Solution Overview

Problem

Existing voice controlling methods for terminal devices have a low controlling degree and cannot meet user demands, particularly failing to replace operations such as button clicking, list sliding, and text inputting, resulting in a poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method involving voice information transmission to a cloud server to determine and generate voice control instructions, which are then used to control terminal device operations, including crawling interface voice controls and providing prompt information to users.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If voice controlling methods are used for terminal devices, then hands-free operation is enabled, but the controlling degree is low and cannot replace operations like button clicking, list sliding, and text inputting

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehands-free operationVSAvoidcontrolling degree
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the voice controlling process into multiple stages: voice input acquisition, voiceprint recognition to identify user intent, and structured command parsing to break down complex operations. This segmentation enables the system to handle different types of operations (button clicking, text input, list navigation) separately, thereby increasing the overall controlling degree while maintaining hands-free operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer between voice input and device execution that includes voiceprint recognition and command interpretation modules. This intermediary layer transforms simple voice commands into structured control instructions, enabling complex operations like text input and list sliding to be performed through voice, thus enhancing the controlling degree without compromising hands-free operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If cloud server processing is used to determine voice controls, then controlling accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoice control accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the complex voice processing and recognition functions from the terminal device and relocates them to a cloud server. The terminal device only needs to capture voice input and transmit it to the cloud, while the cloud server handles voiceprint recognition, command interpretation, and control instruction generation. This extraction improves voice control accuracy through powerful cloud-based processing while minimizing the complexity burden on the terminal device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The cloud server is designed as a universal platform that handles multiple types of voice controls and operations across different terminal devices. By consolidating voice recognition, voiceprint matching, and command generation functions in a single multi-functional cloud service, the system achieves high accuracy without requiring each terminal device to have complex local processing capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for voice controlling, a terminal device, a cloud server and a system. The method includes: receiving voice information that the user performs voice controlling on a terminal device; transmitting voice information to the cloud server, so that the cloud server determines, according to the voice information, a voice control and a control instruction that match the voice information in the current interface, and generates a corresponding voice control instruction; receiving the voice control instruction transmitted by the cloud server; and controlling, according to the voice control instruction, a corresponding voice control of the terminal device to perform an operation. The method of the embodiments of the present disclosure achieves controlling over the controls in the interface through the voice, which deepens the controlling degree of the voice over the terminal device, and improves the user experience.
