Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital image capturing devices require manual operations for tasks like taking photos and deleting images, lacking intelligent control functions.
Innovation Solution
An image capturing device equipped with a voice command input unit and a voice command controlling chip that receives and analyzes voice commands to control image capturing operations, allowing users to perform actions such as taking photos or deleting images using voice commands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual button operations are used for controlling image capturing device, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical button pressing operations with voice command recognition. The voice command input unit captures acoustic signals, which are then processed by the controlling chip to execute corresponding operations, thereby eliminating the need for manual mechanical interaction while improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a voice command input unit and a voice command controlling chip as intermediary components between the user and the image capturing operations. These intermediaries translate voice commands into control signals, adding functional complexity but enabling hands-free operation and improved user convenience.
2Ease of operation
If voice command recognition function is added, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the voice command control system into distinct functional modules: a voice command input unit for capturing acoustic signals, a voice command controlling chip for processing and recognizing commands, and a controlling unit for executing operations. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while working together to provide voice-controlled functionality.
3Measurement precision
If standard voice commands are pre-stored, then voice command recognition accuracy is improved, but loss of information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent stores standard voice commands and their corresponding control operations in the voice command controlling chip. When a user speaks a command, the system compares it against the stored standard commands to determine the intended operation, thereby improving recognition accuracy through pre-defined templates while managing information storage requirements.

AI summary
An image capturing device with a voice command controlling function is provided. The image capturing device includes a voice command input unit and a voice command controlling chip. The voice command input unit receives standard voice commands and common voice commands. The voice command controlling chip determines if a common voice command satisfies a predetermined voice command identification standard, by comparing characteristics of the common voice command with characteristics of each of the standard voice commands. If the common voice command satisfies the predetermined voice command identification standard, the voice command controlling chip generates a controlling command according to the common voice command and drives an image capturing unit to perform a corresponding operation according to the command.
