Solution Overview

Problem

Current voice data processing systems in vehicles face challenges in effectively distinguishing and filtering out noise from human voice data, particularly in scenarios involving synthetic voice interruptions, leading to suboptimal voice quality and recognition accuracy.

Innovation Solution

The method involves invoking different denoising algorithms based on the presence of a synthetic voice interruption signal, with one algorithm highlighting original voice features when no interruption is detected and another highlighting human voice features when interruptions occur, thereby maintaining voice quality and improving recognition accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single denoising algorithm is used to process all voice data, then the processing flow is simple, but the voice quality and recognition accuracy deteriorate in scenarios with synthetic voice interruptions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing flow complexityVSAvoidvoice quality and recognition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the voice data processing into two distinct paths based on the presence of synthetic voice interruptions. A first denoising algorithm processes normal voice data, while a second denoising algorithm processes data with synthetic voice interruptions. This segmentation allows each algorithm to be optimized for its specific scenario, improving voice quality and recognition accuracy without significantly increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic switching between different denoising algorithms based on the detection of synthetic voice interruptions. The system dynamically adjusts the processing approach by detecting interruption signals and selecting the appropriate algorithm, allowing the processing flow to adapt to changing conditions while maintaining reasonable complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Manufacturing precision

If different denoising algorithms are used for different scenarios, then voice quality and recognition accuracy improve, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoice quality and recognition accuracyVSAvoidprocessing flow complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary component - the detection module that identifies synthetic voice interruption signals. This intermediary acts as a gateway that routes voice data to the appropriate denoising algorithm, managing the complexity of having multiple algorithms while maintaining the benefits of scenario-specific processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the processing parameters by selecting different algorithms based on the presence of interruption signals. This parameter-based approach allows the system to maintain simplicity in the processing flow structure while achieving improved voice quality through parameter-driven algorithm selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If complex denoising processing is applied to all voice data, then recognition accuracy improves, but computational time delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition accuracyVSAvoidcomputational time delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by using a simpler first denoising algorithm for normal voice data that does not contain synthetic voice interruptions. Only when interruption signals are detected does the system apply the more complex second denoising algorithm. This partial application of complex processing reduces overall computational time delay while maintaining recognition accuracy where it is most needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
