Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices lack the ability to directly select image content within a content provider using voice recognition, limiting user convenience and accuracy in content selection.

Innovation Solution

A display device equipped with a microphone and a controller that utilizes a screen recognition model to detect content areas on a content provider's screen, output labeling icons, and execute content selection through voice commands, employing both Rule-based and deep learning-based screen recognition models to enhance accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If voice recognition is used for content selection, then user convenience is improved, but the ability to directly select content within a content provider screen is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidcontent selection capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a screen recognition model as an intermediary between the voice recognition system and the content provider screen. This model captures the screen, identifies content areas, and maps voice commands to specific content regions, enabling direct content selection within the content provider interface while maintaining voice recognition convenience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical remote control operation (manual cursor navigation) with a voice-based system enhanced by screen recognition. The screen recognition model automatically identifies content boundaries and coordinates, substituting the mechanical interaction process with an automated vision-based system that enables direct content selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If screen recognition is implemented, then content area detection accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent area detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the screen recognition task into distinct functional modules: screen capture, contour detection, content area identification, and coordinate mapping. This segmentation allows each module to be optimized independently and facilitates integration with existing voice recognition systems without requiring complete system redesign

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The screen recognition model is designed to be universal and adaptable to different content provider screens. By using general image processing techniques and configurable parameters, the system can recognize content areas across various platforms and interfaces without requiring provider-specific customization, thereby managing complexity while maintaining accuracy

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

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses a display device comprising: a communication unit; a display unit; a microphone; and a control unit which acquires screen image data by capturing a content provider screen including at least one piece of content outputted through the display unit upon receiving a wake-up word, inputs the screen image data to a screen recognition model corresponding to the content provider to detect at least one content region, outputs a labeling icon corresponding to each content region by using coordinate information of the content region corresponding to each of the at least one content regions detected by the screen recognition model, and when a user utterance corresponding to any one of the labeling icons is received, executes the content corresponding to the labeling icon.
