Solution Overview

Problem

Existing speaker systems do not effectively enhance the user's listening sensation by filtering out incoherent sounds using multiple sound chambers.

Innovation Solution

A sound emitting device with multiple isobaric chambers, where the volumes of these chambers are specifically ratioed to create a dampening effect, and a light source driven by audio information to enhance the listening experience, is used to filter out incoherent sounds.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If multiple isobaric chambers with specific volume ratios are used, then incoherent sounds are filtered out and listening sensation is enhanced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveincoherent soundsVSAvoidmultiple sound chambers
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into multiple isobaric chambers (first isobaric chamber, second isobaric chamber, third isobaric chamber) with specific volume ratios. Each chamber is associated with specific sound drivers and serves a particular function in filtering incoherent sounds, while collectively providing the enhanced listening sensation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent specifies precise volume ratios between the isobaric chambers (second chamber volume is 1.5-1.7 times the first, third chamber volume is 1.5-1.7 times the second). These parameter changes are critical for creating the dampening effect that filters incoherent sounds while maintaining coherent audio output.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple sound drivers and isobaric chambers are implemented, then sound quality is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound qualityVSAvoidmultiple components assembly
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple sound drivers are integrated into the isobaric chambers in a coordinated manner. The first sound driver, second sound driver, and third sound driver are positioned to work together with the respective chambers, creating a unified system that produces enhanced sound quality through collaborative operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

Air channels serve as intermediaries that fluidly couple the isobaric chambers and sound drivers. The air channels provide controlled pathways for sound wave propagation between components, enabling precise acoustic interaction while simplifying the overall assembly process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If isobaric chambers with specific volume ratios are used, then incoherent sounds are dampened, but device size increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveincoherent soundsVSAvoidheadset size
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The isobaric chambers are nested within the compact headset structure, with each chamber strategically positioned to maximize acoustic effectiveness while minimizing overall device volume. The chambers are arranged to utilize available space efficiently within the headset housing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent specifies precise volume ratios (1.5-1.7 times relationship between consecutive chambers) that optimize the dampening effect. These parameter changes allow the system to achieve effective incoherent sound filtering while controlling the absolute volume of each chamber to fit within compact headset dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A speaker system uses multiple sound chambers having phi ratios to create a dampening effect to filter out incoherent sounds, thus creating an enhanced listening experience that feels very natural to the listener. The speaker system has at least a sound driver, a first sound chamber having a first volume, and a second sound chamber having a second volume that is approximately 1.6 times the first volume. The speaker system can also have a second sound driver, and a third sound chamber having a third volume that is that is approximately 1.6 times the second volume.
