Solution Overview

Problem

Current audio processing technologies focus on achieving a flat frequency response, which may lose the characteristic of the audio and fail to express it perfectly, as they are not suitable for automatic adjustment across different conditions and scenes, leading to suboptimal auditory experiences.

Innovation Solution

An algorithm-based audio optimization method that converts audio files from the time domain to the frequency domain, matches frequency ranges with standard sound sources, and applies specific frequency mapping functions to compress or expand frequencies, resulting in an optimized audio file through inverse Fourier transform, enhancing sound quality automatically.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a frequency equalizer is used to adjust gain values in each frequency band, then the auditory effect of music may be improved, but the method is only suitable for manual adjustment according to personal preference and cannot automatically adjust under different conditions and scenes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanual adjustment capabilityVSAvoidautomatic adjustment capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically identifies audio types and applies appropriate frequency mapping functions without requiring manual user intervention. The audio processing device self-adjusts parameters based on detected audio characteristics, enabling automatic adaptation to different conditions and scenes while improving auditory effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs frequency mapping functions that dynamically change frequency parameters based on detected audio types. Different frequency mapping functions are selected and applied automatically according to the identified audio characteristics, enabling the system to adapt to various audio scenarios without manual adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If the frequency response curve is made flat to improve voice accuracy, then the reproduction capability is enhanced, but the characteristic of the voice is lost and cannot be expressed perfectly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoice accuracyVSAvoidvoice characteristic
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different frequency mapping functions to different frequency bands based on the identified audio type. Instead of uniformly flattening the entire frequency response, the system selectively adjusts specific frequency ranges to preserve voice characteristics while maintaining accuracy, allowing different parts of the frequency spectrum to have different processing qualities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically selects and applies frequency mapping functions based on real-time audio type detection. The frequency response characteristics change dynamically according to the detected audio scenario, enabling the system to maintain both accuracy and characteristic expression by adapting to different audio types rather than using a static flat response.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
