Solution Overview

Problem

Existing audio guides in public places require manual input of numbers to access predetermined explanation content, which does not change and may not accurately match dynamic presentation content, limiting the ability to provide real-time, relevant information to visitors.

Innovation Solution

An automatic explanation method using an explanation terminal that communicates with a presentation terminal to acquire a terminal identifier, uploads it to a server, and receives matching explanation content for output, allowing for dynamic and relevant content delivery without user intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If audio guides use predetermined explanation content stored locally, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to dynamic presentation content deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudio guide system complexityVSAvoidcontent matching capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component between the audio guide terminal and presentation terminals. The server receives terminal identifiers from audio guides, matches them with corresponding presentation content, and returns appropriate explanation content. This intermediary architecture allows the audio guide system to access dynamic content without increasing local device complexity, resolving the contradiction between simple device structure and high adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If audio guides require manual input of numbers, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudio guide system complexityVSAvoiduser input requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements automatic content acquisition where the audio guide terminal automatically sends terminal identifiers to the server and receives matching explanation content without requiring manual number input from users. The system performs self-service operations including automatic identification, content matching, and content retrieval, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining relatively simple device architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If audio guides use predetermined explanation content, then the productivity is improved, but the loss of information deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent delivery speedVSAvoidcontent relevance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where the server receives terminal identifiers from audio guides, determines the corresponding presentation content, and returns matching explanation content. This closed-loop feedback system ensures that the explanation content delivered is always relevant to the current presentation content being displayed, preventing information loss while maintaining efficient content delivery through automated server-side matching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
