Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional speech recognition systems do not provide users with intermediate results during the processing of speech recognition, leading to uncertainty and inefficiency, as users must wait for the completion of the entire sound signal input before receiving results.

Innovation Solution

A speech recognition client and server system that transmits unit sound signals at intervals and generates intermediate results based on partial sound signals, allowing for real-time display of recognition progress, reducing user anxiety and improving accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the system waits for the entire sound signal to be input before generating speech recognition results, then the accuracy of speech recognition is improved, but the user experience deteriorates due to uncertainty and anxiety during the processing time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeech recognition accuracyVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the speech recognition process into segments by generating intermediate results at different time points during sound signal input. The system processes the sound signal in portions and provides multiple intermediate recognition results, allowing users to see progress without compromising the final accuracy which is based on the complete signal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary speech recognition processing on partial sound signals before the complete signal is available. By generating intermediate results in advance during the input process, the system provides early feedback to users while the final accurate result is still being processed from the complete signal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If the system processes the entire sound signal before providing results, then the speech recognition accuracy is improved, but the processing time is increased from the user's perspective

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeech recognition accuracyVSAvoiduser waiting time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the recognition process into multiple stages, providing intermediate results at different time points. This allows the system to maintain high accuracy by processing the complete signal while giving users timely feedback through partial results generated during the input process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by providing intermediate recognition results to users during the sound signal input process. This feedback mechanism reduces perceived waiting time by showing users that processing is occurring, while the final accurate result is derived from the complete signal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If the system provides intermediate results during speech recognition processing, then user anxiety is reduced and user experience is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the sound signal processing into manageable portions that can generate intermediate results. This segmentation approach manages system complexity by processing signals in stages rather than requiring complex real-time full-signal processing while providing intermediate feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Productivity

If the system generates intermediate results based on partial sound signals, then real-time feedback is provided to users, but the amount of processing required increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time feedback capabilityVSAvoidprocessing energy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by generating intermediate results from partial sound signals rather than processing the complete signal continuously. This approach provides real-time feedback capability while optimizing processing energy by only processing the portions of the signal that have been received so far for intermediate results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A voice/speech recognition client system, a voice recognition server system, and a voice recognition method. The voice recognition system indicates a result of voice recognition in a voice signal inputted from a starting time for voice recognition to an ending time. The voice recognition client comprises: a communication unit that transmits a unit voice signal input at intervals from the starting time to the ending time, to the voice recognition server system at the intervals and receives an intermediate result of voice recognition from the voice recognition server system; and a display unit that displays the intermediate result received between the starting time and the ending time.
