Solution Overview

Problem

Existing audio processing systems face issues with inconsistent playback effects due to varying preset algorithms used by different electronic devices, leading to poor audio data processing when multiple audio types are played simultaneously.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for processing audio data that involves receiving audio data from a second electronic device via Bluetooth, mixing audio data of different types using adjustment parameters specific to each type, and playing the mixed audio data to ensure consistent playback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If different preset algorithms are used by different electronic devices for audio processing, then each device can process audio according to its own algorithm, but the playback effects become inconsistent and poor when multiple audio types are played simultaneously

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudio processing adaptabilityVSAvoidplayback effect consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a mixing apparatus as an intermediary component between the audio source device and the playback device. This mixing apparatus receives audio data from different sources, applies unified processing algorithms, and outputs consistent mixed audio signals. By placing the mixing function in a dedicated apparatus rather than relying on each device's own preset algorithms, the system achieves consistent playback effects across different audio types while maintaining the ability to handle multiple audio sources simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If audio data from multiple different sources is processed by each device's own preset algorithm, then each audio source can be processed independently, but the overall audio processing effect deteriorates due to algorithm variations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependent audio processingVSAvoidaudio processing precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the audio processing functions into a single mixing apparatus that handles all audio data from different sources. Instead of each device processing audio independently according to its own algorithm, the mixing apparatus consolidates all audio streams and applies a unified processing algorithm. This combining approach maintains the ability to process multiple audio sources while ensuring consistent and precise processing results through standardized algorithms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
