Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices face challenges in accurately recognizing voice inputs, especially in quiet environments or when connected to external displays, due to degraded microphone sensitivity, which limits the usability of voice-assisted commands.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a processor, microphone, and memory that maps voice inputs to tasks, allowing execution of tasks based on single voice commands and displaying corresponding text or GUIs on external displays, enabling quick command generation and execution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the electronic device is connected to an external display device through the relay device in DEX mode, then the display functionality is enhanced, but the microphone sensitivity is degraded causing inaccurate voice recognition
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the input method into separate modes: voice input mode for hands-free operation and touch input mode for precise control. The system segments the user interaction based on the operational context, allowing the microphone to be used when needed while relying on touch input when the relay device is connected, thus resolving the contradiction between display enhancement and voice recognition accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a relay device as an intermediary component that enables connection to external display devices while managing the microphone sensitivity issue. The relay device acts as a mediator between the electronic device and external displays, allowing the system to switch between different input methods (voice vs. touch) based on the connection state, thereby resolving the contradiction between enhanced display functionality and accurate voice recognition.
2Ease of operation
If the user uses voice input to execute tasks, then the convenience of hands-free operation is improved, but the user feels uncomfortable in quiet environments or public places where utterance is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic input method selection system that adapts to different usage scenarios. The system can switch between voice input mode and touch input mode based on the user's needs and environmental conditions. This dynamic adaptability allows the system to provide hands-free convenience when needed while falling back to touch input in environments where voice input is uncomfortable, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and environmental adaptability.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple touch inputs are required to perform a task, then the task execution precision is improved, but the operation time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates shortcut icons that pre-configure and store sequences of multiple touch inputs as single actionable elements. When a user interacts with a shortcut icon, the system executes the pre-stored sequence of actions automatically, eliminating the need for the user to perform multiple separate touch inputs. This preliminary action approach maintains task execution precision while significantly reducing operation time and complexity.

AI summary
An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a display, a microphone, a communication circuit, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, implement the method. The method includes determining whether the electronic device is communicatively coupled to an external display device, when the electronic device is not communicatively coupled to the external display, receiving a first user utterance, executing a task corresponding to at least one of a word, phrase or sentence included in the first user utterance as indicated by the mapping, the task preconfigured by a user, and when the electronic device is communicatively coupled to the external display device, displaying at least one of a text and a graphical user interface (GUI) indicating the at least one word, phrase, and sentence on the external display.
