Voice Interaction Device Speaker Condition Inquiry Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing voice interaction devices struggle to accurately monitor the conditions of speakers during voice interaction, as image and voice recognition technologies fail to effectively understand the physical and situational conditions of the speaker.
Innovation Solution
A voice interaction device equipped with a processor that recognizes utterance content from speaker voice data, generates and outputs utterance sentences to inquire about speaker conditions, allowing for separate monitoring of speaker conditions during interaction, and can identify and notify secondary interaction partners of primary speaker conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If image recognition or voice recognition is used to detect speaker characteristics, then voice interaction can be performed with an agent image, but the physical conditions of the speaker cannot be accurately monitored
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a condition inquiry mechanism as an intermediary between the voice interaction system and the speaker. The system generates utterance sentences that specifically inquire about speaker conditions (such as fatigue, hunger, thirst) and uses the speaker's responses to monitor their state. This intermediary approach allows the system to obtain condition information that cannot be directly measured by traditional image or voice recognition.
2Measurement precision
If the system continuously monitors speaker conditions during voice interaction, then speaker conditions can be tracked, but the interaction burden on the speaker increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic condition inquiry during voice interaction, where the system asks about speaker conditions at predetermined intervals rather than continuously. This periodic approach allows condition monitoring to be performed systematically without creating excessive interaction burden, as the inquiries are spaced out during the natural flow of voice interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The condition inquiry process is integrated into the ongoing voice interaction, making the monitoring continuous without interrupting the primary interaction flow. The system maintains the useful action of voice interaction while embedding condition monitoring within it, ensuring that monitoring occurs naturally as part of the interaction rather than as a separate burden.
3Measurement precision
If the system inquires about speaker conditions at frequent intervals, then condition monitoring accuracy improves, but the interaction time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by selecting specific, key conditions to inquire about rather than asking about all possible speaker states. The system focuses on monitoring critical conditions (fatigue, hunger, thirst) that are most relevant to speaker safety and interaction quality, rather than attempting to monitor every possible condition, thus reducing time consumption while maintaining effective monitoring accuracy.
Data Source
AI summary
A voice interaction device includes a processor configured to recognize an utterance content from data of voice of a speaker. The processor is configured to perform voice interaction with the speaker by repeating a process of generating data of an utterance sentence based on the utterance content of the speaker and outputting the data of an utterance sentence by voice. The processor is configured to generate the data of the utterance sentence for inquiring about conditions of the speaker and to output the data of the utterance sentence by voice during execution of the voice interaction with the speaker.
