Electronic Device Displaying Visual Information for Voice Responses
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing voice recognition systems fail to provide adequate visual information associated with voice responses, requiring users to search through history lists or separate displays, limiting the convenience of interacting with multiple devices.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a display, communication interface, and processor that determines if an external device is outputting a voice response and receives user interactions to display visual information, including text, icons, or images, in response to these interactions, using a network or server to facilitate seamless information sharing between devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If voice recognition systems provide only voice responses without visual information, then the system remains simple and uses less bandwidth, but users cannot easily access additional information associated with voice responses
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a display device as an intermediary component that receives voice response information from the voice recognition device and presents additional visual information to users. This mediator approach allows the voice recognition system to remain relatively simple while enabling users to access comprehensive information through the display device, resolving the contradiction between information availability and system complexity.
2Loss of time
If users access additional information through separate displays or history lists, then the voice response system remains simple, but users experience increased time to access information
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-establishing the display device and communication interface before the user needs to access information. When a voice response is generated, the system proactively prepares and transmits related visual information to the display device, so that when users interact with the display, the information is already ready for immediate viewing, eliminating the need for users to search through history lists or navigate to separate displays.
3Loss of information
If the system provides comprehensive visual information for all voice responses, then information completeness is improved, but communication bandwidth and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by selectively transmitting and displaying visual information based on user interaction patterns and voice response characteristics. Rather than providing comprehensive visual information for all voice responses unconditionally, the system transmits visual information only when triggered by specific user interactions (such as tapping or hovering near the display), thereby reducing unnecessary bandwidth consumption while maintaining information completeness when needed.
Data Source
AI summary
An electronic device disclosed in the disclosure includes a display, a communication interface comprising communication circuitry, a processor, and a memory. The memory may be configured to store instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to control the electronic device to: determine whether an external device is outputting a voice response corresponding to an utterance input of a user, receive a specified user interaction, and allow visual information associated with the voice response to be displayed on the display in response to the user interaction.
