1Object-affected harmful factors
If manual volume adjustment is used, then noise control can be achieved, but operation complexity increases and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables devices to automatically detect ambient noise levels and adjust their own volume without manual user intervention. The controlling device monitors noise information and autonomously sends volume adjustment instructions to controlled devices, making the noise control process self-service oriented and eliminating the need for cumbersome manual operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the controlling device continuously acquires noise information from the ambient environment, processes this information, and automatically generates volume adjustment instructions. This closed-loop feedback system enables automatic adaptation to changing noise conditions without requiring manual user input, thereby reducing operation complexity while maintaining effective noise control.
2Ease of operation
If automatic noise control is implemented, then user experience improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The noise control system is segmented into distinct functional modules: a controlling device that acquires and processes noise information, and controlled devices that receive and execute volume adjustment instructions. This segmentation distributes system complexity across multiple components, allowing each device to have a simplified individual design while achieving sophisticated automatic noise control functionality through their coordinated interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The controlling device acts as an intermediary between the ambient noise environment and the controlled devices. It acquires noise information, processes this information according to noise control policies, and mediates the transmission of volume adjustment instructions to the controlled devices. This intermediary role centralizes the complex processing logic in one device, keeping the controlled devices relatively simple while still achieving automatic noise control.
