Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If fixed sound effect parameters are used in terminals, then device complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but adaptability to different application scenarios deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different application scenariosVSAvoidsound parameter configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic sound parameter adjustment by detecting screen orientation changes and automatically switching between portrait and landscape sound configuration parameter groups. The system transitions from static fixed parameters to dynamic adaptive parameters that automatically adjust according to the current display mode, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes sound effect parameters based on screen orientation detection. When the screen rotates between portrait and landscape modes, the system selects different sound configuration parameter groups accordingly, allowing the sound parameters to change dynamically with the display orientation, thus improving adaptability without requiring complex manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If fixed sound effect parameters are used, then ease of operation is improved, but listening experience quality deteriorates in different application scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound parameter adjustment easeVSAvoidsound effect quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting screen orientation and selecting appropriate sound parameter groups without user intervention. The terminal device autonomously adjusts sound effects based on whether the screen is in portrait or landscape mode, maintaining ease of operation while significantly improving sound effect quality for different application scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring screen orientation state and using this information to automatically adjust sound parameters. The detection of screen mode changes triggers automatic switching between different sound configuration parameter groups, creating a closed-loop system that maintains optimal sound quality without requiring manual user adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
