Voice Input Device Management System for Multi-Device Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing voice recognition systems for controlling multiple electronic devices require users to explicitly mention the device name in voice commands, leading to increased complexity and potential for erroneous operations, especially when switching from single-device to multi-device control systems.
Innovation Solution
A device management system that recognizes operation instructions from voice input and determines whether additional device information is present, allowing for the omission of device names in voice commands for frequently used devices, using a database to specify the intended device and execute commands accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users explicitly mention device names in voice commands for multi-device control, then device control accuracy is improved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines the target device based on the voice command context and device state, without requiring users to explicitly mention device names. The device management server performs automatic device identification and command routing, making the system self-serve the user's intent inference.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of device identification from explicit name-based identification to implicit context-based identification. By analyzing the voice command content and current device states, the system dynamically determines the intended target device without requiring the user to specify the device name.
2Measurement precision
If the system requires device names in all voice commands, then device specification precision is improved, but user error potential increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device management server acts as an intermediary between the voice input and device execution. It receives the voice command, analyzes the context, determines the intended target device, and then executes the command. This intermediary layer prevents user errors by correctly identifying the target device even when the user omits the device name.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs automatic device identification and command validation, self-correcting potential user errors. By analyzing the voice command context and device states, the system ensures the command is routed to the correct device without requiring explicit device name specification from the user.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system supports multiple devices, then device versatility is improved, but command interpretation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the voice command interpretation process into distinct steps: receiving the voice command, analyzing the context, determining the target device, and executing the command. This segmentation is handled by the device management server, which processes each step systematically to manage the complexity of multi-device control.
Solution Approach 2:
The device management server provides a universal interface for controlling multiple devices. It handles various voice commands and device types through a unified command interpretation mechanism, making the system versatile while managing complexity centrally rather than in each individual device.
Data Source
AI summary
Methods, systems, and media for managing a plurality of target devices are provided. A voice command is received by an input associated with a first target device. The voice command includes first voice information and indicates an operation instruction. The first voice information includes identification information. The first target device is specified by referencing a database in which the identification information and a device ID of the first target device are associated. It is determined whether the voice command includes second voice information that identifies a second target device as an operation object for the operation instruction. When the second voice information is not included, the first target device is caused to execute the operation instruction. When the second voice information is included, a control command is transmitted to the second target device for causing the second target device to execute the operation instruction.
