Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulty in quickly selecting a wireless earphone from multiple earphone bases with similar appearances, and existing methods require manual opening and identification, which is inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

The earphone base communicates with a user terminal to send data and respond to selection commands, allowing users to identify and select wireless earphones through responsive actions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If users manually open lids of earphone bases one by one to identify wireless earphones, then the user can identify the earphone, but the operation becomes inconvenient and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidoperation convenience

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual opening action with a wireless communication system. The user terminal sends selection commands wirelessly to earphone bases, and the bases respond with identification information or execute actions automatically, eliminating the need for physical lid opening while maintaining accurate identification.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The user terminal serves as an intermediary between the user and the earphone bases. It receives identification requests, communicates with multiple earphone bases simultaneously, displays information, and handles selection commands, thereby simplifying the user's interaction with multiple devices.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If users manually open lids of earphone bases one by one to identify wireless earphones, then the user can identify the earphone, but the time required increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidselection time

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables continuous identification of multiple earphone bases simultaneously through wireless communication. The user terminal can query and receive identification information from multiple bases at the same time, rather than sequentially opening lids one by one, thereby maintaining continuous progress in the identification process.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the time-consuming mechanical process of manually opening lids with wireless communication-based identification. The user terminal can send identification requests to multiple earphone bases simultaneously and receive responses wirelessly, dramatically reducing the time required compared to manual inspection.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of manufacture

If earphone bases have similar appearances, then the design is simple and uniform, but users find it difficult to identify and select the correct earphone

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedesign simplicityVSAvoididentification difficulty

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The user terminal acts as an intermediary that receives identification requests from the user, communicates with earphone bases to obtain their identification information, and presents this information to the user. This intermediary system enables users to distinguish between similarly designed earphone bases through digital identification rather than visual differentiation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces visual identification mechanisms with wireless communication-based identification systems. Instead of relying on visual differences between earphone bases, the system uses digital signals to transmit and display unique identification information, allowing users to distinguish between identical-looking devices through electronic means.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

The present invention provides a method for selecting a response, an earphone base, a method of selecting a wireless earphone, a device and a medium. The method for selecting a response includes sending communication data to a user terminal, the communication data comprises a wireless earphone communication data and/or an earphone base communication data; detecting whether a selection command for the wireless earphone sent from the user terminal is received; and controlling the earphone base corresponding to the selection command to execute a predetermined response action. By adopting the present invention, the earphone base establishes a connection with the user terminal through its own communication function or a connected wireless earphone. The communication data of the earphone base and the wireless earphone are sent to the user terminal for the user to view. The earphone base is capable of responding when receiving the selection command. The user can quickly find the corresponding earphone base and the wireless earphone according to the response action, which saves the time of selecting and searching for the wireless earphone.
