Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional feedback loop circuits face challenges in seamlessly outputting signals while shortening loop delay due to dynamic switching based on adaptive processing effectiveness, leading to inconsistent signal delivery.

Innovation Solution

A signal processing device and method that include a first correction processing section, an adaptive processing section, and a second correction processing section within a feedback loop, where the first correction is reversed by the second correction based on adaptive processing delay, allowing seamless signal output by adjusting the loop delay according to the adaptation state without needing to determine the adaptive processing state.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If the route is switched based on adaptive processing effectiveness determination, then the loop delay can be shortened, but the signal output becomes discontinuous and non-seamless

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveloop delayVSAvoidsignal output continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the delay amount adjustable based on the adaptation state. The delay processing section dynamically changes the delay amount according to whether adaptive processing is effective, allowing the system to adapt between different delay states without abrupt switching, thus maintaining signal continuity while optimizing loop delay.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a delay processing section as an intermediary between the adaptive processing section and the second correction processing section. This intermediary component buffers and smooths the transition when switching between different processing routes, ensuring that signal output remains seamless during the transition from adaptive processing to bypass mode.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If adaptive processing is always applied, then signal processing accuracy is improved, but the loop delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal processing accuracyVSAvoidloop delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the processing path based on the effectiveness of adaptive processing. When adaptive processing is determined to be ineffective, the system switches to a bypass path that excludes the adaptive processing section, thereby reducing loop delay while maintaining acceptable signal processing accuracy. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to optimize between accuracy and speed based on real-time conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of delay amount based on the adaptation state. By adjusting the delay amount in the delay processing section according to whether adaptive processing is effective, the system can modify the loop delay parameter to match the current processing requirements, achieving shorter delays when high accuracy is not critical.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If the loop delay is dynamically switched, then the loop delay can be optimized, but seamless signal output cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveloop delay optimizationVSAvoidsignal output seamlessness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The delay processing section serves as a mediator that smooths out the transitions when dynamically switching loop delay. By introducing this intermediary component that can adjust delay amounts continuously or in controlled steps, the system maintains signal continuity and seamlessness during delay optimization, preventing abrupt discontinuities that would occur with direct switching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from the adaptive processing effectiveness determination to control the delay amount in the delay processing section. This feedback mechanism ensures that changes in loop delay are coordinated with the actual processing state, maintaining signal seamlessness by adjusting delay based on real-time adaptation effectiveness rather than arbitrary switching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
