Electronic Device Voice Command Recommendations from Action-Unit Sentences
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users often struggle to perceive available voice commands in electronic devices due to device states, necessitating a technology to notify users of usable voice commands.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device splits sentences into action units, converts them into voice commands, determines their feasibility based on user and device information, and provides recommended voice commands accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device provides all available voice commands to the user, then the user can access complete functionality, but the user interface becomes complex and overwhelming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complete set of voice commands into context-relevant subsets based on current device state, user behavior patterns, and situational factors. Instead of presenting all available commands, the system divides them into prioritized groups that are currently applicable, reducing interface complexity while maintaining access to full functionality when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by tailoring the voice command interface to specific contexts and user situations. Different users receive different recommended commands based on their individual usage patterns, device state, and environmental context, making the interface adaptive to local conditions rather than uniformly complex for all users.
2Measurement precision
If the electronic device analyzes multiple factors to determine feasible voice commands, then the accuracy of recommendations improves, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary analysis by pre-processing user behavior data, device state information, and command feasibility assessments before they are needed for recommendation. The system maintains updated profiles of user preferences and device capabilities, so when a voice command is requested, the system can quickly retrieve pre-analyzed information rather than computing everything from scratch.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by analyzing only the most relevant factors for the current context rather than evaluating all possible variables. The system prioritizes key determinants of command feasibility based on situational importance, performing sufficient analysis to achieve accurate recommendations without the computational overhead of exhaustive evaluation of every possible factor.
3Ease of operation
If the electronic device provides personalized voice commands based on user information, then user satisfaction improves, but the system complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically analyze user behavior patterns and generate personalized command recommendations without requiring manual user configuration. The system observes user interactions, infers preferences and needs, and autonomously tailors the voice command interface to each user's individual usage style, reducing the burden on users while maintaining personalization.
