XR Device Visual Indicators for Voice Command Targeting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In environments with multiple voice command devices (VCDs), ambiguity arises regarding which device a user is interacting with, leading to unintended command reception by nearby VCDs, necessitating improved management solutions.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of an XR-based VCD management system that receives voice commands, determines the target VCDs, and displays visual indicators on an XR device, allowing users to modify commands by redirecting, cloning, or rescinding them as needed.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If voice commands are used to control multiple VCDs in an environment, then user convenience and automation are improved, but ambiguity arises about which device receives the command, leading to unintended command reception
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides visual feedback by displaying indicators on the XR device that show which VCDs are potential targets for the voice command. This feedback loop allows users to see the recognized VCDs and their confidence levels, enabling them to verify and correct the target selection before command execution, thus resolving the ambiguity while maintaining voice control convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The XR device acts as an intermediary between the user and the multiple VCDs. It receives the voice command, processes it to identify potential target VCDs, and presents this information to the user through visual indicators. This intermediary role allows the system to maintain the convenience of voice control while adding a layer of verification to ensure command accuracy.
2Reliability
If visual indicators are displayed on XR device to show targeted VCDs, then command target accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The XR device performs multiple functions: it serves as the user interface for receiving voice commands, processes the commands to identify target VCDs, and displays visual feedback about the command targets. By consolidating these functions into a single device that the user is already wearing, the system achieves improved command accuracy without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically processes voice commands to identify and display potential target VCDs without requiring manual configuration or complex user setup. The XR device and VCD management system work together to automatically recognize VCDs in the environment, match them to voice commands, and present the information to the user, reducing the operational complexity despite the enhanced functionality.

AI summary
A voice command can be received from a user. One or more voice command devices (VCDs) that the voice command is targeting can be determined. A visual indicator of each of the one or more targeted VCDs can be displayed on an XR device worn by the user, wherein each visual indicator visually indicates a respective targeted VCD the voice command is directed to on the XR device.
