Solution Overview

Problem

Existing voice-controlled display apparatuses do not provide users with interactive information, making it difficult for novice users to understand which voice commands to use, limiting their functionality and usability.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus and method that includes a voice collector and controller to output a voice command guide relevant to the current situation, allowing users to receive system responses and guidance on voice commands, including filtering and executing specific content or applications, by communicating with servers to provide text information and generate voice command guides.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If voice recognition technology is implemented to control display apparatus, then user convenience and intuitive control are improved, but users lack interactive information and guidance on which voice commands to use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoice control convenienceVSAvoidinteractive information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides real-time feedback by outputting system responses corresponding to user voice inputs and generating voice command guides based on current usage conditions. This feedback loop informs users about available commands and their effects, resolving the information gap while maintaining voice control convenience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system generates and outputs voice command guides before users need to use voice commands, providing preliminary information about available commands based on the current situation. This prepares users with the necessary information proactively, eliminating the need for trial-and-error command discovery

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If comprehensive voice command guides are provided to help novice users, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenovice user usabilityVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of providing all possible voice commands at once, the system generates situation-specific voice command guides tailored to the current usage context. This localizes the information provision to where and when it is most needed, improving novice user experience without overwhelming the system with complex comprehensive guidance logic

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The voice command guide is dynamically generated based on the current situation of the display apparatus rather than being a static comprehensive list. This dynamic adaptation simplifies the system architecture compared to managing fixed comprehensive guides while maintaining ease of operation for novice users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
