Solution Overview
Problem
The communication of vibration information lacks standardization, leading to increased data communication traffic when transmitted alongside speech and image information, causing synchronization issues and discomfort for users.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If vibration information is transmitted together with speech and image information using separate communication channels, then vibration information can be communicated, but data communication traffic increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines vibration information and speech information into a single integrated data stream transmitted over one communication channel. The vibration waveform data is embedded within the speech data structure, allowing both types of information to be communicated simultaneously without requiring separate transmission channels, thereby reducing overall data traffic while maintaining complete information delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal data structure that can carry both speech and vibration information through a single communication interface. This multi-functional data format allows the same communication channel to handle multiple types of information (speech waveform data and vibration waveform data) without requiring specialized separate channels for each type.
2Productivity
If vibration information and speech information are transmitted separately, then each can be processed independently, but synchronization issues occur causing output deviations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary integration of vibration and speech data into a unified structure before transmission. By embedding the vibration waveform data within the speech data structure in advance, the system ensures that both information types are already synchronized and coordinated before being sent through the communication channel, eliminating synchronization issues that would otherwise require complex post-processing alignment.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a standardized format for vibration information communication is implemented, then unified communication is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent nests vibration waveform data within the existing speech data structure, creating a hierarchical organization where vibration information is embedded as a subset of the overall audio data format. This nested structure allows the system to implement a standardized unified communication format without requiring a completely new complex protocol, as it leverages the existing speech data framework.

AI summary
[Object] To implement unified communication of vibration information while reducing data communication traffic. [Solution] Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a file generation unit configured to generate a file including speech waveform data and vibration waveform data. The file generation unit cuts out waveform data in a to-be-synthesized band from first speech data, synthesizes waveform data extracted from a synthesizing band of vibration data with the to-be-synthesized band to generate second speech data, and encodes the second speech data to generate the file.
