Voice-Controlled Setting Updates Without Screen Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems lack the ability to provide detailed voice-based instructions for changing settings, as they primarily focus on major voice commands and do not efficiently accommodate the various configuration options and screen layouts for setting items.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that includes a microphone, a display device, and controllers to enable speech-based instructions for changing setting values, allowing users to modify settings without displaying the initial screen, by transitioning to a destination screen and acquiring text data from speech input to update settings accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the system displays the first screen showing setting items with set values, then the user can see and interact with the settings interface, but the user cannot provide speech-based instructions to change setting values without first navigating to the screen
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by displaying the second screen (main menu) that contains selection objects for transitioning to the first screen (setting screen). This allows the speech recognition system to be activated and receive instructions before the user actually needs to view or modify settings, preparing the system in advance to handle speech commands for setting changes without requiring navigation through multiple screens.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism by using the second screen as a bridge. The second screen displays selection objects that serve as intermediaries between the main menu and the detailed setting screen. When the user provides speech input on the second screen, the system uses these selection objects to mediate and trigger the appropriate setting changes without requiring the user to physically navigate to the first screen, thus simplifying the interaction flow.
2Productivity
If the system requires users to navigate to the setting screen to change values, then the interface structure is maintained, but the operability and efficiency are reduced due to additional navigation steps
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the essential function of setting value changes from the first screen and makes it available on the second screen. By taking out the speech recognition capability and setting modification function from the detailed setting screen and implementing it on the main menu screen, the system eliminates the need for users to navigate through screens to access setting changes, thus saving time and improving productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs partial action by implementing speech-based setting modification capability on the second screen without requiring full navigation to the first screen. Instead of requiring complete screen transitions, the system allows users to perform setting changes with partial navigation (staying on or returning to the second screen), which reduces the time loss associated with full screen navigation while still achieving the desired setting modifications.
3Ease of operation
If the system supports speech input on the second screen, then users can change settings without displaying the first screen, but the system must process and interpret speech data across different screen contexts
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies universality by making the speech recognition system multi-functional. The same speech recognition mechanism is used across different screens (both the second screen and the first screen) to handle different types of commands. This universal speech processing approach allows the system to interpret speech input in various contexts without requiring separate specialized systems for each screen, thereby managing complexity while enhancing ease of operation.

AI summary
An information processing system includes a microphone configured to acquire sound, a display device configured to display information, and at least one controller. The at least one controller is configured to cause the display device to display a first screen at least including one setting item with a set value that can be changed by an instruction, cause the display device to display a second screen including a selection object for transition to the first screen, and acquire text data based on speech acquired through the microphone during display of the second screen and change the set value of the one setting item on the basis of the text data without causing the display device to display the first screen.
