In-Vehicle Voice Response Updates via Wireless Definition Sync
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing devices in vehicles lack the ability to easily change the content of dialogue with users, as updating definition information for responding to user utterances is cumbersome without wireless communication.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that receives update information for definition information via wireless communication from a server, allowing it to easily modify its responses to user utterances by associating user content with device functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If definition information is updated using traditional methods (without wireless communication), then system reliability is maintained, but ease of operation deteriorates due to cumbersome updating process
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical/manual updating methods with wireless communication technology. The definition information is transmitted wirelessly from an external server to the in-vehicle device, eliminating the need for physical media insertion, manual file copying, or complex update procedures. This substitution dramatically simplifies the updating process and reduces the time required while maintaining system reliability through standardized communication protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an external server as an intermediary for storing and distributing definition information updates. Instead of requiring direct user intervention or complex update mechanisms within the vehicle, the server acts as a centralized repository that automatically provides updated definition information to the in-vehicle device via wireless communication, streamlining the entire update process.
2Adaptability or versatility
If definition information is updated frequently to improve dialogue content, then adaptability improves, but device complexity increases due to update management
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the definition information storage and update management function from the in-vehicle device and places it in an external server. The in-vehicle device only needs to periodically request and receive updates, significantly reducing its complexity. The server handles the heavy lifting of storing multiple versions of definition information, managing updates, and ensuring data integrity, while the vehicle device maintains a simple update reception mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the in-vehicle device automatically check for and download definition information updates before they are needed for operation. The device periodically contacts the server to check for new versions and retrieves updates proactively, ensuring that the latest dialogue content is available without requiring complex real-time update management or user intervention during operation.
Data Source
AI summary
A control unit of an information processing device mounted on a vehicle stores definition information that associates the content of an utterance by a vehicle user that instructs a predetermined device in the vehicle to execute a predetermined function with a response to the utterance. Update information for updating is received from a predetermined server device by wireless communication. Then, the control unit of the information processing device updates the definition information based on the update information.
