Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for setting up audio channels between wirelessly connected electronic devices are inflexible, making it difficult to adjust settings when devices are moved or disconnected.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that configures audio channel information for electronic devices and external devices, determines changes in device positions or connections, and reconfigures or updates the audio channel settings accordingly, designating a master device to control audio channel settings and volume control for slave devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional audio channel setup method is used, then initial audio channel establishment is simple, but the audio channel settings cannot be adjusted when devices are moved or disconnected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic audio channel configuration by continuously monitoring device positions and connection states, and automatically adjusting audio channel settings in real-time. The system transitions from a static initial setup to a dynamic adaptive system that responds to environmental changes, allowing audio channels to be reconfigured when devices are moved or disconnected without requiring manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback mechanisms by continuously detecting device positions through sensors and monitoring connection states between devices. Based on this feedback information, the system automatically determines when reconfiguration is needed and adjusts audio channel settings accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to changing conditions while maintaining optimal audio performance.
2Adaptability or versatility
If audio channel settings are fixed after initial setup, then system stability is maintained, but the system cannot adapt to device movement or connection changes
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts audio channel configurations based on real-time detection of device positions and connection states. When devices are moved or disconnected, the system automatically reconfigures audio channels to maintain optimal playback quality, ensuring both adaptability to changes and reliability of audio output through continuous optimization.
Solution Approach 2:
Through continuous monitoring of device positions and connection states, the system receives feedback about environmental changes and automatically adjusts audio channel settings in response. This feedback-driven approach ensures that audio playback quality is maintained reliably even as the physical arrangement of devices changes, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and reliability.
3Reliability
If manual reconfiguration is required for each device change, then audio quality can be optimized, but user operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting device positions and connection changes, then autonomously reconfiguring audio channel settings without requiring user intervention. This eliminates the need for manual optimization while maintaining high audio quality, significantly improving ease of operation while preserving reliable audio performance through automated intelligent adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from position sensors and connection monitors to automatically determine when reconfiguration is needed and executes the optimization process autonomously. This feedback-driven automated optimization maintains high audio quality while eliminating complex manual operations, resolving the contradiction between reliability and ease of operation.
