Virtual Meeting Audio Selection and Biometric Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional virtual space and online meeting systems fail to accurately reproduce human conversations in real-world settings, as they allow unwanted sound sources to be heard by unintended participants, and lack mechanisms for reflecting biometric information and exchanging contact information.
Innovation Solution
The system includes selection means to output sound sources only to selected users, acquires and changes object graphics based on biometric information, and enables exchange of contact information among users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If sound sources are output to all users in communication, then all users can hear all conversations, but this fails to reproduce real-world conversation dynamics where users hear only selected sound sources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by allowing different sound sources to be directed to different users based on selection criteria. Each user receives customized sound output according to their selection, creating localized audio experiences rather than uniform distribution to all users.
Solution Approach 2:
The sound output system is segmented into individual controllable channels for each user-sound source pair. The patent divides the audio distribution into discrete selectable units, allowing independent control of which sound sources are output to which users.
2Reliability
If conventional systems output all sound sources to all users, then no selection mechanism is needed, but this creates unwanted sound exposure and fails to replicate real-world listening experiences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by allowing users to dynamically select and deselect sound sources during communication sessions. The system adapts sound output in real-time based on user selections, enabling flexible control over which conversations are heard.
Solution Approach 2:
The selection mechanism acts as an intermediary between sound sources and users. Rather than direct universal distribution, the system introduces a selection layer that mediates which sound sources reach which users, replicating real-world selective listening.
