Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inconvenience when their terminal devices, such as computers or mobile phones, are lost, damaged, or replaced, as reconfiguring calendar reminder events and phonebooks becomes a hassle.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent voice reminder system comprising a terminal device, a player, and a server connected via a network, where the server includes a storage, processor, and transceiver, allowing voice inputs to retrieve and play calendar reminder events or phonebooks, and output reminder signals to the terminal device when connected, ensuring seamless data access and reminders.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If terminal device data is stored locally on the device, then data access is fast and reliable, but data is lost when the device is lost, damaged, or replaced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata availabilityVSAvoiddata loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a cloud-based copy of terminal device data (calendar events, phonebooks) stored on a server. This copy allows data to be retrieved and played through a player device even when the original terminal device is lost or damaged, resolving the contradiction between local data reliability and data loss prevention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If data is synchronized to a cloud server, then data can be accessed after device loss, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice replacement capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the terminal device and the player device. The server stores data and facilitates communication between devices, enabling data access after device replacement while managing system complexity through a centralized mediation point.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically detects device connections and triggers data retrieval and playback without requiring manual user configuration. The server autonomously manages data synchronization and playback initiation, reducing the complexity burden on users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If voice recognition is implemented for data retrieval, then ease of operation improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata retrieval convenienceVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and storing data in the cloud before it is needed. When voice input is given, the server can quickly retrieve pre-organized data without requiring complex real-time processing, thus maintaining ease of operation while minimizing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
