Voice Input Image Forming System Confirmation Screen
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image forming systems lack the ability to effectively display a confirmation screen to users when operation instructions are given vocally, particularly for complex settings like image quality adjustments, where users need visual confirmation of changes made.
Innovation Solution
An image forming system equipped with a display panel, voice inputter, and hardware processor that analyzes voice commands, determines the selection of adjustment functions, and displays a selection screen on the panel if a setting value is not provided in the voice input, allowing users to visually confirm and select appropriate settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If voice input is used for operation instructions, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability of setting accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays a confirmation screen showing the parsed voice command and intended settings, allowing the user to verify accuracy before execution. This feedback loop ensures that voice inputs are correctly interpreted and provides an opportunity to correct any misinterpretations, thereby maintaining reliability while preserving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary parsing and interpretation of the voice command, then presents the resulting settings on a confirmation screen before final execution. This preliminary action allows the user to review and adjust settings if needed, ensuring accurate configuration while maintaining the convenience of voice input.
2Ease of operation
If voice input is used for complex settings, then ease of operation is improved, but measurement precision of setting value deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The confirmation screen displays the parsed setting values with visual indicators, allowing users to verify that the voice-recognized values match their intentions. Users can review numerical values, selections, and parameters before confirmation, ensuring precise setting application while maintaining voice input convenience.
3Reliability
If confirmation screen is displayed for voice commands, then reliability is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs voice command parsing and setting preparation in advance, presenting the results on a confirmation screen before final execution. This preliminary action organizes the information beforehand, allowing for quick user verification and confirmation, thereby minimizing the time penalty while ensuring reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The confirmation screen displays only the essential setting parameters and changes that require user attention, rather than showing all possible details. This selective presentation reduces the time required for user review while maintaining sufficient information for reliable verification of critical settings.

AI summary
An image forming system includes: a display panel; a voice inputter that receives an instruction by voice; and a hardware processor that: analyzes a voice content that has been received by the voice inputter; determines input regarding setting of at least one or more of preliminarily provided adjustment functions based on an analysis result from the hardware processor; determines whether the voice content contains input of a setting value of a corresponding adjustment function based on a determination result from the hardware processor; and displays a selection screen on the display panel based on a determination result from the hardware processor when the voice content does not contain the input of a setting value of a corresponding adjustment function.
