Solution Overview

Problem

Existing interactive entertainment electronic systems cannot adapt multimedia effects in real-time based on the position or motion detection of remote users, both in the main station and the remote device, limiting user interaction and immersion.

Innovation Solution

A remote play device equipped with a digital class D amplifier, motion detection devices such as accelerometers or GPS, and a processor that adapts sound effects based on user movement, allowing for wireless communication with the main station to synchronize multimedia effects across devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If wireless technologies are used to connect remote accessories, then user freedom of movement is improved, but real-time adaptation of multimedia effects based on user position or motion is not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser freedom of movementVSAvoidreal-time adaptation of multimedia effects
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates motion detection devices (accelerometers, gyroscopes) in remote play devices to detect user movement and position. This feedback information is transmitted wirelessly to the main station, which then adapts multimedia effects (sound, video, graphical effects) in real-time based on the detected user position or motion, resolving the contradiction between wireless freedom of movement and real-time adaptation capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts multimedia effects parameters based on real-time motion detection data. The main station processes movement information and continuously modifies audio, video, and graphical effects to match user position and motion, enabling adaptive entertainment experience while maintaining wireless connectivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If multimedia effects are processed in both main station and remote device, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocal processing capabilityVSAvoidprocessing architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides multimedia processing into two segments: the main station handles complex processing tasks (video rendering, graphical effects) while remote play devices perform simpler local processing (sound effect adaptation, vibration control). This segmentation enables adaptability through local processing without excessive complexity in each individual device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
