Innovation Solution

A media broadcasting system comprising a processing device electrically coupled to multiple broadcasting devices, which receives audio data and identifies position parameters to transmit specific channel audio signals to corresponding devices, allowing for improved stereo and situational audio effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If multiple broadcasting devices receive the same audio signal, then the system configuration is simple, but the audio broadcasting performance is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem configurationVSAvoidaudio broadcasting performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the audio signal into multiple channel signals (first channel audio signal, second channel audio signal, etc.) corresponding to different position parameters. Each broadcasting device receives only the audio signal relevant to its position, transforming the monolithic audio distribution into segmented, position-specific channels that improve spatial audio performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different audio channel signals to different broadcasting devices based on their specific position parameters. Instead of uniform audio distribution, each device receives tailored audio content matched to its spatial location, enhancing the localized audio experience and spatial positioning accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Device complexity

If the same audio signal is transmitted to all devices, then the transmission process is simple, but the stereo and spatial audio effects are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission processVSAvoidstereo and spatial audio effects
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamics by enabling the audio signal transmission to adapt based on the position parameters of each broadcasting device. The system dynamically selects and transmits appropriate channel audio signals according to device positions, transforming static uniform transmission into dynamic position-aware distribution that enhances stereo and spatial effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by leveraging position parameters to determine which audio channel signals should be transmitted to each device. By changing the transmission parameters based on device positions, the system achieves adaptable audio distribution that creates immersive stereo and spatial audio experiences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
