Solution Overview

Problem

In conference systems with diverse terminal capabilities, the existing voice data transmission methods require multiple channels for each speaker, leading to resource inefficiency and quality issues, especially with a large number of participants, causing noise and network traffic.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that transmit voice data using a reduced number of channels, determining the type of terminals to allocate channels accordingly, allowing first-type terminals to receive voice data through specific channels and second-type terminals to receive voice data through a single channel, while managing channels based on vocal intensity and speaker identification capabilities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple transmission channels are created for each speaker, then voice data can be transmitted to all terminals, but system resources are significantly consumed and noise increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoice data transmission completenessVSAvoidsystem resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments voice data transmission by terminal type, creating separate transmission paths for first-type terminals (which require speaker identification) and second-type terminals (which do not require speaker identification). This segmentation allows the system to use fewer channels overall while still meeting the specific requirements of each terminal type, thereby reducing system resource consumption while maintaining transmission completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a unified transmission system that can handle both first-type and second-type terminals through a single set of channels. The server determines terminal types and routes voice data appropriately, making the channel system universal and multi-functional. This eliminates the need to create separate channel sets for different terminal types, reducing resource consumption while ensuring all terminals receive appropriate voice data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If multiple transmission channels are created for each speaker, then all voice data can be transmitted, but transmission delays occur and quality degrades

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoice data transmission completenessVSAvoidvoice data transmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting transmission based on terminal type capabilities, the system reduces the total number of channels required. Fewer channels mean less network traffic and reduced transmission delays. First-type terminals receive voice data with speaker identification information, while second-type terminals receive voice data without such overhead, optimizing transmission speed for each terminal type while maintaining completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If multiple transmission channels are created for each speaker, then voice data can be transmitted to all terminals, but the system becomes complex and difficult to manage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoice data transmission completenessVSAvoidchannel management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal channel management system that handles both first-type and second-type terminals through a single set of channels. The server automatically determines terminal types and routes voice data accordingly, eliminating the need for complex separate channel management for different terminal types. This universal approach significantly reduces system complexity while ensuring all terminals receive appropriate voice data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates automatic terminal type determination and channel selection capabilities. The server automatically identifies terminal types and selects appropriate transmission channels without requiring manual configuration or complex management procedures. This self-service mechanism reduces operational complexity and makes the system easier to manage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A method for transmitting voice data is provided. The method may include receiving voice data of a particular speaker from a voice data collection server; determining whether destination terminals are first-type terminals; and based on a determination that the destination terminals are the first-type terminals, transmitting the received voice data to the destination terminals through a channel corresponding to the particular speaker, from among a plurality of predefined channels for the destination terminals.
