Voice Command Sharing Across Devices With Environment Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices require users to repeatedly set voice commands for multiple functions across different devices and may not function correctly due to environmental differences between devices.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a processor that receives information on functions, voice commands, and environmental information, allowing it to determine if it can execute functions based on the environment and either perform the functions or guide the user on necessary environment settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If voice commands are shared across multiple electronic devices, then user convenience is improved by eliminating repeated settings, but reliability deteriorates because the voice command may not function correctly due to environmental differences between devices
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary environment verification by comparing the target device's environment information with the source device's environment information before enabling voice command execution. This preliminary check ensures that the voice command will function correctly on the target device by verifying that required functions and environmental conditions are present, thus maintaining reliability while enabling cross-device sharing.
2Reliability
If environment verification is performed before executing voice commands, then reliability is improved by ensuring functions can be executed, but device complexity increases due to additional environment information processing
Solution Approach 1:
The environment information structure is designed to be universal and standardized, containing function information and environmental condition data that can be applied across different device types and platforms. This standardized framework allows the verification system to work universally across various electronic devices without requiring device-specific complex logic, thus managing complexity while ensuring reliability.
