Innovation Solution

A user-customized AI speaker-based personalized service system utilizing voiceprint recognition, which includes a voice recognition device with a storage unit for user speech samples, a receiver for utterance processing, and a determination unit for verifying registered users through comparison of voice patterns, enabling execution of user-specific instructions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple AI assistants are integrated on one platform, then user verification and personalized service delivery become challenging, but the system can serve multiple users more efficiently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice delivery efficiencyVSAvoiduser verification complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual user verification methods with voiceprint recognition technology. The system captures voice signals, extracts acoustic features, and performs automated speaker verification to identify users, eliminating the need for manual verification processes and enabling efficient multi-user service delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables users to verify themselves automatically through their voice patterns without requiring external authentication. The voiceprint recognition system independently identifies and authenticates users based on their unique vocal characteristics, allowing self-service verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If voiceprint recognition is implemented for user verification, then personalized service delivery is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized service capabilityVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the voiceprint recognition system into distinct functional modules: voice signal acquisition, feature extraction, speaker verification, and service delivery. This modular architecture manages system complexity by organizing functions into separate, manageable components that can operate independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary layer between voice input and service delivery - the voiceprint recognition module. This intermediary processes and verifies user identity before triggering personalized services, acting as a mediator that enables adaptability while managing system complexity through standardized interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple AI assistants modules are installed in one AI speaker, then platform integration is achieved, but user identification accuracy may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform integration capabilityVSAvoiduser identification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by dedicating specific voiceprint recognition capabilities to each user within the integrated platform. Each user's voice patterns are stored and verified independently, ensuring that the presence of multiple AI assistants does not compromise the accuracy of individual user identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by storing multiple voiceprint templates in the database, one for each registered user. The verification process compares the input voice against the specific user's stored template, adjusting the identification process to maintain high accuracy despite multiple users and assistants sharing the platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Disclosed is a user-customized artificial intelligence (AI) speaker-based personalized service system using voiceprint recognition. The system is used by a small group of users. The system includes a voice recognition device that identifies each user through voice recognition and enables a voice instruction of each user to be executed, and a data processing device interconnected with the voice recognition device. The voice recognition device includes a storage unit that stores speech samples of respective registered users, a receiver that receives a first utterance of a first utterer, a determination unit that determines whether the first utterer is a registered user by comparing the first utterance of the first utterer against the speech samples of the respective registered users stored in the storage unit, and an execution that generates an instruction signal corresponding to a first instruction phrase uttered as a first voice instruction by the first utterer.
