Voice Control Permission Handling for New Communication Functions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems struggle to execute new functions related to communication apparatuses without prior user permission, especially as the system expands and new features are added, necessitating a method to appropriately handle voice inputs for function execution.
Innovation Solution
A communication system that includes a server system with a receiving unit for user input permissions and an execution unit that processes voice inputs to execute functions only when user permission is granted, using a voice control device to manage permissions for newly added functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the system executes functions based on voice input without requiring user permission for each function, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability deteriorates because new functions may execute without user consent
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by acquiring user permission in advance for functions that have already been added to the communication apparatus. When a new function is subsequently added, the system checks whether permission has been preliminarily acquired, and only executes the function if permission exists. This preliminary permission acquisition resolves the contradiction by maintaining reliability through user consent while preserving ease of operation through automated voice-based execution.
2Reliability
If the system acquires user permission for every new function before execution, then the reliability is improved, but the productivity deteriorates due to additional permission acquisition steps
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by selectively acquiring user permission only for certain functions that have already been added to the communication apparatus, rather than requiring permission for every single function execution. For newly added functions, the system checks existing permission status and executes immediately if permission is found, avoiding redundant permission acquisition steps. This partial approach maintains reliability for critical functions while improving productivity by eliminating unnecessary permission requests.
3Productivity
If the system automatically executes new functions without prior user permission, then the productivity is improved, but the object-affected harmful factors increase due to potential unauthorized function execution
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by establishing a permission checking mechanism that provides user control over function execution. When a new function is added, the system checks whether permission has been acquired and provides appropriate feedback - either executing the function immediately if permission exists, or requesting permission before execution. This feedback loop eliminates unauthorized function execution while maintaining high productivity through automated voice-based operation, resolving the contradiction between productivity and harmful factors.

AI summary
Provided is an acquisition unit configured to, in a case where a predetermined function is newly added as a function related to a communication apparatus and of which execution is instructed with a voice input to a voice control device, after an input from the user who permits the execution of the at least one function is performed. The acquisition unit acquires information that is based on a predetermined voice input that indicates whether to permit the execution of the predetermined function and that has been received by voice from the user by the voice control device.
