Solution Overview

Problem

Smart voice devices currently provide the same information to different users for the same request, lacking personalization based on user characteristics such as age or identity, which affects user experience and relevance of the information pushed.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that determine whether a service recipient matches a specific information service mode by analyzing voice requests, using age estimation or voiceprint recognition to select and push targeted information, clustering candidate information by age range, and playing relevant voice content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the same information is pushed to different users for the same request, then the device complexity is reduced and operation is simplified, but the user experience and information relevance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation simplicityVSAvoidinformation personalization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by tailoring information push content to different user groups based on their characteristics. The system divides users into different groups (e.g., by age, identity) and provides customized information to each group, making the information service adaptive to local user needs rather than applying a uniform approach to all users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the information push service adaptable and changeable based on user characteristics. The system dynamically adjusts the information content pushed to different users based on their age, identity, and other attributes, allowing the service to evolve and adapt to different user scenarios rather than remaining static.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If voiceprint recognition and age estimation are used to determine service recipient identity, then information personalization is improved, but device complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation personalizationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing user profiles and information service modes before actual information pushing occurs. The system performs voiceprint recognition and age estimation in advance to categorize users into different groups, and pre-prepares customized information content for each group, so that when information needs to be pushed, the system can quickly retrieve and deliver the appropriate content without complex real-time processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If candidate information is clustered by age range to select target push information, then information relevance is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation matching accuracyVSAvoidinformation processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-clustering candidate information into different groups based on age ranges and user characteristics before the information pushing process. This allows the system to quickly retrieve and select appropriate information from pre-organized clusters rather than processing and filtering all candidate information in real-time, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining high matching accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Embodiments of a method and apparatus for pushing information are provided. The method can include: determining whether a current service recipient matches a current information service mode, in response to receiving a request for information acquisition; performing an information push operation as follows in response to determining that the current service recipient matches the current information service mode: acquiring candidate push information corresponding to the request for information acquisition; determining target push information corresponding to the current service recipient from the candidate push information; and pushing the target push information to the current service recipient. Some embodiments implement pushing information to a service recipient based on an information service mode matched with the service recipient, which can improve the user experience.
