Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual control using portable devices is used, then control functionality is achieved, but user accessibility deteriorates when portable devices are not carried
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a voice collecting device as an intermediary that captures voice commands and transmits them to the target electronic device. This mediator enables control without requiring the user to carry a portable control device, as the voice command itself serves as the control signal carrier.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical interaction of manually operating a portable control device with acoustic interaction through voice commands. The voice-based control system substitutes the physical manipulation of buttons or interfaces with speech recognition, eliminating the need for portable control devices.
2Ease of operation
If voice control system is implemented, then control accessibility is improved, but system complexity increases due to voice signal processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the voice control system into distinct functional modules: a voice collecting device for capturing voice signals, a communication interface for transmitting signals, and a processing system for interpreting commands. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, managing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The voice collecting device and processing system are designed to handle multiple types of voice commands and control various different target devices through a unified interface. This multi-functionality reduces the need for device-specific control mechanisms, thereby managing complexity while maintaining versatility.
3Extent of automation
If automatic voice command generation through learning is added, then user convenience is enhanced, but device complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary learning of user voice patterns and preferred commands during non-critical periods, building a knowledge base of user behavior. This preliminary action allows the system to automatically generate appropriate voice commands based on learned patterns, reducing the need for complex real-time decision-making during actual control operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically learns and adapts to user preferences through continuous interaction, generating voice commands autonomously based on observed patterns. This self-service capability reduces the need for manual programming or complex external processing, as the system improves its own performance through experience.

AI summary
A voice controlling method including determining a generating location of the voice signal when the voice signal is detected by one of a plurality of voice collecting devices. First voice collecting devices are determined from the plurality of voice collecting devices according to the generating location of the voice signal. Each of the first voice collecting devices is controlled to collect voice signals to obtain a plurality of collected voice signals. Once one or more preset voice commands are obtained by identifying the plurality of collected voice signals, a plurality of target devices are controlled to perform corresponding operations according to the one or more preset voice commands.
