Innovation Solution

An electronic system and multimedia processing method that acquires audio data, processes it using a smart interpreter engine for neural machine translation, converting speech into text and vice versa, enabling seamless communication across languages by integrating audio processing, relay processing, and smart interpreter engines within gaming systems.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If real-time language translation and vocal identification are implemented in gaming systems, then communication effectiveness between players of different languages is improved, but system complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments audio processing into distinct functional modules: audio data acquisition, vocal identification, noise suppression, speech-to-text conversion, neural machine translation, and text-to-speech conversion. Each module handles a specific task in the communication pipeline, allowing independent optimization and maintenance while collectively solving the language barrier problem in gaming.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediate processing components including noise suppression modules and relay processing modules that mediate between audio input and translation output. These intermediaries filter and prepare audio data before translation, improving accuracy while managing system complexity through structured intermediate stages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If audio data is processed through vocal identification and neural machine translation, then language understanding accuracy is improved, but processing speed and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelanguage understanding accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary vocal identification and noise suppression on audio data before initiating full neural machine translation. By pre-processing audio signals to identify valid speech segments and remove background noise, the system reduces the amount of data requiring intensive translation processing, thereby maintaining accuracy while reducing overall processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial processing by focusing computational resources only on identified vocal segments rather than processing all audio data equally. Noise suppression and vocal identification act as filters that enable selective processing, applying full translation capability only where needed rather than uniformly across all audio input.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If multiple processing modules including audio processing and smart interpreter engines are integrated, then communication quality across languages is improved, but device resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication qualityVSAvoiddevice resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The smart interpreter engine is designed as a multi-functional component that performs vocal identification, speech-to-text conversion, neural machine translation, and text-to-speech conversion within a single integrated system. This universal module handles multiple communication tasks without requiring separate dedicated hardware for each function, optimizing resource utilization while maintaining comprehensive communication quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
