Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Speech disorders and certain bodily conditions can hinder individuals' ability to construct language or submit voice commands that are understandable by AI voice response systems.
Innovation Solution
A method that involves gathering user data from connected devices, training a voice response system based on this data, identifying a wakeup signal, determining user engagement, and engaging with the user through connected devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a standard voice response system is used, then the system can process normal voice commands, but it cannot understand speech from impaired users
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by gathering user data from connected devices and training a customized voice recognition model before actual voice command processing. This pre-training phase allows the system to learn the specific speech patterns, accents, and characteristics of individual users, thereby improving its ability to accurately interpret commands from speech-impaired users when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by adjusting voice recognition thresholds, sensitivity settings, and processing criteria based on the trained user-specific model. By modifying these parameters according to individual user characteristics, the system can accommodate variations in speech patterns caused by impairments while maintaining accurate command interpretation.
2Measurement precision
If the system gathers and processes extensive user data for customization, then accuracy for individual users improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves universality by using a multi-functional architecture where connected devices (microphones, sensors, processors) serve multiple purposes. The same hardware infrastructure that captures voice commands also gathers training data, and the processing system both trains the customized model and executes voice recognition, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service through automated data gathering and model training processes. The voice response system automatically collects user data from connected devices, processes this data through machine learning algorithms, and generates customized recognition models without requiring manual configuration or complex external intervention, thereby simplifying the overall system architecture.
