Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional sound processing apparatuses face design challenges in optimizing audio data processing due to the need for multiple openings, such as sound ports, which can lead to design inefficiencies and increased noise interference, especially in mobile devices like cellular phones.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a socket with a sound port integrated into the socket body, allowing acoustic signals to pass through a sound channel formed between the plug port and the microphone, enabling the modification of a correction value based on plug connection status to optimize sound quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple separate sound ports are provided for different acoustic functions, then acoustic signal transmission is ensured, but device complexity and number of openings increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple acoustic functions (microphone input, speaker output, noise cancellation) into a single integrated socket structure. The socket body includes multiple sound ports that share a common acoustic cavity, allowing different acoustic signals to pass through the same physical opening rather than requiring separate openings for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The socket structure serves multiple acoustic functions simultaneously - it acts as both a microphone input port, a speaker output port, and a noise cancellation port. The acoustic cavity within the socket body handles multiple acoustic signal paths, making the single socket structure universal for various acoustic operations.

The socket body includes multiple sound ports that share a common acoustic cavity, allowing different acoustic signals to pass through the same physical opening rather than requiring separate openings for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The acoustic cavity within the socket body acts as an intermediary chamber that manages multiple acoustic signal paths. By routing different acoustic signals through this shared cavity with carefully designed sound ports, the system reduces noise interference that would occur with separate openings exposed to the external environment.
3Manufacturing precision
If correction value is modified based on plug connection status, then sound quality is optimized, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by detecting the plug connection status and automatically adjusting the correction value accordingly. When a plug is detected in the socket, the system modifies the acoustic correction parameters to account for the changed acoustic environment, ensuring optimal sound quality for different usage scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The correction value is made dynamic rather than fixed. The system automatically adapts the correction parameters based on the real-time detection of plug connection status, allowing the acoustic characteristics to change dynamically according to the actual usage condition without requiring manual intervention.
