Voice Command Routing for Multi-Device Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing voice operation systems face difficulties in coordinating the operation of multiple devices efficiently through voice commands, particularly in executing complex jobs that require interaction between different devices.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that connects multiple devices via a network, utilizing a mobile terminal, voice recognition server, AI assistant server, and electronic blackboard to recognize and interpret voice commands, and send instruction information to the appropriate devices for coordinated operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If voice data is sent to a server for conversion to control commands, then voice-driven device actions can be performed, but coordinating operations among multiple devices becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the coordination task by assigning a coordinator device role to one of the external devices. This coordinator device is responsible for receiving the high-level instruction from the information processing device and distributing appropriate sub-tasks to other devices in the network, thereby simplifying multi-device coordination without requiring complex centralized control
Solution Approach 2:
The information processing device acts as an intermediary between the user's voice command and the external devices. It receives the voice command, identifies the coordinator device, and sends the instruction to the coordinator rather than directly to each device, facilitating indirect but efficient multi-device coordination
2Adaptability or versatility
If complex jobs requiring coordination among multiple devices are executed, then functionality is enhanced, but execution ease deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Complex jobs are segmented into smaller sub-tasks that can be independently executed by different external devices. The coordinator device receives the complex job instruction and automatically divides it into manageable sub-tasks, allowing each device to perform its specific function without requiring the user to manually coordinate each step
Solution Approach 2:
The coordinator device automatically manages the distribution and coordination of sub-tasks among devices without requiring user intervention. The system performs self-service by autonomously handling the complexity of multi-device coordination, allowing users to simply issue high-level commands

AI summary
An information processing system is connected to a first external device via a network. The information processing system includes circuitry configured to perform: obtaining voice information for operating the first external device; recognizing the voice information obtained at the obtaining; interpreting, from a recognition result obtained at the recognising, processing information indicating processing to be performed in the first external device, first address information identifying the first external device, and second address information identifying a second external device to which the first external device is to send a result of the processing; and sending instruction information including the processing information and the second address information, to the first external device identified by the first address information.
