Game Voice Chat Priority Control via Dynamic Volume Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
During in-game voice chat, it is difficult for players to distinguish the content of utterances when multiple users speak simultaneously, and if the game leading user's voice is not properly transmitted, the game progress is hindered.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that adjust the voice volume and timbre of the game leading user's voice signal based on game log information, ensuring their voice is prioritized over other players by increasing its volume and applying specific audio effects when certain game conditions are met, such as being near a target or having higher authority rankings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple game users utter simultaneously during in-game voice chat, then the communication coverage is improved, but the clarity of individual utterance content deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by giving the game leading user's voice signal different (higher) volume characteristics compared to other game users. This creates a quality distinction in the voice chat system where the leader's voice is locally enhanced to ensure clarity while maintaining multi-user communication capability.
2Loss of information
If the game leading user's voice volume is increased to improve transmission clarity, then the utterance clarity is improved, but the voice volume balance among users deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by dynamically adjusting the voice volume based on the user's role in the game. The system automatically enhances the leading user's voice volume when they are in a leadership position, and adjusts other users' volumes accordingly, creating a dynamic volume balance that adapts to game conditions rather than maintaining a static equal-volume system.
3Reliability
If voice control is applied only to game leading user, then the transmission priority is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing voice control conditions based on game log information before voice chat occurs. The system proactively identifies when a user is in a leading position and prepares the appropriate volume enhancement, rather than reacting to voice chat demands in real-time, thereby simplifying the control logic.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring game log related information to determine whether voice control conditions are satisfied. The system uses feedback from game state information (such as authority rankings and game progress) to automatically adjust voice signal processing, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to game conditions.
