Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless microphone systems require additional equipment for voice transmission and recording, and are limited to one-to-one configurations, making them impractical for multiple photographers capturing multiple subjects.

Innovation Solution

A wireless microphone system with a transmitter and receiver that alternates between data transmission and reception modes, allowing direct communication and recording without additional equipment, and supports multiple user configurations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If additional communication means or recording means are used for voice transmission and recording, then voice transmission and recording functions are achieved, but broadcasting production costs increase and equipment operation becomes complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoice transmission and recording functionVSAvoidequipment operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the communication means and recording means into the existing wireless microphone transmitter and receiver system. The transmitter can operate in both microphone mode (receiving voice) and communication mode (transmitting voice to receiver), while the receiver can operate in both receiving mode and recording mode, eliminating the need for separate equipment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The wireless microphone transmitter and receiver are designed with multi-functional capabilities. The transmitter can function as both a traditional microphone transmitter and a communication device for sending voice to the receiver. The receiver can function as both a traditional receiver and a recording device, allowing a single device to perform multiple roles

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

2Reliability

If wireless microphone transmitters and receivers are configured in one-to-one or many-to-one correspondence, then stable communication is achieved, but the system cannot be used when multiple photographers need to photograph one person or multiple persons simultaneously

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication stabilityVSAvoidmultiple user configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic mode switching capability where the transmitter and receiver can alternately switch between data transmission mode and data reception mode. This dynamic operation allows the system to adapt to different user configurations (one-to-one, many-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many) while maintaining stable communication through structured time-division multiplexing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses periodic time-division multiplexing where data transmission periods and reception waiting periods are alternately repeated. This periodic structure allows multiple transmitters and receivers to share the communication channel efficiently, enabling flexible multi-user configurations while maintaining communication stability through regular time-slot allocation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
