Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional audio detection methods are used to distinguish voice signals from non-voice signals, then the implementation is simpler, but the detection accuracy is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidimplementation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the audio signal classification task into multiple stages: first classifying audio signals into broad categories (voice/non-voice), then further subdividing into specific types (speaking, singing, laughing, etc.). This hierarchical segmentation approach improves detection accuracy by allowing specialized processing for each category while keeping the overall system manageable in complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediate classification layers between the initial voice/non-voice detection and the final specific signal type identification. These intermediate categories act as mediators that guide the classification process, improving accuracy by breaking down the complex classification task into manageable steps with clear decision boundaries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If fine classification of signal types is performed to improve detection accuracy, then the detection precision is improved, but the computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification precisionVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the classification process into multiple hierarchical levels, where each level handles a specific aspect of signal classification. This allows the system to achieve fine classification precision without requiring all computational resources to be dedicated to a single complex classification task, thereby managing computational complexity more effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies classification processing at different levels of detail appropriate to each signal category. Not all audio signals require the same level of fine classification - the system applies partial classification where sufficient and more detailed classification where needed, optimizing the balance between precision and computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
