Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display apparatus voice assistants lack effective mechanisms for intuitively informing users about language updates and functional changes, leading to suboptimal user experience due to unnoticed language switches and unperceived functional enhancements.

Innovation Solution

Implement a display apparatus with a processor to manage an iteration array for tracking voice service function changes, displaying a function link entry in a distinct format when updates occur, and adding identifiers to highlight changes, thereby providing prompt pages for language and function updates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the voice assistant updates the language list through cloud configuration, then the language update function is realized, but the user cannot intuitively perceive when the language list is updated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelanguage update capabilityVSAvoiduser awareness of language update
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses visual indicators (such as color changes or icon displays) on the user interface to show when the language list has been updated. This allows users to intuitively perceive language updates without needing to manually check or enter voice menu settings, resolving the contradiction between maintaining language update capability and ensuring user awareness of updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If the language list is obtained from the cloud, then the language list can be updated, but when the network is not good, there will be a failure to obtain the language list

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelanguage list updateVSAvoidlanguage list acquisition
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a local caching mechanism that stores the language list locally in the display apparatus. When the cloud language list is successfully obtained, it is saved locally for future use. This ensures that even when network conditions are poor or unavailable, the language list can still be accessed from local storage, thereby maintaining reliability while preserving the ability to update languages when network conditions allow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

3Loss of information

If the voice menu is used to display language updates, then the update information can be shown, but the user generally does not view the voice menu frequently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelanguage update informationVSAvoiduser access to update information
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the information display by creating a dedicated update notification area or popup on the user interface, separate from the main voice menu. This allows language update information to be displayed prominently and accessibly without requiring users to navigate to the voice menu, making the update information visible and accessible while maintaining the existing menu structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A display apparatus and a method for a voice service, and the method incudes: obtaining an iteration array, based on that the iteration array is in a non-empty state, controlling a display to display a function link entry for the voice service in a preset format; determining a target change menu control according to function change information in the iteration array; adding a preset identifier at a preset position of the target change menu control, and controlling the display to display a menu page in the preset format according to the preset identifier.
