Solution Overview

Problem

Current voice control technologies in display apparatuses often misinterpret simple keywords, leading to unintended operations due to misrecognition, failing to accurately perform the user's intended actions.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus with a voice input circuit, voice converter, and controller that converts voice input into text and applies multiple determination criteria to ensure accurate interpretation and execution of user intentions, including matching with screen titles, commands, and grammatical analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If voice control technology is used to control display apparatus, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to misrecognition of simple keywords

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidreliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer between voice input and command execution. The voice recognition result is first converted to text, then subjected to multiple determination criteria including title matching, command matching, and grammar analysis before final execution. This intermediary processing prevents direct execution of potentially misrecognized commands while maintaining the convenience of voice control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by evaluating voice recognition results against multiple determination criteria and providing different outcomes based on the evaluation. When a voice input matches a title or command with high confidence, the system executes the corresponding operation. When confidence is low or the input is ambiguous, the system provides alternative responses or requests clarification, thereby improving reliability without sacrificing ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple determination criteria are applied to voice input, then manufacturing precision is improved in terms of accurate interpretation, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterpretation accuracyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the voice interpretation process into multiple independent determination criteria: title matching, command matching, and grammar analysis. Each criterion operates independently and contributes to the final interpretation decision. This segmentation allows the system to achieve high interpretation accuracy through cumulative evaluation while maintaining modularity that manages complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies multiple determination criteria beyond what a single criterion would provide. By evaluating voice inputs against multiple standards (title matching, command matching, grammar analysis), the system achieves excessive interpretation accuracy that compensates for the increased complexity, ensuring reliable operation even when individual criteria are ambiguous.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
