Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for sending information using sound waves are limited as they can only transmit short links without networks, preventing the direct transmission of numerical values like bank account numbers or mobile phone numbers.

Innovation Solution

A method that generates intermediate values from numerical values to create a short link, using a preset mapping table to convert these values into characters, which are then joined to form a transmissible sound wave link, allowing for the direct transmission of numerical values.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If numerical values are transmitted through network mapping to short links, then the transmission capability is improved, but network dependency increases and applicability without networks deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplicability without networksVSAvoidnetwork mapping process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the network mapping function and relocates it to the terminal device itself. The terminal directly converts numerical values to short links using built-in mapping tables, eliminating the need for server-based network mapping and thus removing network dependency while maintaining transmission capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal device performs self-service by autonomously converting numerical values to short links using its own stored mapping tables. This self-contained conversion process eliminates external network dependency and enables direct transmission of numerical values without requiring server assistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If direct transmission of numerical values is enabled, then transmission versatility is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission versatilityVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data processing into discrete steps: converting the numerical value to intermediate values, mapping intermediate values to characters using lookup tables, and joining characters to form the short link. This segmentation simplifies the overall process by breaking down complex conversion into manageable, sequential operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mapping tables are pre-generated and stored in the terminal device before use. This preliminary action of pre-computing and storing conversion tables eliminates the need for complex real-time calculations during actual transmission, reducing processing complexity while enabling versatile direct transmission of numerical values.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

It is provided a method, an apparatus, and a system for processing a numerical value in sending information using sound waves. The method mainly includes: generating intermediate values from the numerical value which is to be converted into a short link, wherein a number of the intermediate values is equal to a number of characters included in the short link, the numerical value and the short link have a relationship as 10.^(M−1)<X.^N; obtaining characters each corresponding to a respective one of the intermediate values from a preset mapping table between the intermediate values and the characters; joining together the characters to obtain the short link; and transmitting the obtained short link using sound waves. Therefore, the application range of sending information using sound waves can be extended, and the usage of sending information using sound waves can be enhanced.
