Voice Message Conversion in Electronic Apparatus
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic devices lack efficient methods for voice/message conversion and control processing in communication systems, particularly in scenarios where the other-party user may have difficulty speaking freely or catching voice outputs, leading to suboptimal user experience.
Innovation Solution
The electronic apparatus incorporates a processor that acquires information about the other-party device and executes control processing to convert voice inputs into messages or modify communication modes based on this information, allowing for voice/message converted communication or controlling the execution of message communication applications without transmitting voice inputs, and provides user notifications for selection options.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If voice-to-message conversion is implemented, then communication effectiveness in noisy environments is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary to perform the voice-to-message conversion processing. The electronic device transmits voice data to the server, which then converts it to text and returns the result. This mediator approach allows the complex AI processing to occur externally, improving communication effectiveness while minimizing the complexity burden on the client device.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical voice communication (speaking and listening) with an automated text-based system. By substituting the mechanical act of speaking with automated voice recognition and text generation, the system improves reliability in environments where voice transmission is problematic, while the complexity is managed through external processing.
2Ease of operation
If automatic control processing is implemented, then user convenience is improved, but loss of information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system presents multiple possible interpretations of the user's voice input along with confidence scores. The user can review these options and select the correct one, ensuring that the final transmitted message accurately reflects user intent. This feedback loop prevents information loss while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of making a single automatic decision, the system performs partial actions by generating multiple possible interpretations of the voice input. It presents these partial results to the user for confirmation, ensuring that the complete user intent is captured without requiring full manual input. This approach balances automation with accuracy.
Data Source
AI summary
An electronic apparatus and a processing system are disclosed. In one embodiment, an electronic apparatus comprises a communication unit and at least one processor. The communication unit is configured to acquire information related to an other-party apparatus. The at least one processor is configured to receive input of a voice signal output from a first voice input unit. The electronic apparatus and the other-party apparatus are capable of communicating with each other with voice/message converted communication in which first voice input to the first voice input unit is converted into a first message and the first message is displayed on the other-party apparatus. The at least one processor determines execution of the voice/message converted communication, based on the information.
