Solution Overview

Problem

Current voice recognition technology systems require a wake-up command and multiple authentication steps, limiting their ability to communicate with other users and devices without user input, and do not efficiently manage security factors for identity authentication.

Innovation Solution

A system that analyzes voice commands using natural language processing to dynamically identify users and transmit commands between devices, eliminating the need for wake-up commands and multiple authentications, while managing security factors based on contextual permissions to enable secure communication between multiple artificial intelligence devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple authentication steps are required for voice commands, then security is improved, but device complexity and user convenience deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidauthentication steps
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary authentication of the primary user when they wake the device. Security context and permissions are pre-established during this initial phase, allowing subsequent voice commands from authorized users to be processed without requiring repeated authentication steps, thus reducing complexity while maintaining security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces a security context manager as an intermediary component that handles authentication and permission management. This mediator maintains security context between users and devices, enabling seamless communication without requiring multiple direct authentication steps, thereby simplifying the user experience while preserving security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If wake-up commands are required before voice commands, then device control precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice control precisionVSAvoiduser input requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service operation by allowing authorized users to directly issue voice commands without requiring the primary user to manually wake the device first. The security context manager automatically manages device activation based on the voice command and established security context, eliminating the need for separate wake-up commands and improving ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The voice command system is designed to handle multiple functions including device activation, command execution, and security verification within a single integrated process. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate wake-up commands and authentication steps, allowing users to interact with the device more efficiently while maintaining precise control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If identity authentication is performed for each user, then security is improved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentity authenticationVSAvoidauthentication time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary authentication of the primary user when the device is first activated. Security context and user permissions are pre-established during this initial phase, allowing subsequent voice commands from authorized users to be processed without requiring repeated authentication steps, thus reducing time consumption while maintaining security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Once the primary user is authenticated and security context is established, the system maintains continuous authorization for subsequent voice commands from the same user. This continuous state eliminates the need for repeated authentication cycles, enabling seamless and time-efficient operation while preserving security through ongoing context management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
