Solution Overview

Problem

Existing speech synthesis systems require separate speech synthesis front-ends for each language, leading to increased resource occupation and inefficient use of online resources.

Innovation Solution

A method for text analysis that converts text into token sequences of a uniform type, allowing for language-independent feature extraction and processing, using a multilingual vocabulary and a pre-trained feature extraction unit for zero-shot learning across languages.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If separate speech synthesis front-ends are built for each language, then language-specific text analysis accuracy is improved, but online resource occupation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetext analysis accuracyVSAvoidonline resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a single speech synthesis front-end that can process multiple languages. The core innovation lies in using language-independent tokenization and feature extraction mechanisms that work across different languages without requiring separate front-end systems for each language, thereby reducing online resource occupation while maintaining text analysis accuracy.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple language-specific processing capabilities into a unified front-end system. By combining language-agnostic tokenization, universal feature extraction, and multi-language phoneme generation into a single system, it eliminates the need for separate front-ends for each language, thus reducing resource consumption while preserving accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If separate speech synthesis front-ends are built for each language, then language-specific processing capability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelanguage processing capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal front-end architecture that handles multiple languages through a single system. The language-independent tokenization and feature extraction components provide adaptability across languages without requiring separate processing pipelines, thereby maintaining versatility while reducing system complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces language-independent tokens and universal feature representations as intermediaries between the input text and the phoneme generation stage. These intermediaries enable the system to process different languages uniformly without requiring language-specific processing logic, thus reducing system complexity while maintaining language adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If language-specific feature extraction is performed, then extraction precision for each language is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature extraction precisionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a universal feature extraction mechanism that operates independently of language. By extracting features from language-independent tokens, the system achieves consistent extraction precision across multiple languages without requiring separate extraction processes for each language, thereby reducing total processing time.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the text processing into language-independent stages: tokenization, feature extraction, and phoneme generation. By separating the feature extraction stage from language-specific considerations and operating on universal tokens, it achieves efficient processing that maintains precision while reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
