Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices lack diverse services for voice data processing, failing to meet user requirements for cross-segment selection and merging of speech texts.

Innovation Solution

A voice processing method that enables cross-segment selection and merging of speech texts by using long-press operations and function controls to concatenate and merge speech information, allowing simultaneous selection and processing of multiple pieces of speech information or information across different lines.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If speech information is displayed in structured format with speaker labels and timestamps, then speech content can be visually accessed, but cross-segment selection of speech information cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveselection capabilityVSAvoidspeech information structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The speech information is segmented into multiple independent pieces, each representing a distinct speech segment with its own speaker label and timestamp. This segmentation enables selective manipulation of individual segments while maintaining the overall structured format for visual access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension of interaction by allowing selection across different segments and lines of speech information. This transforms the traditional single-line selection limitation into a multi-dimensional selection capability that operates across the entire speech transcript structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If basic transcription service is provided, then voice data can be converted to text, but diverse services for voice data processing cannot be offered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice diversityVSAvoidprocessing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The speech information processing system is designed with multi-functionality, enabling a single structured format to support multiple operations including cross-segment selection, merging, copying, and deletion. This universal approach allows diverse services to be offered without proportionally increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer of structured speech information that sits between the raw voice data and various processing services. This intermediary structure enables diverse services to be applied uniformly without requiring complex individual processing paths for each service type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If individual speech segments are processed separately, then precise control is achieved, but efficient batch processing of multiple segments cannot be performed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebatch processing efficiencyVSAvoidselection flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables merging of multiple speech segments through selective operations. Users can select multiple discrete segments and combine them into a unified output, achieving efficient batch processing while maintaining the flexibility to choose which segments to process together.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

When an electronic device receives a long-press operation after transcribing a voice file into a text, it indicates that a user may intend to select speech content located in different segments simultaneously. The electronic device may concatenate all displayed speech information to obtain a concatenated character string. Next, the electronic device determines a target character range based on a start position and an end position corresponding to the long-press operation in combination with the concatenated character string. The target character range represents selected characters corresponding to the long-press operation in the concatenated character string. Next, the electronic device displays the concatenated character string in plain text format, and sets a selection state for characters in the target character range to achieve the cross-segment selection of speech information.
