Solution Overview

Problem

Current voice control technologies limit screen utilization by displaying only one voice control window at a time, preventing multiple users from simultaneously controlling multiple windows, which fails to meet the voice control needs of multiple users.

Innovation Solution

A voice control method and apparatus that splits the display terminal into multiple voice control windows, creating a voice control relationship between users and target windows based on user voice information, allowing multiple users to control different windows through voice commands, with features like near-field and far-field voice recognition and dynamic window allocation based on user proximity and voice features.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If only one voice control window is displayed at a time, then the control simplicity is maintained, but the screen utilization is limited and multiple users cannot simultaneously control multiple windows

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-user simultaneous control capabilityVSAvoidscreen utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the single voice control window into multiple independent voice control windows, allowing different users to control different windows simultaneously. Each window maintains independent voice control functionality, enabling parallel operations without interference between users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a single-dimensional (one window) voice control interface to a multi-dimensional interface by displaying multiple voice control windows simultaneously on the screen, effectively utilizing screen real estate and enabling concurrent multi-user interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If multiple voice control windows are displayed simultaneously, then screen utilization is enhanced and multiple users can control multiple windows, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoice control efficiencyVSAvoidvoice control system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The voice control system is segmented into multiple independent control modules, each associated with a specific window and user. This modular approach allows the system to handle multiple voice control tasks in parallel while maintaining manageable complexity through clear separation of control logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a universal voice control framework that can simultaneously serve multiple users and windows. The underlying voice recognition and command processing mechanisms are designed to be reusable across different windows, reducing overall system complexity despite the increased number of controlled elements.

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

3Ease of operation

If voice control windows are dynamically allocated based on user proximity and voice features, then the ease of operation is improved, but the measurement precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic window assignment easeVSAvoidvoice feature recognition precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors user position, voice characteristics, and window states to dynamically adjust voice control window assignments. This feedback mechanism allows the system to automatically optimize the matching between users and windows based on real-time conditions, improving ease of operation while managing precision requirements through adaptive adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes changes in voice parameters (such as volume, tone, and recognition confidence) and user position parameters to dynamically determine window assignments. By monitoring these parameter changes in real-time, the system can automatically allocate windows to the most appropriate users without requiring extremely high measurement precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
