Solution Overview

Problem

Existing audio data processing technologies lack the ability for users to selectively audition and add sound effects at desired positions, leading to unsatisfactory user experiences and increased operational complexity.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that allow users to acquire a playback position and audition a sound effect, adding it to a selected audio segment, and then add additional sound effects based on user instructions, with options for smoothing transitions between effects to enhance user satisfaction and simplify operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If audio data is processed without classification by service types, then processing simplicity is maintained, but processing accuracy and user experience deteriorate due to one-size-fits-all noise handling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudio processing accuracyVSAvoidprocessing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments audio data processing into distinct service type categories (voice calls, video calls, online games, music playback, video playback). Each service type receives customized noise processing parameters tailored to its specific characteristics, thereby improving processing accuracy without requiring a complete redesign of the processing system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary classification of audio data according to service types before noise processing. By pre-categorizing the audio data and selecting appropriate processing parameters in advance, the system achieves accurate service-specific processing while maintaining overall system simplicity through automated parameter selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If noise processing is applied uniformly to all audio data, then system complexity is reduced, but noise removal effectiveness deteriorates due to different noise characteristics in different services

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenoise removal effectivenessVSAvoidprocessing parameter complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by configuring different noise processing parameters for different service types. Voice calls use parameters optimized for speech frequencies, while music playback uses parameters suited for musical content. This service-specific parameter configuration significantly improves noise removal effectiveness for each application scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically changes processing parameters based on service type classification. By adjusting noise reduction strength, frequency ranges, and processing algorithms according to the identified service category, the system achieves reliable noise removal across diverse applications without requiring manual parameter tuning for each case.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If service type classification is implemented, then processing precision is improved, but processing time increases due to additional classification steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice-specific processing precisionVSAvoidaudio processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs service type classification as a preliminary action before noise processing. By identifying the service category upfront and selecting corresponding parameters in advance, the system minimizes iterative processing and reduces overall processing time despite the added classification step.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service by automatically classifying audio data and selecting appropriate processing parameters without requiring manual intervention or complex user input. This automation reduces the time overhead of classification while maintaining high processing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
