Voice Interface for Electronic Eyewear Settings and Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wearable electronic devices, such as electronic eyewear, face challenges in conveniently adjusting settings and navigating system information due to limited interfaces, often requiring access to a paired device for simple adjustments like brightness or battery level checks.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a voice-controlled interface that recognizes general-purpose voice commands for setting adjustments and navigation, allowing users to adjust settings and navigate system information using voice commands without needing to access a paired device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a voice-controlled interface is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a voice interface as an intermediary between the user and the electronic eyewear device. The voice interface includes a voice processor that receives and processes voice commands, translating spoken instructions into device control actions. This intermediary layer simplifies user interaction for setting adjustments and navigation while managing the complexity internally through structured voice processing protocols.
2Productivity
If voice commands are used for settings adjustment, then productivity is improved, but loss of information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The voice interface implements feedback mechanisms to confirm voice command recognition and execution. When a user issues a voice command for settings adjustment or navigation, the system provides auditory or visual feedback confirming the command was received, interpreted correctly, and executed as intended. This feedback loop prevents information loss by ensuring users verify that their voice inputs produced the desired outcomes.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method for controlling an electronic eyewear device using voice commands receives audio data from a microphone, processes the audio data to identify a wake word, and upon identification of a wake word, processes the audio data to identify at least one action keyword in the audio data. The audio data is provided to one of a plurality of controllers associated with different action keywords or sets of action keywords to implement an action. For example, the audio data may be provided to a settings controller to adjust settings of the electronic eyewear device when the action keyword is indicative of a request to adjust a setting of the electronic eyewear device or to a navigation controller to navigate to the system information of the electronic eyewear device when the action keyword is indicative of a request to navigate to system information of the electronic eyewear device.
