Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If mobile devices process and edit multiple video and audio signals in real-time for relay broadcasting, then relay broadcasting content can be produced, but the device requires expensive high-end equipment with substantial hardware resources
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the relay broadcasting production process into distinct functional modules: video signal reception, audio signal reception, real-time processing, editing, and transmission. Each module is handled by dedicated hardware components, allowing the system to process multiple video and audio signals simultaneously without requiring a single overloaded processor. This modular segmentation enables general mobile devices to perform relay broadcasting by distributing computational tasks across specialized components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing system that bridges between the mobile device's camera/microphone inputs and the final relay broadcasting output. This intermediary layer includes dedicated video processing units, audio processing units, and an editing system that handles the computationally intensive tasks of real-time signal processing and multi-channel mixing, allowing the mobile device itself to remain relatively simple while achieving high-quality relay broadcasting production.
2Ease of operation
If mobile devices perform simple operations only on generated videos and audios, then device performance requirements are met, but the ability to produce relay broadcasting content is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the mobile device with multi-functional capabilities that allow it to serve both as a simple recording device and as a relay broadcasting production system. The device integrates multiple functions including video capture, audio capture, real-time processing, multi-channel signal mixing, and broadcasting transmission within a single unified platform. This universality enables the device to handle complex relay broadcasting tasks while maintaining ease of operation through automated processing and user-friendly interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts processing parameters such as video resolution, frame rate, audio sampling rate, and encoding quality based on available hardware resources and operational requirements. This parameter adaptation allows the device to optimize between simplicity and productivity - when full relay broadcasting capability is needed, parameters are adjusted to maximize processing performance, while in simpler modes, parameters are reduced to maintain ease of operation and lower resource consumption.
