Solution Overview

Problem

Current audio file playing control processes lack the representation of style properties, as they do not utilize the playing color effectively, resulting in a lack of personality and uniqueness in the player interface, reducing the intelligence of the control processing.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that determine a personalized playing color for an audio file by performing color analysis on its album image, allowing the playing color to represent the style property of the audio file, thereby enhancing the intelligence of the playing control processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed color is used for the player interface, then the interface is simple and consistent, but the playing color of each audio file lacks personality and uniqueness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplaying color representationVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs color analysis on the album image in advance to determine the playing color before the audio file is played. This preliminary action extracts color information from the album image and stores it for later use in rendering the player interface, allowing the interface to adapt to different audio files without real-time processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system copies color information from the album image to the player interface. By extracting colors from the album image and applying them to the interface elements, the system transfers the stylistic properties from the image domain to the interface domain, giving each audio file a personalized appearance based on its album art.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Loss of information

If no attention is paid to playing color, then the processing is simple, but the style property of each audio file cannot be effectively represented

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestyle property representationVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The album image serves as an intermediary that bridges the audio file and the player interface. By extracting color information from the album image, the system uses this intermediate representation to convey the stylistic properties of the audio file to the interface, avoiding direct complex analysis of the audio content itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the color of player interface elements based on the extracted playing color from the album image. By dynamically adjusting the interface colors to match the album image's color scheme, the system effectively represents the style property of each audio file through visual color variations in the player interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If personalized playing colors are determined for each audio file, then the style property is effectively represented, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized color representationVSAvoidintelligence of processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically extracting color information from the album image and applying it to the player interface without requiring manual intervention. The color analysis and application process is fully automated, allowing the system to adapt to different audio files independently, thereby enhancing the intelligence of the playing control processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
