Electronic Album Synchronized Image Audio Playback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic albums require separate commands to display image data and audio data, limiting user convenience and functionality in simultaneous playback.
Innovation Solution
An electronic album system that automatically replays both image and audio files stored in an album folder upon a predetermined command, with controls to loop playback and provide messages if files are exhausted or missing, utilizing a display unit, audio output unit, and control unit for synchronized playback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate commands are used to display image data and audio data, then the electronic album can store and manage both types of data, but the user operation becomes complex and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the playback control of image data and audio data into a single integrated command system. When a user selects an album folder containing both image and audio files, the system automatically plays back both types of data simultaneously through one command, eliminating the need for separate commands and improving operational convenience while maintaining the ability to manage multiple data types
2Ease of operation
If manual control is used to play back image and audio files, then the user has precise control over playback, but the playback process becomes time-consuming and less efficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary organization of image and audio files into album folders with associated relationships defined in advance. When playback is initiated, the system automatically retrieves and synchronizes the corresponding image and audio files based on pre-established links, eliminating the need for manual file selection and significantly improving playback efficiency while maintaining user control through folder selection
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically manages the playback process by self-selecting and synchronizing image and audio files based on pre-defined relationships in the album folder structure. The control unit automatically coordinates the playback timing and sequence of both media types without requiring continuous user intervention, thereby improving playback efficiency while preserving user control through initial folder selection
Data Source
AI summary
An electronic album and a method for replaying the electronic album are provided. The method for replaying the electronic album includes determining whether a predetermined command is received, and replaying an image file and audio file simultaneously, if it is determined that the predetermined command is received. Hence, it is possible for a user to utilize image and audio files which are automatically replayed simultaneously.
