Voice Interaction State Presentation via Dynamic Visual Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current voice interaction technologies fail to effectively present the state of a voice interaction device to users, leading to poor user experience due to lack of clear usage recommendations and prompts, especially in full duplex interactive states.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that acquire the current state of a voice interaction device, determine a corresponding presentation mode from a pre-stored correspondence relation, and present the state through voice, sound effects, static, or dynamic images, providing necessary usage recommendations and prompts based on the state, such as introducing full duplex interactive functions or indicating remaining interaction time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a voice interaction device operates in full duplex interactive state without state presentation, then the device can maintain continuous interaction capability, but the user cannot understand the current state or how to use the function properly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses visual color changes and dynamic image effects to indicate different interaction states. For example, the display shows different colors or visual patterns when the device is in half-duplex versus full-duplex mode, allowing users to intuitively understand the current state without verbal prompts.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary presentation module that translates internal device states into user-comprehensible forms through multiple channels (voice announcements, sound effects, visual displays). This intermediary layer bridges the gap between the device's operational state and user understanding.
2Ease of operation
If the device provides comprehensive state presentation and usage recommendations, then user experience improves, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the state presentation system into distinct modular components: voice presentation module, sound effect module, and visual display module. Each module handles specific aspects of state indication, making the overall system easier to manage and implement despite the comprehensive functionality provided.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal state presentation framework that can indicate multiple different states (half-duplex, full-duplex, various interaction phases) using a unified set of presentation tools and methods, reducing the need for separate specialized systems for each state.
3Loss of information
If the device uses multiple presentation modes (voice, sound effect, images) to indicate state, then user understanding is enhanced, but the energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs periodic or conditional activation of presentation modes rather than continuous operation. For example, state announcements are triggered at specific transition moments or when users request information, rather than continuously consuming energy to maintain state indication.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by selectively activating only the necessary presentation modes based on current context and user needs, rather than always using all available presentation channels, thereby reducing unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining adequate information delivery.

AI summary
A method and apparatus for presenting a state of a voice interaction device are provided. The method includes: acquiring a current state of the voice interaction device; determining a current presentation mode corresponding to the current state, by searching a pre-stored correspondence relation between a state and a presentation mode according to the current state; and presenting the current state of the voice interaction device in the determined current presentation mode. In embodiments, a current state of a voice interaction device is presented to a user, and necessary usage recommendations and prompts are provided to a user, thereby improving user experience.
