Recording Device Response Sound Control for Multi-Device Interference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When multiple imaging devices are ordered to start recording, the recording start sound emitted by one device can be recorded by others, requiring users to manually adjust settings for each device, which is time-consuming and effort-intensive.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method and system that automatically control the response sound of recording devices based on whether multiple devices are connected to a control device, determining the control mode to prevent the recording start sound from being output.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple imaging devices are connected to a control device for simultaneous recording control, then the functionality and versatility of the system is improved, but the recording start sound from one device is recorded by other devices, creating a harmful effect
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making each recording device have different sound output characteristics based on its role in the network. The control device that issues the recording start command is assigned to output the recording start sound, while other recording devices that receive the command are assigned to suppress sound output. This localized differentiation of sound output functionality resolves the contradiction by allowing multiple devices to be connected for versatile control while preventing harmful sound recording interference.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If manual settings are adjusted for each imaging device to suppress recording start sound, then the harmful effect of sound recording is eliminated, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to time-consuming manipulation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling recording devices to automatically determine and adjust their own sound output settings based on their role in the recording operation. When a recording device receives a recording start command, it automatically identifies whether it is the control device or a subordinate device and adjusts its sound output accordingly without requiring manual user intervention. This eliminates the harmful sound recording effect while maintaining ease of operation, as the system self-configures without time-consuming manual manipulation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses feedback mechanisms where recording devices automatically receive and process information about their role in the recording network. The control device transmits recording start commands that include information about which device should output the recording start sound. Each recording device receives this feedback information and automatically adjusts its sound output setting based on the received command, eliminating the need for manual user configuration while preventing harmful sound recording.
3Ease of operation
If automatic control of response sound is implemented, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional determination functions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by integrating the sound output determination function into the existing recording control communication protocol. The same communication infrastructure used for transmitting recording start commands is also used for conveying sound output control information. The determination unit that decides whether to output recording start sound is incorporated into the standard recording control flow, allowing the system to provide automatic control functionality without adding separate dedicated hardware or complex independent control systems. This multi-functional approach improves ease of operation while minimizing the increase in device complexity.
