Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual marking method is used to distinguish vocal cut accompaniment, then labor cost is high, but accuracy rate is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy rateVSAvoidefficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual marking method (mechanical human operation) with an automated audio processing system that uses signal processing algorithms to extract features and classify accompaniment types. This substitution dramatically improves both efficiency (automated processing) and accuracy (consistent algorithmic classification)

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables accompaniment data to self-classify through automated feature extraction and classification algorithms, eliminating the need for manual human marking. The audio data itself provides the features needed for classification through signal processing, making the system self-sufficient

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of manufacture

If vocal cut accompaniment is processed through audio technology, then original accompaniment can be obtained, but background noise increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavailability of accompanimentVSAvoidbackground noise
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary classification to identify whether accompaniment data is original or vocal-cut before further processing. By detecting characteristic features of vocal-cut accompaniments (such as spectral patterns and temporal characteristics), the system can identify and filter out noisy processed accompaniments before they affect user experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different processing and evaluation criteria to different types of accompaniment data. Original accompaniments are evaluated with higher purity standards while vocal-cut accompaniments are identified through their distinctive features and handled differently, allowing optimized processing for each type

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If neural network model is trained with more data, then accuracy rate improves, but training time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy rateVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary feature extraction and data preprocessing before model training, organizing audio data into standardized formats with extracted acoustic features. This preliminary preparation reduces the complexity of the training process and enables faster convergence even with large datasets

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts key acoustic features from raw audio data before feeding them to the neural network model. By extracting only the most relevant features (such as spectral characteristics, temporal patterns, and statistical properties), the model trains faster while maintaining high accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
