Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices with interactive interfaces face inefficiencies in processing voice inputs, often failing to activate corresponding applications due to unrecognized voice commands, leading to incomplete or failed operations.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a microphone and a controller that performs voice recognition and displays a list of applications when processing fails, allowing users to select the appropriate application manually, thereby improving interactive interface processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If voice recognition processing is performed automatically, then processing speed is improved, but reliability deteriorates when voice commands are not recognized accurately

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidvoice recognition accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides feedback to the user when voice recognition fails by displaying the list of applications on the display unit, allowing the user to see what applications are available and select the correct one manually, thus resolving the unreliability of automatic voice recognition

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The display unit acts as an intermediary between the voice recognition system and the application selection process. When voice recognition fails, the display unit mediates by showing the list of applications, enabling the user to bridge the gap between the unrecognized voice command and the intended application

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If automatic application activation based on voice recognition is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but adaptability deteriorates when voice commands do not match any application

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of application activationVSAvoidadaptability to unrecognized voice commands

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides feedback by displaying the list of applications when voice recognition fails, enabling users to adapt to the limitation by manually selecting from the displayed applications, thus maintaining both ease of operation and adaptability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-displaying the list of applications on the display unit when voice recognition fails. This allows users to quickly select the correct application without having to navigate through multiple menus or re-enter commands, thus maintaining ease of operation while adapting to unrecognized voice commands

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
