Voice Providing Device for Virtual Talker Dialogue
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies primarily focus on providing information based on user position without enabling effective communication by voice between virtual talkers and users, lacking interactive dialogue experiences.
Innovation Solution
A voice providing method that utilizes position information from a voice reproducing device to initiate dialogue between a virtual talker and a user, adjusting voice content and sound fields based on the positional relationship, distance, and user attributes, allowing for interactive communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If position-based information distribution is implemented, then information delivery to users is improved, but interactive voice communication capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The voice providing device integrates multiple functions into a single system: it performs position-based information distribution (receiving position information and determining distribution targets) and interactive voice communication (generating and outputting voice data for dialogue) simultaneously. This multi-functional approach resolves the contradiction by making the system capable of both information delivery and interactive communication rather than choosing one over the other.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the information distribution function and the voice communication function into a unified voice providing system. The device combines position information processing with voice data generation and output, creating an integrated system that performs both functions concurrently, thereby eliminating the trade-off between information delivery and interactive communication capability.
2Ease of operation
If virtual talker dialogue is implemented, then user interaction experience is improved, but system complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The voice providing device acts as an intermediary between the position information input and the voice output generation. It receives position information, determines distribution targets based on position relationships, generates appropriate voice data, and outputs the voice. This intermediary structure simplifies the overall system architecture by centralizing the processing logic in a dedicated device, thereby improving user interaction experience without proportionally increasing system complexity.

AI summary
A voice providing method includes obtaining position information from a voice reproducing device, and performing processing, in a case in which a first position of obtained position information and a second position of a virtual talker are in a predetermined relationship, to cause the voice reproducing device to reproduce voice for the virtual talker to have a dialogue with a user with content according to the user.
