Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users find it difficult to accurately replicate the sound production of their favorite artists due to a lack of specific setting information and playing methods for musical equipment, leading to time-consuming trial and error and unnecessary purchases.
Innovation Solution
A server device and system that allows users to share and access performance information, including moving images, audio, and equipment settings, enabling easy replication of desired sound outputs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users manually investigate and replicate artist equipment settings through trial and error, then they can eventually achieve similar sound output, but the process consumes excessive time and resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-capturing and storing the exact equipment settings and performance parameters used by artists during their performances. This captured setting information is then made available to users in advance, eliminating the need for time-consuming trial and error adjustments. Users can directly apply pre-configured settings that have already been optimized during the artist's performance, thus resolving the contradiction between accurate sound replication and time consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements copying by creating digital replicas of artist equipment settings and performance configurations. Instead of manually adjusting equipment to match artist sounds, users can directly copy the captured setting information (including equipment parameters, signal chain configurations, and performance data) from the server to their own systems. This copying mechanism enables accurate sound replication instantaneously, resolving the time-loss contradiction.
2Measurement precision
If users manually adjust equipment settings to replicate artist sounds, then they can achieve desired output, but they often make unnecessary equipment purchases due to lack of information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system (server and mobile terminal application) that mediates between artists' equipment settings and users' needs. This intermediary captures, stores, and transmits detailed setting information including equipment models, parameter values, signal chain configurations, and performance data. By providing this comprehensive information through the intermediary, users can make informed decisions about equipment requirements without unnecessarily purchasing gear they don't actually need, while still achieving accurate sound replication.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by providing users with detailed information about the equipment and settings used by artists. The system captures performance data and equipment configuration information, then feeds this back to users through the mobile terminal application. This feedback loop enables users to understand exactly what equipment and settings are needed to replicate artist sounds, preventing unnecessary purchases and improving replication accuracy.
3Ease of operation
If comprehensive performance information is shared across the network, then users can easily replicate artist sounds, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling users to independently access, download, and apply artist equipment settings through the mobile terminal application without requiring complex manual configuration or technical expertise. The system automatically captures performance data, stores it on the server, and allows users to retrieve and apply settings with minimal interaction. This self-service approach simplifies the user experience while the backend complexity is handled automatically by the system, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and system complexity.
