Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional voice control technologies often misinterpret non-standard voice instructions, leading to erroneous operations in devices like navigation systems, causing users to waste previous efforts in correcting the errors.

Innovation Solution

A voice control method that includes receiving a voice instruction, performing voice processing to obtain information, and requesting user confirmation before executing the operation, with the option to re-enter the instruction receiving state if the information is incorrect, utilizing user-specific instruction sets, habit models, and external information for accurate operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If voice control system operates directly according to voice processing semantics, then operation speed is improved, but accuracy deteriorates due to non-standard pronunciation causing wrong interpretation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation speedVSAvoidvoice interpretation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary voice information confirmation before executing the operation. It presents the recognized voice information to the user for confirmation, and only executes the operation after receiving affirmative confirmation. This preliminary action prevents erroneous operations caused by non-standard pronunciation while maintaining efficient operation execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If voice control system adds confirmation step for voice information, then accuracy is improved, but operation time increases due to additional interaction steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoice interpretation accuracyVSAvoidoperation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses the user's own voice response for confirmation rather than requiring manual input through keyboards or other interfaces. The user simply speaks to confirm or correct the voice information, which reduces the time cost of the confirmation step while maintaining accuracy. This self-service approach through voice makes the confirmation process as efficient as possible.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If voice control system allows re-entry after wrong operation, then error correction capability is improved, but system complexity increases due to state management requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror correction capabilityVSAvoidsystem state management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides feedback to the user when a wrong operation is detected, informing them that the operation was incorrect. It then automatically returns to the voice input state, allowing the user to re-enter the correct voice instruction. This feedback mechanism enables error correction while keeping the system logic relatively simple through automatic state recovery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A voice control method, a voice control device, a computer readable storage medium, and a computer device are disclosed. The voice control method comprises: receiving, in an instruction receiving state, a voice instruction of a user for a specific operation; performing voice processing on the voice instruction to obtain voice information; transmitting, to the user, a request to confirm the voice information; receiving, from the user, a response to the request; and performing the specific operation if the response confirms that the voice information is correct.
