Solution Overview

Problem

Existing acoustic channel-based data communications methods struggle to effectively transmit audio signals in environments with strong background noise, as they are prone to interference and errors.

Innovation Solution

The method employs CRC and BCH coding to create a coded sequence, which is then modulated using a preset audio sequence symbol set and transmitted over a selected frequency band. At the receiving end, cross-correlation is used to eliminate interference and recover the original data signal through symbol inverse mapping and decoding.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If audio signal transmission is performed in natural environment, then communication can be conducted using standard audio devices, but strong interference from environment noises degrades signal quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with standard audio devicesVSAvoidenvironmental noise interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing channel coding (CRC and BCH coding) on the data signal before modulation and transmission. This pre-processing of the signal with error correction codes enables the system to withstand environmental noise interference during transmission, resolving the contradiction between using standard audio devices and maintaining signal quality in noisy environments.

2Reliability

If channel coding is applied to improve error correction, then reliability in noisy environments improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror correction capabilityVSAvoidcoding system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the error correction process into two distinct stages: first CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) coding to detect errors, then BCH (Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem) coding to correct errors. This segmentation of the coding process into modular, sequential steps improves reliability while keeping each individual coding stage relatively simple and manageable.
