utterer in advance when it detects that a third party is uttering, before the utterer would normally speak. This preliminary warning allows the utterer to adjust their speech timing to avoid overlapping with the third party's utterance, thereby preventing disturbance and ensuring proper recognition of both utterances.
2Reliability
If the utterer avoids speaking when others are speaking, then utterance recognition is improved, but communication timing coordination becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The notification device provides real-time feedback to the utterer by issuing notifications when third parties are detected to be uttering. This feedback mechanism enables the utterer to automatically adjust their speech timing based on the notifications received, making speech timing coordination intuitive and easy without requiring the utterer to manually monitor the conversation environment.

AI summary
An information processing system includes a processor, wherein the processor acquires status information that is information related to a status of a nearby person who is a person located around a subject, and when the status specified by the status information acquired is a particular status, the processor generates control information that is used for controlling a device owned by the subject and causes the device to issue a notification indicating that there is a possibility of utterance by the nearby person.
