Solution Overview

Problem

Current voice processing methods for network voice communication apply a uniform processing approach across different application scenarios, leading to inadequate voice quality in high-demand scenarios and resource wastage in low-demand scenarios, as they fail to adapt to specific requirements.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that detect the current application scenario of voice processing, determine the specific voice quality and network requirements, and configure corresponding voice processing parameters to tailor voice processing accordingly, optimizing resource usage while meeting quality standards.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a uniform voice processing method is applied across all scenarios, then the system is simple to implement, but voice quality requirements cannot be met in high-demand scenarios and resources are wasted in low-demand scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different application scenariosVSAvoidcomplexity of voice processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic voice processing by detecting the current application scenario and automatically adjusting processing parameters accordingly. The system transitions from static uniform processing to dynamic adaptive processing, where the processing strength and methods change based on real-time scenario detection, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes processing parameters (such as noise suppression level, echo cancellation strength, encoding bitrate) based on detected application scenarios. By adjusting parameters dynamically rather than maintaining fixed uniform settings, the system achieves scenario-specific optimization without requiring completely separate processing systems for each scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If high-quality voice processing is applied in all scenarios, then voice quality requirement is met, but system resources are wasted in scenarios with low quality requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoice qualityVSAvoidsystem resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing different levels of voice processing quality matched to specific application scenarios. High-quality processing (including full echo cancellation, noise suppression, and advanced encoding) is applied only when needed, while low-quality processing is used for scenarios where basic communication suffices, thereby optimizing the balance between voice quality and resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial processing action by applying only the necessary level of voice processing for each scenario. Instead of always applying full processing, the system selectively applies processing steps based on scenario requirements, avoiding excessive processing in low-demand scenarios and reducing resource waste.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Loss of energy

If low-quality voice processing is applied in all scenarios, then system resources are saved, but voice quality requirements cannot be met in high-demand scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem resource consumptionVSAvoidvoice quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms by detecting the current application scenario and using this information to adjust processing parameters. The system continuously monitors scenario conditions and adapts processing strength accordingly, ensuring that sufficient processing is applied to meet quality requirements when needed while conserving resources when quality demands are lower.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

4Productivity

If scenario detection and adaptive parameter configuration are implemented, then voice processing is optimized for specific scenarios, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of voice processingVSAvoidcomplexity of processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the voice processing system into distinct functional modules: scenario detection module, parameter configuration module, and voice processing execution module. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function independently, making the overall complex system more manageable and maintainable while achieving scenario-specific optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
