Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional telephone consulting systems provide responses only through voice, making it difficult for users to accurately understand and obtain information, leading to user frustration.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device equipped with a trained artificial intelligence model that provides responses to user inquiries both as voice and image, utilizing a personal assistant program to facilitate communication with external servers for text-to-image and voice conversions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional telephone consulting provides responses only through voice, then the system structure remains simple, but user understanding accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser understanding accuracyVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines voice response and image response into a unified consulting system. The server generates both voice messages and corresponding images, and the terminal displays both modalities simultaneously, allowing users to understand information more accurately through dual-channel presentation while maintaining integrated system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds the visual dimension to the traditional auditory-only telephone consulting system. By generating and displaying images alongside voice responses, the system transforms a one-dimensional (voice) communication into a two-dimensional (voice + image) communication, significantly improving user understanding accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If conventional telephone requires users to respond to predetermined voice messages one by one, then the system operation remains simple, but user convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidsystem operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables users to directly input their own inquiry messages rather than being forced to follow predetermined voice message sequences. The system processes user-generated inquiries and provides customized responses, allowing users to obtain information more efficiently according to their specific needs without being constrained by fixed response templates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Loss of information

If telephone consulting provides only voice responses, then the response modality remains simple, but information transmission completeness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation transmission completenessVSAvoidresponse modality complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges voice response and image response into a comprehensive information transmission system. The server generates both voice messages and corresponding images that work together to convey complete information, ensuring that users receive full and accurate consulting content through multiple complementary channels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
