Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If fixed preprocessing parameters are used for voice signals, then the voice recognition model shows superior performance when the voice signal matches the assumed use environment, but the voice recognition model shows inferior performance when the voice signal does not match the assumed use environment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoice recognition performanceVSAvoidadaptability to different environments
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic preprocessing parameters that automatically adjust based on the characteristics of incoming voice signals. The system calculates signal-to-noise ratio and other acoustic features in real-time, then adapts preprocessing parameters such as noise reduction strength and gain adjustment to match the current environment, resolving the contradiction between fixed parameters and environmental adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes preprocessing parameters based on the distribution of voice signal characteristics. By analyzing accumulated voice signal data and detecting changes in statistical distributions (mean, variance, etc.), the system dynamically adjusts parameters like normalization factors and filtering characteristics to optimize recognition performance across different environments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If preprocessing parameters are adjusted to adapt to different environments, then voice recognition performance improves in varying environments, but the system complexity increases due to parameter distribution analysis and accumulation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenvironmental adaptabilityVSAvoidparameter analysis and accumulation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-adaptation by automatically analyzing its own performance and the characteristics of incoming signals. It accumulates voice signal characteristics locally, detects distribution changes, and adjusts parameters without external intervention, reducing the need for complex external control systems while maintaining high adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where recognition results and signal characteristics are continuously monitored. Based on this feedback, the system adjusts preprocessing parameters to optimize performance, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts automatically without requiring complex external management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
