Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices' audio output functions fail to meet users' increasing demands for enhanced audio experiences, as they cannot effectively utilize attribute and location information of objects in the environment to provide personalized and spatially relevant audio feedback.
Innovation Solution
An audio output method that acquires attribute and location information of objects, determines corresponding audio information, and adjusts output parameters based on relative spatial relationships to output audio indicative of an object's location, allowing users to perceive their surroundings through audio cues.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing electronic devices provide basic audio output function, then the device complexity is low, but the audio output quality and user experience are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the audio output process into multiple independent modules: object detection module, attribute information acquisition module, spatial relationship determination module, audio information matching module, and parameter adjustment module. Each module handles a specific task, allowing the system to achieve high adaptability while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device is designed with multi-functionality, integrating object detection (via cameras or sensors), audio processing, spatial relationship calculation, and adaptive output control into a single system. This universal approach allows the device to provide enhanced audio output quality without requiring separate dedicated hardware for each function.
2Measurement precision
If the system processes attribute and location information of multiple objects, then the audio output accuracy improves, but the information processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-acquiring and storing attribute information of objects in the environment before audio output is needed. Object detection and attribute extraction are conducted in advance, so when audio output is required, the system only needs to match preprocessed data with current spatial relationships, significantly reducing real-time processing time while maintaining high accuracy.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system adjusts audio output parameters based on spatial relationships, then the immersive experience improves, but the computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by adjusting audio output parameters specifically for different spatial zones and object locations rather than uniformly processing all audio data. The system determines spatial relationships and applies targeted parameter adjustments (such as pan position, volume, or echo effects) only to audio elements requiring spatial modification, reducing overall computational requirements while maintaining immersive experience.
