Voice Interaction Module for Map Client Energy Point Visibility Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current navigation systems for autonomous driving, such as NGP, do not allow users to conveniently enable or disable the display of energy supplement points on a map during vehicle travel, requiring manual interaction which is unsafe and inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A voice interaction method and system where a voice interaction software development kit on a vehicle's map client communicates with a server to receive and process voice requests for controlling the display of energy supplement points, allowing users to adjust their visibility through voice commands, thereby enhancing safety and convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual operation is used to adjust display of energy supplement points, then display control functionality is achieved, but user safety and convenience deteriorate due to distraction during vehicle travel
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical interaction (touchscreen gestures, button presses) with voice-based acoustic interaction. The voice interaction module captures spoken commands from the user, converts them to text through speech recognition, and executes corresponding display adjustment operations, thereby eliminating the need for manual hand operations during vehicle travel.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a voice interaction module as an intermediary between the user and the map client system. This module serves as a mediator that translates natural language voice commands into structured control instructions, enabling indirect but safer interaction with the display system without requiring direct manual manipulation of the touchscreen or controls.
2Reliability
If voice interaction is implemented, then user safety and convenience are improved, but device complexity increases due to additional software components
Solution Approach 1:
The voice interaction module is designed with multi-functionality, serving not only for adjusting energy supplement point displays but potentially for various other map client operations. This universal approach allows a single software component to handle multiple interaction scenarios, reducing the need for separate specialized modules for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the voice interaction module with the existing map client and navigation system architecture. The voice interaction module integrates with the display control module and speech recognition system, combining multiple functions into a unified software framework rather than adding entirely separate independent systems.
3Adaptability or versatility
If voice interaction software development kit is integrated, then functionality is enhanced, but software integration complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the voice interaction system into distinct functional modules: the voice interaction module for command capture, the speech recognition module for text conversion, and the display control module for execution. This segmentation allows each component to be developed, tested, and maintained independently, reducing overall integration complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The voice interaction module serves as an intermediary layer between the speech recognition system and the map client control system. It translates recognized speech into standardized control commands that the existing map client can understand and execute, providing a buffer that simplifies integration with legacy systems.

AI summary
A voice interaction method, apparatus and system, a vehicle, and a storage medium are provided. The vehicle has a voice interaction software development kit pre-installed on its map client. The voice interaction method includes: acquiring a user's speech request, the speech request being related to display of energy supplement points for the vehicle; receiving, via the voice interaction software development kit, an instruction to display energy supplement points generated by a server in response to the speech request, so that the voice interaction software development kit generates a corresponding instruction callback; and controlling, based on the instruction callback, the map client to adjust the display of energy supplement points. The voice interaction method enables the user to control the map client by voice to show or conceal energy supplement points, satisfying the user's energy supplement demand and keeps the user from being distracted by operations which may affect driving safety.
