Facsimile Disturbance Analysis via Silence Section Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for analyzing communication disturbances in facsimile communications over IP telephone networks are inefficient, as they require operators to listen to long recorded data from both transmitters and receivers to identify causes of delays or signal losses, which is time-consuming and does not effectively contribute to investigating the root cause of disturbances.
Innovation Solution
A communication disturbance analysis device that records and analyzes communication sounds from both transmitters and receivers, detects silence sections, and extracts specific sections for detailed analysis, allowing operators to focus on key data segments rather than entire communication records.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If operators listen to entire recorded communication data from both transmitters and receivers to analyze disturbances, then they can identify the cause of communication errors, but the analysis process becomes extremely time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the entire recorded communication data into multiple sections based on timing information and silence sections. By dividing the continuous recording into discrete segments, operators can focus only on relevant portions containing disturbances rather than listening to the entire communication record, thus reducing analysis time while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and highlights specific sections containing silence sections and timing information from the recorded communication data. This extraction process isolates the critical disturbance-related portions from the rest of the communication record, allowing operators to efficiently locate and analyze only the problematic segments.
2Loss of information
If the entire recorded communication data is analyzed, then complete disturbance information is obtained, but the device complexity and analysis workload increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary processing of the recorded communication data by pre-identifying and marking silence sections and timing information before the actual disturbance analysis. This preliminary action prepares the data in advance, organizing it into structured segments with metadata, which simplifies the subsequent analysis process and reduces the complexity of the analysis system.
3Ease of operation
If detailed analysis of communication sounds is performed to identify disturbance causes, then accurate troubleshooting is achieved, but the operational complexity and time required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different levels of detail and analysis focus for different sections of the communication data. Rather than uniformly analyzing all sections with the same depth, the system selectively applies detailed analysis only to sections containing silence sections or timing anomalies, while summarizing or skipping normal sections, thus improving ease of operation without sacrificing troubleshooting accuracy.
