INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240212686 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM

The abstract describes a patent application for an information processing apparatus with a control unit that can understand and execute user requests through speech.

  • The control unit can identify specific devices and functions needed to fulfill the user's request based on their speech.
  • It can then instruct the devices to carry out the necessary functions to meet the user's needs.

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in smart home systems, virtual assistants, and other voice-controlled devices to enhance user interaction and convenience.

Problems Solved: This innovation streamlines the process of interpreting and acting on user requests, making it easier and more efficient for users to communicate with their devices.

Benefits: Users can simply speak their requests, and the system will automatically determine the appropriate devices and functions to fulfill those requests, improving user experience and efficiency.

Commercial Applications: This technology could be valuable for companies developing smart home devices, virtual assistants, and other voice-controlled technologies, enhancing their products' usability and appeal in the market.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the control unit determine which devices and functions to use based on the user's speech? 2. What are the potential limitations of this technology in terms of understanding complex or ambiguous user requests?
