Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices require multiple steps for generating and displaying text information from user voice, including executing an application, inputting a trigger, uttering voice, and designating display position and size, which is inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device that intuitively and simply provides text information corresponding to user voice by identifying objects in an image and correlating them with user voice input, using object and voice recognition, and displaying the text information on the desired area based on user interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a touch screen displays detailed map information at a first magnification level, then the map information is clear and detailed, but the battery consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemap information detailVSAvoidbattery consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the magnification level of the map display based on the detected operation state of the electronic device. When the device is in a power-saving mode or low battery state, the system automatically reduces magnification to conserve energy while maintaining usability. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by making the display detail flexible rather than fixed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the display parameter (magnification level) based on the operation state. By detecting battery level, power mode, or usage patterns, the system adjusts the magnification parameter to an appropriate level that balances detail visibility with energy consumption requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If a touch screen displays detailed map information at a first magnification level, then the map information is clear and detailed, but the size of the touch screen required increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemap information detailVSAvoidtouch screen area
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts magnification level based on detected finger size or user characteristics. By identifying whether the user has large or small fingers through touch patterns, the system adapts the display magnification to ensure that map details are visible and interactable within the existing screen boundaries, eliminating the need for a larger physical display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If operation information is displayed in pop-up windows, then the information is easily accessible, but the aesthetic appearance deteriorates due to frequent popping

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidaesthetic appearance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts the operation information from traditional pop-up windows and integrates it into the main display area through status bars, headers, or inline indicators. This extraction maintains information accessibility while eliminating the visual disruption and aesthetic degradation caused by frequent pop-up appearances.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system merges the operation information display with the existing user interface elements rather than using separate pop-up windows. By combining the information presentation with the main interface, the system maintains ease of access while preserving aesthetic continuity and avoiding the jarring effect of frequent pop-ups.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Ease of operation

If the magnification level is adjusted based on finger size, then the operability improves for different users, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveoperabilityVSAvoiddetection mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-calibration by automatically detecting finger size characteristics during normal touch operations and adjusting magnification levels without requiring manual user input or complex external sensors. The device uses its existing touch screen controller to analyze touch patterns and infer finger size, thereby improving operability while avoiding additional hardware complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
