Mobile Audio Sound Effect Preconfiguration for Playback Fluency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile terminal audio systems require manual configuration of sound effects, leading to inconvenience and potential delays in audio playback, affecting user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a mobile terminal automatically determines sound effect parameters based on predefined mappings and system time, sending pre-configuration instructions to audio output devices to set sound effects for audio streams, thereby eliminating the need for manual settings and improving playback fluency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual configuration of sound effects is required, then users can precisely control audio parameters, but user convenience deteriorates and operation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures multiple sound effect parameter sets corresponding to different time periods (morning, afternoon, evening, night) in advance. When audio playback is detected, the system automatically selects and applies the appropriate pre-configured parameter set based on the current time, eliminating the need for manual real-time configuration and reducing operation time to zero.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables automatic sound effect configuration by detecting audio playback events and autonomously selecting appropriate parameter sets based on system time. The configuration process is fully automated without requiring user intervention, making the system serve itself in the configuration task while improving ease of operation.
2Speed
If sound effects are configured in real-time during audio playback, then audio playback fluency is maintained, but delays occur due to configuration processing
Solution Approach 1:
Sound effect parameter sets are prepared and configured in advance during non-playback periods. Multiple parameter sets corresponding to different time periods are pre-loaded into the system memory, so when audio playback starts, the system only needs to retrieve and apply the appropriate pre-configured parameters, eliminating configuration processing delays and maintaining playback fluency.
3Extent of automation
If automatic sound effect configuration is implemented, then user convenience is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The automatic configuration system is segmented into distinct functional modules: audio playback detection module, time period determination module, parameter set selection module, and parameter application module. Each module performs a specific function independently, making the overall automated system easier to understand, implement, and maintain despite the increased automation level.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses parameter sets that define different sound effect configurations for different time periods. By changing only the selected parameter set based on system time rather than modifying the underlying configuration logic, the system achieves high automation with minimal complexity in the decision-making process.

AI summary
Disclosed are a sound effect configuration method and system and a related device. The method comprises: determining, when a starting operation on a target application of a mobile terminal is detected, a sound effect setting time period to which the system time belongs, the target application being used for controlling an audio output device; determining a reference sound effect parameter corresponding to the sound effect setting time period to which the system time belongs according to mapping relationships between pre-stored sound effect setting time periods of the audio output device and sound effect parameters; sending a pre-configuration instruction comprising the reference sound effect parameter to the audio output device, the pre-configuration instruction being used for instructing the audio output device to create, according to the reference sound effect parameter, a sound effect instance for an audio stream to be played, and the sound effect instance being used for configuring the sound effect of the audio stream to be played. Embodiments of the present invention can improve convenience and intelligence of sound effect setting and user experience.
