Solution Overview

Problem

Existing live streaming systems face interruptions in audio recording due to operations of other applications, leading to abnormal push-based streaming that cannot be resolved if the push-based streaming terminal is not operational.

Innovation Solution

Collect audio recording data through a target program running in the background during live streaming, detect recording failures, replace the audio recording data with preset audio data such as white noise, and send this data to the push-based streaming terminal to maintain stable streaming.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If audio recording is performed through a target program during live streaming, then the live streaming function is achieved, but recording interruptions occur due to other application operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelive streaming functionVSAvoidrecording continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of recording status before streaming occurs. By detecting whether the target program is currently recording audio data and checking the recording status in advance, the system can identify potential recording interruptions before they affect the live streaming, allowing for preventive measures to be taken.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary detection mechanism between the target program and the push-based streaming terminal. This intermediary layer monitors the recording status and acts as a buffer, detecting recording interruptions and triggering replacement audio data generation to maintain streaming continuity without direct interference from the target program's operational state.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If recording failure detection is implemented, then abnormal push-based streaming can be identified, but the streaming remains unresolved if the push-based streaming terminal is not operational

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecording failure detectionVSAvoidstreaming resolution
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically generating and sending replacement audio data when recording failures are detected. Instead of requiring manual intervention at the push-based streaming terminal, the anchor terminal autonomously detects the recording failure, generates appropriate replacement audio data, and continues streaming without interruption, making the system self-resolving.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system prepares replacement audio data in advance for various recording failure scenarios. By having predetermined replacement audio data ready and automatically deploying it when failures occur, the system ensures continuous streaming operation without requiring real-time manual resolution at the streaming terminal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If audio recording data is collected in real-time, then live streaming quality is maintained, but recording interruptions cause abnormal streaming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelive streaming qualityVSAvoidstreaming stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary mechanism that monitors recording status between the audio source and streaming output. This intermediary detection layer identifies recording interruptions in real-time and triggers the replacement audio data generation process, ensuring that streaming stability is maintained even when the original recording is interrupted.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system converts the harmful effect of recording interruptions into a beneficial outcome by automatically detecting these interruptions and replacing the problematic audio data with predetermined replacement audio data. This transforms the potential harm of recording failures into an opportunity to maintain continuous, stable streaming through automated correction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)
