Solution Overview

Problem

Existing bone conduction sound generating lollipops face issues with narrow frequency domain, high distortion, large attenuation at low and high frequencies, and high power consumption, which affect sound quality and make them difficult to use due to increased volume and weight, compromising user experience and privacy.

Innovation Solution

A bone conduction based sound generating lollipop with an integrated sound generating device, a controller, and a trigger, where the controller drives the sound generating component to produce vibration signals upon oral cavity detection, using sensors like pressure, light, temperature, or humidity sensors to optimize sound transmission and adjust volume based on usage, reducing the need for external packaging and enhancing miniaturization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple bone conduction sound generating components are added to improve sound quality, then sound quality is improved, but volume and weight of the lollipop increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesound qualityVSAvoidweight of lollipop

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSWeight of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple bone conduction sound generating components into a single integrated component. This merging approach allows the component to achieve broadband sound generation capabilities (covering low, mid, and high frequencies) without requiring multiple separate components, thus improving sound quality while avoiding significant increases in weight and volume.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If multiple bone conduction sound generating components are added to improve sound quality, then sound quality is improved, but the lollipop volume increases making it difficult to put into mouth

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesound qualityVSAvoidvolume of lollipop

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates multiple sound generating functions into a single bone conduction component, eliminating the need for multiple separate components that would increase the lollipop's volume. This merging strategy maintains the ability to generate comprehensive sound frequencies while keeping the lollipop size suitable for oral use.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If traditional air horn with multiple horns is used to improve sound quality, then sound quality is improved, but bone conduction sound leakage becomes serious losing privacy protection

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesound qualityVSAvoidsound leakage

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional air horn mechanical sound generation system with a bone conduction vibration system. This substitution eliminates the need for acoustic horns and air pressure mechanisms, directly transmitting vibrations through bone conduction to the user's auditory system, thereby maintaining sound quality while preventing sound leakage to surrounding people and protecting user privacy.

Inventive Principle:

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the operating parameters of the bone conduction vibration sound generating component, specifically adjusting the vibration frequency and amplitude parameters to achieve efficient sound generation. By changing these parameters, the component can produce broadband sound with reduced power consumption compared to existing bone conduction components that operate at fixed parameters.

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a bone conduction based sound generating lollipop, a processing method and a system thereto. The bone conduction based sound generating lollipop includes a housing, a trigger, a controller and a sound generating component. The sound generating component, the controller and the trigger are integrated in a packaging cavity formed by the housing, and a separate packaging of the sound generating component is eliminated. When a supporting component of the housing enters a human oral cavity, the trigger sends an opening instruction to the controller, the controller drives the sound generating component to vibrate, and then a vibration signal is transmitted to a human auditory system in a bone conduction manner after passing through the supporting component of the housing and an edible object attached to the supporting component, and passing through an oral tissue or teeth of the human body.
