ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND UTTERANCE PROCESSING METHOD OF THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18081210 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND UTTERANCE PROCESSING METHOD OF THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that can recognize and process spoken commands. Here are the key points:

  • The device has a microphone to receive audio signals containing spoken commands.
  • It has a processor and memory to store and execute instructions.
  • The processor can recognize the spoken command and generate a result.
  • It determines if the command is supported by the device based on the recognition result.
  • It also determines if the command should be processed by the device based on support.
  • If the command is to be processed, the device will execute the corresponding command.

Potential Applications

This technology can have various applications, including:

  • Voice-controlled smart home devices: Users can control lights, thermostats, and other smart devices using voice commands.
  • Virtual assistants: Devices like smartphones or smart speakers can respond to voice commands to perform tasks like setting reminders, sending messages, or playing music.
  • Automotive systems: Voice commands can be used to control in-car entertainment, navigation, or climate control systems.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses several problems:

  • Convenience: Users can control devices or perform tasks without needing to physically interact with them, providing a more convenient and hands-free experience.
  • Accessibility: Voice commands make it easier for individuals with disabilities or limited mobility to interact with electronic devices.
  • Efficiency: Processing spoken commands can be faster than manually navigating through menus or using physical controls.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved user experience: Voice commands offer a more natural and intuitive way to interact with electronic devices.
  • Increased productivity: Users can perform tasks quickly and efficiently by simply speaking commands.
  • Enhanced accessibility: Voice control enables individuals with disabilities to independently use and control electronic devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes: a microphone configured to receive an audio signal including an utterance, a processor, and a memory configured to store instructions to be executed by the processor, wherein the processor may be configured to: generate a result of recognizing the utterance, determine whether the utterance is supported by the electronic device based on the result of recognizing the utterance, determine whether the utterance is to be processed by the electronic device based on whether the utterance is supported by the electronic device, and process a command corresponding to the utterance based on whether the utterance is to be processed by the electronic device.
