ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF RESTORING DEVICE STATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17965139 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF RESTORING DEVICE STATE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device that can revert a target device to its original state based on a user's command. Here are the key points:

  • The electronic device includes a memory and a processor.
  • The processor executes instructions stored in the memory.
  • When a user gives a command for a target device, the processor performs a series of operations.
  • The first operation is to obtain state information for the original state of the target device.
  • The processor then generates reverse voice metadata for the target device.
  • This metadata helps the target device revert to its original state from the post-utterance state, which is the state changed by the user's command.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Smart home systems: Users can easily revert their smart devices to their original settings by giving voice commands.
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices: Users can reset IoT devices to their default configurations using voice commands.
  • Virtual assistants: Virtual assistants can use this technology to help users undo changes made to devices or settings.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the process of reverting devices to their original states.
  • Reduces the need for manual intervention or complex steps to reset devices.
  • Provides a convenient and user-friendly way to undo changes made to devices.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Saves time and effort for users by automating the process of reverting devices.
  • Enhances user experience by providing a seamless way to undo changes.
  • Improves the usability of electronic devices by offering a voice-controlled reset feature.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to an embodiment, an electronic device, comprising: a memory configured to store instructions; and a processor electrically connected to the memory and configured to execute the instructions, wherein, when the instructions are executed by the processor, the processor performs a plurality of operations, the plurality of operations comprising: when a first utterance from a user is a command for a target device, obtaining state information for an original state of the target device; and generating reverse voice metadata for the target device to revert to the original state from a post-utterance state of the target device based on the state information on the original state, wherein the original state is a state of the target device before being changed by the first utterance, and the post-utterance state is a state of the target device changed by the first utterance.
