Dynamic Volume Adjustment for Video Call Clarity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
During video calls, users face inconvenience due to varying call quality caused by ambient noise and loud volumes from other electronic devices, leading to manual adjustments of content volumes, which can be distracting and inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for adjusting the volume of an electronic device based on the relative difference between the user's voice and the volume of another device, using a processor to determine volume adjustment amounts and adjust output volumes dynamically during video calls, ensuring clear communication and content watching.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the volume of content from another electronic device is increased for better content watching experience, then the content visibility is improved, but the call quality deteriorates due to noise occlusion
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the volume of content from another electronic device based on real-time detection of user speech. When the user speaks, the content volume is automatically reduced to prevent noise occlusion. When the user is silent, the content volume is restored to maintain viewing experience. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction between content visibility and call quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses a speech detection mechanism that provides feedback about the user's speaking state to the volume control system. Based on this feedback, the system automatically adjusts the content volume from other electronic devices, ensuring optimal call quality when speaking and optimal content visibility when silent.
2Reliability
If the user manually adjusts the content volume to improve call quality, then the call quality is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to frequent manual adjustments
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-adjustment of content volume from other electronic devices based on automatic speech detection. The user does not need to manually intervene in the volume adjustment process - the system monitors speech status and autonomously modifies volumes to maintain optimal call quality, thereby improving ease of operation while preserving call quality.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the call microphone is turned on during content playback, then the communication capability is improved, but harmful factors increase due to howling and noise
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the volume of content from other electronic devices based on the speech status detection. When the user speaks, the content volume is automatically reduced to prevent noise occlusion and howling. When the user is silent, the content volume is restored. This dynamic adjustment allows the call microphone to remain active without generating harmful noise, improving communication capability while eliminating harmful factors.

AI summary
A method for adjusting the volume of an electronic device, according to an embodiment, may comprise: adjusting, based on a user's voice being input into a first electronic device, the output volume of a second electronic device based on a second volume adjustment amount, determined based on the relative difference between the volume of the user's voice and the volume of the second electronic device measured in the first electronic device, and/or a third volume adjustment amount, input through a volume adjustment interface; adjusting, based on a conversation partner's voice being output from the first electronic device, the output volume of the first electronic device based on a first volume adjustment amount, determined based on the volume of the second electronic device measured in the first electronic device, and/or the third volume adjustment amount; and adjusting, based on the user and the conversation partner speaking simultaneously, the output volume of the second electronic device based on the first volume adjustment amount and/or the third volume adjustment amount, and determining the output volume of the first electronic device based on the volume of the user's voice.
