Solution Overview

Problem

Existing remote control systems for image forming apparatuses, such as printers, lack efficient voice command processing and secure authentication methods, limiting user convenience and security in cloud-based printing services.

Innovation Solution

A system that uses a cloud server to convert voice commands into text code blocks, enabling voice-controlled printing jobs through a user terminal, with voice password authentication and language habit-based processing, ensuring secure and intuitive operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If voice command processing is implemented for printing services, then user convenience is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A cloud server is introduced as an intermediary component that receives voice commands from the user terminal, processes them into executable text code blocks, and transmits the results to the image forming apparatus. This mediator approach allows the voice processing complexity to be separated from the printing system, improving ease of operation while managing system complexity through centralized processing.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If voice password authentication is implemented, then security is improved, but operation time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovesecurityVSAvoidauthentication time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs voice password authentication in advance before allowing voice command processing. By validating the user's identity through voice authentication prior to command execution, the system ensures security without delaying the actual printing operations, as the authentication is completed beforehand.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If text code blocks are converted from voice commands, then command accuracy is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommand accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces manual text input with automated voice-to-text conversion using speech recognition technology. The cloud server converts voice commands into text code blocks through automated processing, improving command accuracy by eliminating typing errors while the automated nature of the conversion minimizes processing time compared to manual input methods.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A cloud server for converting a voice command into text code blocks that support a printing service is presented. The cloud server includes a communicator, a processor, and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor. The processor executes the instructions to convert a voice command received from a user terminal through the communicator into text code blocks supporting a printing service and to control the communicator to transmit the text code blocks to the user terminal.
