Voice Assistant Response Control for Multi-User State Awareness
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current voice assistant services on electronic devices cannot adequately consider the environment or the needs of multiple users, leading to inadequate interaction and service performance.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device determines the current user state and environment by using sensors and communicates with target devices to tailor responses to user instructions, considering the requirements of multiple users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the voice assistant service considers only the user's requirement, then the service is simple and easy to implement, but the service performance is insufficient and cannot meet requirements of multiple users
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the service environment into multiple monitoring zones with different noise level thresholds. Each zone is independently configured and monitored, allowing the voice assistant to adapt responses based on which zone the user is in, thereby improving service performance without overwhelming complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a peripheral device as an intermediary that monitors environmental noise levels and communicates this information to the electronic device. This mediator handles the complex sensing and communication tasks, allowing the voice assistant to focus on adapting its service based on the provided environmental data
2Measurement precision
If the electronic device monitors environmental noise levels directly, then the response accuracy improves, but the device complexity increases due to additional sensors and processing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a peripheral device as an intermediary to perform noise level monitoring and communication. This peripheral device handles the complex sensing and data transmission tasks, allowing the main electronic device to maintain simplicity while still achieving accurate environmental awareness through the mediator's capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The peripheral device serves multiple functions: it monitors environmental noise levels, determines which monitoring zone the user is in, and communicates this information to the electronic device. This multi-functional approach improves measurement precision without requiring the main device to incorporate multiple specialized components

AI summary
An electronic device control method and apparatus relate to the field of intelligent terminal technologies. An electronic device receives a voice instruction through a voice assistant and determines a current user state of at least one user in an area to which the electronic device belongs. The electronic device may respond to the entered voice instruction based on the current user state of the at least one use and may determine the current user state of the at least one user in the area to which the electronic device belongs, and may respond to the entered voice instruction based on the obtained current user state.
