Time-Based Audio Effect Preconfiguration for Smooth Playback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing audio effect configuration methods for mobile terminals require manual user intervention, leading to inconvenience and potential delays in audio playback fluency.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a mobile terminal automatically determines audio effect parameters based on pre-stored mappings and system time, sending pre-configuration instructions to the audio output device to create instances of audio effects, thereby eliminating the need for manual settings and improving user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual user intervention is used for audio effect configuration, then user control over audio settings is maintained, but convenience and playback fluency are reduced due to potential delays
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary configuration by determining audio effect parameters in advance based on pre-stored mappings and system time before audio playback actually begins. This pre-determination eliminates the need for manual user intervention during playback, thereby improving convenience while avoiding playback delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The audio output device automatically configures audio effects using pre-stored mappings and system time information without requiring manual user intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously determining appropriate audio effect parameters based on the current context, improving both convenience and playback fluency.
2Extent of automation
If manual audio effect configuration is implemented, then precise user control is achieved, but audio playing fluency and user experience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
Audio effect parameters are determined in advance based on pre-stored mappings and system time, creating a ready-to-apply configuration before playback begins. This preliminary action enables high automation while maintaining smooth playback experience without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
Pre-stored mappings serve as an intermediary between system time and audio effect parameters. This mapping mechanism enables automatic configuration by translating time-based context into appropriate audio effects, achieving high automation while preserving user experience through seamless operation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If real-time manual configuration is used, then adaptability to user preferences is maintained, but audio output fluency is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system determines audio effect parameters in advance based on system time and pre-stored mappings before playback begins. This pre-determination maintains adaptability to contextual information while ensuring audio output fluency by eliminating real-time configuration delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically selects audio effect parameters based on system time and contextual information stored in mappings. This dynamic selection process maintains adaptability to different contexts while preserving audio fluency through automated, delay-free parameter application.

AI summary
Disclosed are a sound effect configuration method and system and a related device. The method comprises: determining, when a starting operation on a target application of a mobile terminal is detected, a sound effect setting time period to which the system time belongs, the target application being used for controlling an audio output device; determining a reference sound effect parameter corresponding to the sound effect setting time period to which the system time belongs according to mapping relationships between pre-stored sound effect setting time periods of the audio output device and sound effect parameters; sending a pre-configuration instruction comprising the reference sound effect parameter to the audio output device, the pre-configuration instruction being used for instructing the audio output device to create, according to the reference sound effect parameter, a sound effect instance for an audio stream to be played, and the sound effect instance being used for configuring the sound effect of the audio stream to be played. Embodiments of the present invention can improve convenience and intelligence of sound effect setting and user experience.
