Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional information processing systems using voice recognition cannot modify processing information when it is incorrectly recognized, leading to potential errors in execution.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus with a voice entry part that receives and modifies processing information, allowing operators to select from displayed candidates based on voice instructions, with a controller ensuring the modifications are reflected in the processing, and processing is executed only when correct conditions are met.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If voice recognition is used to receive processing information, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to potential incorrect recognition

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of operationVSAvoidreliability

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system displays the processing information received via voice recognition on the display unit, providing visual feedback to the operator. This allows the operator to verify whether the voice recognition was correct and to make modifications if needed, thereby resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The display unit acts as an intermediary between the voice recognition input and the final processing execution. It provides a intermediate stage where the operator can review and modify the recognized information before it is processed, ensuring reliability while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If voice recognition results are executed directly without display, then productivity is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to inability to correct errors

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveproductivityVSAvoidreliability

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs a preliminary action by displaying the voice recognition results before final processing execution. This allows the operator to review and correct any errors before the processing is carried out, ensuring reliability without significantly impacting productivity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If modification of processing information is not allowed, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability deteriorates due to inability to correct recognition errors

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedevice complexityVSAvoidreliability

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts its operation mode based on the input method. When voice recognition is used, the system enables modification functionality, whereas other input methods may not require it. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain reliability for voice inputs while keeping the overall device complexity manageable.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

An information processing apparatus includes a receiving part that receives processing information based on voice; and a controller that performs control so that the processing information indicated by the voice received by the receiving part is displayed on a display. The receiving part further receives modification of the processing information displayed on the display, and the controller further performs control so that the modification received by the receiving part is reflected in processing received by the receiving part.
