Voice-Controlled Mobile Device Remote via TV Intermediary
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face limitations in controlling mobile devices from a distance, as they require physical proximity to directly operate personal apparatuses, restricting functionality when the device is not nearby.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus equipped with a voice receiver, communication interface, and processor that identifies and connects to mobile devices using voice prints, allowing voice-controlled operation, including transmitting control signals and receiving responses, enabling remote control of mobile devices through a public apparatus like a TV.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If direct control of mobile apparatus is used, then control reliability is improved, but user accessibility deteriorates when device is not physically near
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a TV as an intermediary device that receives voice input from the user and transmits control signals to the mobile apparatus. This mediator enables remote control operations without requiring the user to be physically near the mobile device, resolving the contradiction between control reliability and user accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical/physical proximity requirement with a voice-based acoustic system. Instead of requiring direct physical contact or close proximity to the mobile apparatus for control, the system uses voice recognition and transmission through the TV to establish control, substituting the mechanical constraint with an acoustic field-based solution.
2Reliability
If voice recognition is implemented for device identification, then security is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses voice print templates stored in the system as reference copies for comparison. When a user speaks, the system captures the voice signal and compares it against the stored voice print template to identify the user and authorize control operations. This copying approach enables security verification without requiring complex cryptographic protocols or multiple authentication factors.

AI summary
An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a voice receiver, a communication interface, and a processor configured to, based on a user voice being obtained through the voice receiver, identify a mobile apparatus having a user account corresponding to the user voice from among at least one mobile apparatus communicably connected to the electronic apparatus through the communication interface, and transmit a control signal corresponding to the user voice to the identified mobile apparatus through the communication interface.
