Solution Overview

Problem

Existing volume adjustment methods for mobile terminals are inadequate, failing to dynamically adjust volume based on user physical activity, leading to suboptimal user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method that acquires physical exercise information from users, determines if preset volume adjustment conditions are met, and adjusts the volume accordingly, potentially adjusting frequency and using linear or non-linear volume adjustment techniques.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual volume adjustment is used, then user control is simple and direct, but the volume cannot adapt dynamically to physical exercise states

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevolume adaptability to exercise stateVSAvoidvolume adjustment system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects user physical exercise states through sensors and adjusts volume without manual intervention. The mobile terminal self-adjusts audio output based on detected exercise intensity, eliminating the need for continuous user control while adapting to exercise states.

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. The feedback loop compares detected exercise state with preset conditions and automatically modifies volume output accordingly, enabling real-time adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If automatic volume adjustment based on exercise information is implemented, then volume adapts to user needs, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevolume adjustment convenienceVSAvoidvolume adjustment system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic volume adjustment based on detected exercise states without requiring user operation. The mobile terminal independently monitors physical information, evaluates exercise conditions, and adjusts volume automatically, providing hands-free convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical volume control is replaced with an automated electronic system that uses sensors to detect exercise state and electronically adjusts volume through software control, eliminating the need for physical volume buttons or sliders during exercise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Manufacturing precision

If linear volume adjustment is used, then the adjustment process is simple and fast, but it may not optimally match varying exercise intensities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevolume adjustment precisionVSAvoidvolume adjustment algorithm complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically selects between linear and non-linear volume adjustment methods based on exercise conditions. During high-intensity exercise, non-linear adjustment provides more granular control for precise matching, while during low-intensity exercise, linear adjustment provides simplicity and speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the volume adjustment parameter strategy based on exercise state. When exercise intensity exceeds preset thresholds, the system switches from linear to non-linear adjustment parameters, allowing the adjustment precision to adapt to the varying demands of different exercise intensities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
