Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If sound effect parameters are manually configured, then user customization is achieved, but adjustment efficiency and accuracy are low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound effect configuration efficiencyVSAvoidsound effect parameter accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent copies sound effect parameters from a reference electronic device to the current electronic device. The processor acquires sound effect parameters from the reference device and automatically configures them on the current device, eliminating manual configuration while maintaining parameter accuracy through direct copying of proven settings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically detecting the target application, identifying the reference device, acquiring its sound effect parameters, and applying them without user intervention. The electronic device serves itself by autonomously optimizing its audio output based on reference device configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If sound effects are fixed without adjustment, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different applications and users is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound effect adaptabilityVSAvoidsound effect adjustment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic sound effect adjustment where the system automatically adapts audio parameters based on the running application and reference device identification. The sound effects transition from fixed to dynamic, changing according to application type and reference device characteristics without requiring complex manual user configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system achieves universality by using a standardized process that works across different applications and device types. The same mechanism of detecting applications, identifying reference devices, and copying parameters provides a universal solution that adapts to various scenarios without requiring application-specific complex configuration interfaces.

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

3Loss of time

If automatic sound effect adjustment is implemented, then configuration speed is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound effect configuration timeVSAvoidparameter acquisition and adjustment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing the correspondence relationship between current electronic devices and reference devices, and by pre-configuring sound effect parameters on reference devices. When adjustment is needed, the system simply retrieves and applies pre-prepared parameters, significantly reducing configuration time while managing complexity through advance preparation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
