Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle door opening and closing systems using remote controls or manual switches are inefficient, particularly when the user has their hands full, and lack secure vocal command recognition to prevent unauthorized access and the ability to close the door.

Innovation Solution

A voice recognition system integrated with a microcontroller-based mechanism that samples and recognizes specific vocal commands to control the opening and closing of vehicle doors, using a microcontroller to generate signals for the mechanical control system.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If remote controls or manual switches are used to open vehicle doors, then the door can be opened, but the system is inefficient when the user has their hands full

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of door openingVSAvoidoperational efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual switches and remote controls with a voice recognition system that uses acoustic signals to trigger door opening. The microcontroller samples voice frequency patterns and compares them against stored patterns to enable hands-free operation, directly substituting mechanical input methods with acoustic field-based control.

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

2Ease of operation

If vocal commands are used to open vehicle doors, then hands-free operation is enabled, but unauthorized access cannot be prevented

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehands-free operationVSAvoidaccess security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making the voice recognition system selective to specific individuals. The microcontroller stores frequency patterns from authorized users and compares incoming voice samples against these specific patterns. Only voices matching the stored patterns can trigger door opening, providing localized security for each authorized user while maintaining hands-free operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Device complexity

If conventional mechanical systems are used for door control, then the system is simple, but the ability to close the door via vocal command is lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem simplicityVSAvoiddoor closing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universality by enabling the voice recognition system to perform multiple functions: opening the door with one vocal command and closing the door with another. The microcontroller is programmed to recognize different voice patterns for different actions, allowing a single system to control both opening and closing operations without requiring separate mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
