Voice-Controlled Eye Massager With Temple Airbag Coverage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing eye massagers require users to remove them to interact with the user interface for initiating or adjusting massage operations, which diminishes the user experience and may not fully engage the temples for optimal health benefits.
Innovation Solution
The eye massager utilizes voice recognition technology to initiate and adjust massage operations based on spoken commands, allowing users to control the device without removing it, and includes expanded airbags to cover the entire temples and incorporates sound reduction mechanisms to enhance user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users interact with the user interface to initiate or adjust massage operations, then massage operations can be controlled, but users must remove the eye massager which diminishes the user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical interaction system (buttons, touch interfaces requiring device removal) with a voice recognition system. The voice processing module captures audio signals and processes spoken commands to control massage operations, allowing users to interact with the device without removing it from their face.
2Reliability
If airbags are expanded to cover entire temples, then health benefits are optimized, but device size and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by expanding the airbag coverage specifically to the temple regions while maintaining targeted pressure application. The airbags are configured to cover the entire temples and provide localized pressure to specific acupuncture points, optimizing health benefits without requiring uniform expansion across the entire device.
3Ease of operation
If voice recognition technology is added, then hands-free control is enabled, but device complexity and noise increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a voice processing module as an intermediary between the user and the control system. This module includes audio signal capture, processing, and interpretation components that translate spoken commands into control signals for the massage operations, enabling hands-free control while managing system complexity through modular design.
4Object-affected harmful factors
If noise reduction mechanisms are added, then user experience is enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the harmful noise generated by the air pump motor into a beneficial feature by implementing active noise cancellation. The system captures the motor noise, processes it through the voice processing module, and generates anti-phase noise signals that cancel out the motor noise, creating a quieter user experience.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables hands-free control of massage operations, ensuring full temple engagement and a more soothing experience by reducing noise, thereby improving user convenience and health benefits.
Implementation Method 1
causing an air pump motor to inflate and deflate one or more airbags, in accordance with the set of parameters corresponding to the one or more massage operations
Data Source
AI summary
Disclosed herein are computing system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for initiating a massage operation, a mode of massage or adjusting a parameter or setting of the massage operation or mode, based on audio signals associated with a user speaking. For example, a computing system may be configured to obtain first audio data and determine one or more words based on the first audio data. Moreover, the computing system may be configured to determine the one or more words are included in a predetermined set of words and identify one or more massage operations and corresponding set of parameters associated with the one or more words. Further, the computing system may be configured to cause an air pump motor to inflate and deflate one or more airbags, in accordance with the set of parameters.
