Voice Feature Image Generation for Call Log Recall
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users struggle to recall information about non-stored phone numbers, as existing call logs only provide time, date, and phone number data, making it difficult to identify the other party or recall past calls without stored photos or additional information.
Innovation Solution
An image information display method and apparatus that analyzes voice data to extract feature data and creates an image of the other party, which can be displayed on call screens, log screens, or phonebook screens, incorporating additional information like time, weather, and ambient noise to aid recall.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If only basic call log information (time, date, phone number) is displayed, then the device complexity is low, but the ease of operation deteriorates because users cannot easily recall or identify the other party of non-stored phone numbers
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary voice analysis during the call to extract feature data (pitch, tone, energy, timbre) before the call ends. This preliminary extraction of voice characteristics allows the system to generate and store image information in advance, so that when users view call logs, they can immediately see visual representations of the other party without needing to manually store photos or remember voice characteristics.
2Loss of information
If voice analysis and image generation functions are added to extract feature data and create visual representations, then the ease of operation improves by enabling better recall, but the device complexity increases due to additional processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of storing actual photos or detailed voice recordings, the system creates simplified visual representations (images) based on extracted voice feature data. These images serve as copies or representations of the other party's voice characteristics, allowing users to recall call information visually without needing to store the original complex voice data or photos. The image information acts as a compact visual copy that preserves essential identification features.

AI summary
An image information display method according to an embodiment of this invention may includes receiving voice data of the other party of a call connection through the call connection, extracting feature data of the other party by analyzing the received voice data, creating an image associated with the other party, based on the extracted feature data, storing the created image in connection with information associated the other party, and displaying the stored image when an event associated with the other party occurs. Other embodiments are possible.
