Solution Overview

Problem

Existing volume adjustment methods for mobile terminals are inadequate and fail to automatically adjust volume according to user physical activity, leading to suboptimal user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method that acquires physical exercise information from users, determines preset volume adjustment conditions, and adjusts the volume level accordingly, allowing for automatic volume adjustments based on physical exercise intensity, duration, and movement speed, optionally adjusting sound frequency for enhanced user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual volume adjustment methods are used, then users can control volume, but the volume does not automatically adapt to physical exercise conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevolume adaptation to physical exerciseVSAvoidmanual adjustment requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically adjusts volume based on detected physical exercise conditions without requiring manual user input. The mobile terminal detects exercise state through sensors and autonomously adjusts audio output parameters, making the system self-adaptive to user needs during exercise activities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors physical exercise information through sensors and uses this feedback to dynamically adjust volume settings. The closed-loop control ensures volume adapts in real-time to changing exercise conditions, improving adaptability while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If automatic volume adjustment based on physical exercise is implemented, then user experience is enhanced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic volume adaptationVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile terminal uses its existing multi-functional capabilities (sensors, processor, audio output) to implement volume adjustment. By leveraging already-present components for multiple purposes, the system achieves automatic adaptation without significantly increasing overall device complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The volume adjustment function is integrated with the existing exercise detection and audio playback systems. By merging these functions into a unified control mechanism, the system achieves automatic volume adaptation while minimizing additional complexity through shared components and coordinated operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If volume is adjusted according to exercise intensity, then audio output matches user needs, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevolume adjustment accuracyVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system adjusts audio output parameters (volume, frequency) based on exercise intensity parameters detected by sensors. By dynamically changing these parameters according to measured physical conditions, the system achieves accurate adaptation while energy consumption is managed through efficient parameter optimization rather than constant maximum output.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
