Voice Control Apparatus with Confirmation Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing voice-controlled systems require users to check and approve control content, leading to delays in actual control execution.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that recognizes voice data, outputs confirmation voice data to the user, and automatically controls predetermined equipment unless a stop instruction is received during the confirmation process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the user checks and approves control content manually, then the reliability of control is improved, but the time required for control execution increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically executing control content after voice recognition without waiting for user approval. The control apparatus prepares and executes control commands based on recognized voice data, only stopping when user data indicating cancellation is received during the notification period. This eliminates the manual checking and approval steps that caused time delay while maintaining control reliability through the notification mechanism.
2Speed
If automatic control is implemented without approval, then the speed of control execution is improved, but the risk of erroneous control increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by notifying the user of the recognized voice data and intended control content before execution. During the notification time period, the user can provide feedback by inputting user data to stop control if necessary. This feedback mechanism allows the system to maintain high execution speed through automatic control while preventing erroneous control through user verification during the notification phase.
3Ease of operation
If the system waits for user approval before control, then the ease of operation is improved, but the productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies dynamics by creating a flexible control flow where the user can choose between manual approval (for enhanced convenience) or automatic execution (for improved productivity). During the notification time period, the user can input user data to stop control if desired, or simply wait for automatic execution. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt to different user needs and optimize both ease of operation and productivity based on real-time user behavior.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a voice data input device (a microphone) to which voice data is input; a user data input device (an input device) to which user data is input from a user; and a controller. The controller recognizes first voice data input to the voice data input device (the microphone), outputs second voice data indicating that predetermined equipment is to be controlled based on a recognition result the first voice data, and controls the predetermined equipment based on the recognition result after the second voice data is notified, but stops controlling the predetermined equipment if user data indicating that control of the predetermined equipment is to be stopped is received during a time period when the second voice data is being notified.
