Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for displaying motion graphics in harmony with music reproduction lack effectiveness in fitting the graphics to the image of the reproduced sound, necessitating an improved method for synchronizing visual elements with audio progression.

Innovation Solution

A music reproduction system that includes a portable communication terminal, an acoustic reproduction device, and server devices to transmit and display motion graphics data synchronized with music genre and structure data, allowing for dynamic adjustment of text and background images based on lyrics and music characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If motion graphics are displayed based on simple music genre classification, then the display system is easier to implement, but the graphics do not fit the image of the reproduced sound well

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of implementationVSAvoidfitting accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments music structure into multiple parameters including genre, tempo, key, and structural sections (verse, chorus, bridge). By dividing the music analysis into these components, the system achieves both ease of implementation through standardized classification and high fitting accuracy through multi-dimensional matching with motion graphics parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes multiple parameters simultaneously including music genre, tempo, key, and structural position to select appropriate motion graphics. This multi-parameter approach allows the system to maintain ease of implementation through parameter-based classification while achieving high fitting accuracy through comprehensive parameter matching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If motion graphics are customized for each section of the musical piece, then the visual expression fits the music better, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual fitting qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the musical piece into standard structural sections (verse, chorus, bridge, intro, outro) and creates specific motion graphics for each section type. This segmentation allows high visual fitting quality through section-specific customization while keeping system complexity manageable through standardized section classification and template-based graphics generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts motion graphics parameters including display timing, duration, and transition effects based on the current music section and tempo. This dynamic adaptation achieves high visual fitting quality while maintaining system simplicity through rule-based dynamic control rather than complex custom programming for each scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Manufacturing precision

If multiple parameters including tempo and key are considered for motion graphics selection, then the graphics fit the music image better, but the data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemusic-image fitting accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system processes multiple music parameters (genre, tempo, key, structure) simultaneously to select motion graphics that fit the music image. By using parameter-based classification and pre-defined mapping rules, the system achieves high fitting accuracy while keeping data processing complexity manageable through standardized parameter handling and template matching algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
