Solution Overview

Problem

Mainstream headsets with a single sound-emitting unit struggle to achieve high-quality audio playback due to limitations in sound reproduction.

Innovation Solution

An audio processing device with multiple sound-emitting units that perform frequency division processing on audio data to generate sub-audio data for each unit, followed by audio adjustment to match the characteristics of each unit, enhancing sound quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a single sound-emitting unit is used in the headset, then the device complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but the sound quality effect deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidsound quality effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The audio frequency spectrum is segmented into multiple frequency bands (low, mid, high frequencies), and each sound-emitting unit is assigned to handle specific frequency bands. This segmentation allows each unit to specialize in a particular frequency range, improving overall sound quality while maintaining a manageable device structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different sound-emitting units are designed with different local qualities optimized for their specific frequency bands. Each unit's audio characteristics are tuned to match its designated frequency range, ensuring optimal performance for that specific portion of the audio spectrum

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple sound-emitting units with frequency division processing are used, then the sound quality effect is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound quality effectVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The audio processing system is segmented into multiple independent processing chains, each handling a specific frequency band and corresponding sound-emitting unit. This modular segmentation allows for specialized processing without requiring a completely complex integrated system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The audio processing device is designed with multi-functionality to handle multiple frequency bands simultaneously through different processing paths. Each processing path can be independently optimized while contributing to the overall audio output, reducing the need for separate dedicated systems for each frequency band

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
