Voice Search Discriminator Extraction for Result Differentiation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional voice-based interaction systems, such as smart speakers, often overwhelm users with excessive information during search operations, making it difficult for them to distinguish between multiple search results or confirm a specific response, leading to frustration and confusion.
Innovation Solution
The system generates responses that include discriminators related to search results, such as location or personal features, to provide a more intuitive and focused set of information, allowing users to easily differentiate between options and confirm their selection, while omitting extraneous details.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the system reads off all search engine results to respond to a user request, then the response is comprehensive and complete, but the user is overwhelmed with extraneous details and cannot easily distinguish or confirm the desired option
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and presents only the most relevant discriminator features from complete search results. Instead of reading all search engine results, the system identifies and presents key distinguishing characteristics (such as location, time, or other relevant attributes) that enable users to quickly identify and confirm their desired option without being overwhelmed by extraneous details.
2Loss of information
If the system presents detailed search results in audible format, then the user receives comprehensive information, but the interaction becomes time-consuming and frustrating
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential discriminator features needed for user decision-making from complete search results. By presenting only these key distinguishing characteristics in an audible format, the system provides sufficient information for users to make informed selections while dramatically reducing the time required to process and act on the information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies partial action by presenting only the necessary portion of search results (discriminator features) rather than all available information. This selective presentation provides just enough information for effective user decision-making while avoiding the time cost of processing excessive details.
3Reliability
If the system provides all search result details, then the response is thorough and accurate, but the user experiences confusion and difficulty in making a selection
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and presents only the most relevant discriminator features from accurate and complete search results. This selective presentation maintains the reliability and accuracy of the underlying search data while presenting only the essential distinguishing characteristics that enable users to easily differentiate between options and make informed selections without confusion.

AI summary
Technologies described herein improve voice-based interaction technology and provide improved user experiences for computer-performed searching within voice-based applications. After receiving a voice command that involves performing a search operation in order to respond to the command, a more intuitive response may be generated and presented to the user. In particular, certain features or properties related to the search results are determined and utilized as discriminators. A discriminator may be provided in the response to the user to enable the user to distinguish between multiple search results, or to more readily confirm a particular result, provided by the computing system. In some instances, certain details of the search results may be omitted when generating the response. In this way, the computing system may present the user with a limited but more focused set of information that is more useful for making a decision and/or continuing the interaction with the computing system.
