Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If media data is equalized to ensure balanced playback loudness, then playback quality is improved, but manual volume adjustment is still required which affects user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayback qualityVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary volume adjustment before playback based on historical data analysis. By predicting the optimal volume setting in advance using equalization characteristics and user behavior patterns, the system pre-configures the volume to match user preferences, eliminating the need for manual adjustment during playback while maintaining equalization quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If manual volume adjustment is allowed, then user experience can be improved, but the system requires continuous user intervention which reduces automation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidautomation level
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system establishes a feedback loop by collecting historical volume adjustment data during playback, analyzing user preferences and equalization characteristics, and using this information to automatically adjust volume settings for future playbacks. This closed-loop system learns from user behavior and progressively improves automation, reducing the need for continuous manual intervention while enhancing user experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically adjusting volume based on analyzed historical data and predicted user preferences. The equalization characteristics and playback history serve as the system's own knowledge base, allowing it to autonomously optimize volume settings without requiring user input, thereby improving both automation level and user experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Extent of automation

If volume is adjusted based on historical playback records, then the need for manual adjustment is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation levelVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves volume adjustment functionality by integrating multiple existing components: equalization analysis module, historical data storage, probability calculation engine, and automatic control module. By making these existing components work together in a unified framework, the system reduces manual adjustment needs without requiring entirely new complex subsystems, thereby managing complexity while improving automation

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

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a method for adjusting volume, an electronic device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The method for adjusting volume includes: determining a volume adjustment probability of target media data during its playback at a preset volume based on a historical playback record of the target media data, wherein the historical playback record includes a volume adjustment record of the target media data during its playbacks in the past; in response to that the volume adjustment probability is greater than a first threshold, determining a first probability for increasing the preset volume and a second probability for reducing the preset volume based on the volume adjustment record; based on a comparison result between the first probability and the second probability, determining a target adjustment policy; and adjusting the preset volume according to the target adjustment policy to determine a to-be-played volume of the target media data.
