Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional voice recognition systems face difficulties in real-time correction of voice recognition results, leading to discrepancies and reduced legibility due to semantic and time-series factors, requiring manual intervention by editors.

Innovation Solution

A correction system comprising an interface, calculator, and display controller that estimates parts of the voice recognition result to be corrected, calculates the degree of association between correction information and the result, and generates corrected display information using appropriate formats, allowing for real-time correction and improved legibility.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual correction is performed by editors following conventional steps, then correction accuracy can be improved, but correction time and operational complexity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecorrection accuracyVSAvoidcorrection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service correction by automatically analyzing voice recognition results, estimating correction needs, and generating corrected text without requiring manual editor intervention for each correction step

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of the voice recognition result to estimate parts that need correction before the actual correction process, preparing correction information in advance to streamline the subsequent correction operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If multiple correction steps are required for real-time caption correction, then correction precision can be maintained, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecorrection precisionVSAvoidcorrection process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple correction steps into a single integrated process by combining result analysis, correction estimation, and correction information generation into one automated workflow, reducing the number of separate operations required

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary analysis component that automatically processes the voice recognition result and generates correction information, acting as a mediator between the raw recognition output and the final corrected text

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If conventional correction methods are used, then correction completeness can be achieved, but legibility and viewer understanding deteriorate due to semantic discrepancies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecorrection completenessVSAvoidsemantic understanding
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that analyze the semantic relationship between the original voice recognition result and the corrected text, ensuring that corrections maintain or improve viewer understanding rather than creating new discrepancies

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A correction system of the embodiment includes an interface system, a calculator, a generator, and a display controller. The interface system receives correction information for correcting a voice recognition result. The calculator estimates a part of the voice recognition result to be corrected and calculates a degree of association between the part to be corrected and the correction information. The generator generates corrected display information comprising at least one of the correction information and the part to be corrected using a display format corresponding to the degree of association. The display controller outputs the corrected display information on a display.
