Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users manually set synchronous states for multiple audio reproduction apparatuses, then the system can maintain precise synchronization control, but user convenience deteriorates due to frequent state management requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures multiple preset synchronous states that define specific synchronization configurations for multiple audio reproduction apparatuses. Instead of requiring users to manually set synchronous states each time, the presets are prepared in advance with predetermined apparatus combinations and synchronization parameters. Users simply select from these pre-configured options, eliminating repetitive manual configuration while maintaining precise synchronization control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and stores multiple copies of synchronous state configurations as presets. Each preset is a replicated configuration that can be quickly restored by selecting the corresponding preset identifier. This copying approach allows the system to maintain multiple valid synchronization configurations without requiring users to recreate them manually, thus improving convenience while preserving synchronization precision.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system provides multiple preset configurations for content reproduction apparatuses, then adaptability improves, but device complexity increases due to preset management requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the complex preset management functionality into a dedicated command processing apparatus that operates independently from the content reproduction apparatuses. The operation apparatus generates preset restoration commands based on user input, and the command processing apparatus interprets and executes these commands by restoring appropriate synchronous states. This extraction reduces the complexity burden on individual reproduction apparatuses while maintaining high adaptability through multiple preset configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The operation apparatus serves as an intermediary between the user and the content reproduction apparatuses. It receives user input (such as voice commands or button presses), determines the appropriate preset to restore, generates corresponding commands, and transmits them to the command processing apparatus. This intermediary role simplifies the overall system architecture by centralizing preset management logic and reducing direct complexity requirements at the reproduction apparatus level.

AI summary
A control method of operation apparatus includes receiving selection of at least one of a plurality of presets, set in advance, regarding a plurality of content reproduction apparatuses, transmitting a synchronous state cancel signal for canceling at least some of the current synchronous states of the plurality of content reproduction apparatuses, and transmitting a preset restoring signal for restoring a preset selected.
