Voice Command Activation Without Touch Input
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing voice recognition systems in electronic devices require initial touch input to launch the voice recognition application, which is inconvenient and time-consuming, especially when the device is locked or in idle mode.
Innovation Solution
A system that detects a voice signal containing a wakeup command, activates a voice command mode, and transmits a portion of the signal to a server to generate a control or result signal, allowing voice commands to be executed without physical touch input, by recognizing a predetermined speaker or predefined command.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the voice recognition application is launched through touch input on a separate key or touchscreen, then the voice recognition function can be activated, but the operation becomes inconvenient and time-consuming, especially when the device is locked or in idle mode
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by continuously monitoring for wakeup commands even when the device is in locked or idle state. The voice recognition application is pre-configured to be activatable through wakeup command detection, eliminating the need for manual launching and enabling immediate voice command processing when detected.
Solution Approach 2:
The voice recognition system provides self-service by automatically detecting wakeup commands and activating itself without requiring user interaction through touch. The system monitors for predefined wakeup phrases and autonomously launches the voice recognition application, making the activation process independent of manual user actions.
2Ease of operation
If the voice recognition application is manually launched by finding it in the display screen, then the application can be activated, but the process becomes difficult and time-consuming in some circumstances
Solution Approach 1:
The voice recognition system activates itself automatically by monitoring for wakeup commands, eliminating the need for users to manually locate and launch the application from the display screen. The system performs self-launching when it detects the predefined wakeup phrase, saving time and simplifying the activation process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is pre-configured with wakeup command detection capability that operates continuously or periodically, allowing it to automatically activate the voice recognition application when the wakeup command is detected, without requiring users to search through the display screen for the application.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the device requires touch input to activate voice recognition, then the application can be launched, but the unique function of voice recognition for facilitating data input without touch is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The voice recognition system activates itself through automatic wakeup command detection without requiring any touch input from the user. The system monitors for predefined wakeup phrases and autonomously launches the voice recognition application, maintaining the touch-free operation capability that is unique to voice recognition systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is pre-configured to detect wakeup commands and automatically activate voice recognition without touch input. This preliminary configuration enables the system to maintain its touch-free operation capability by eliminating the requirement for manual application launching through touchscreen or physical key interaction.

AI summary
An apparatus and method for executing a voice command in an electronic device. In an exemplary embodiment, a voice signal is detected and speech thereof is recognized. When the recognized speech contains a wakeup command, a voice command mode is activated, and a signal containing at least a portion of the detected voice signal is transmitted to a server. The server generates a control signal or a result signal corresponding to the voice command, and transmits the same to the electronic device. The device receives and processes the control or result signal, and awakens. Thereby, voice commands are executed without the need for the user to physically touch the electronic device.
