Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless sound boxes face a trade-off between improved sound quality and speech recognition accuracy, as enhancing sound quality often leads to increased nonlinear output and vibration, which interferes with speech frequency bands, resulting in low speech recognition accuracy.

Innovation Solution

A method for configuring a wireless sound box that acquires information on its wakeup mode, adjusting the equalizer parameters accordingly: in speech wakeup mode, it regulates nonlinear distortion by setting specific gain values for certain frequencies, and in non-speech wakeup mode, it adjusts gains for optimal sound effect, thereby reducing interference and enhancing recognition accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If the low frequency band is enhanced to improve sound quality, then the sound quality is improved, but the nonlinear output is increased causing vibration and harmonics that affect speech frequency band, resulting in low speech recognition accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound qualityVSAvoidspeech recognition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the equalizer parameters adjustable based on different wakeup modes. The system dynamically switches between first equalizer parameters (optimized for speech recognition with reduced low frequency gain) and second equalizer parameters (optimized for sound quality with enhanced low frequency gain) according to the detected wakeup mode, allowing the system to adapt its frequency response characteristics to different operational contexts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent directly applies parameter changes by modifying the equalizer parameters (specifically the gain values for different frequency bands) based on the wakeup mode. When speech wakeup mode is detected, the system applies a first set of equalizer parameters that reduce low frequency gain to minimize nonlinear distortion and vibration. When non-speech wakeup mode is detected, the system applies a second set of equalizer parameters that enhance low frequency gain for improved sound quality.
