Voice Record Marking via Pattern Input for Audio Retrieval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in intuitively retrieving specific portions of recorded voice files during audio recording due to the lack of intuitive methods for marking and retrieving relevant segments, making it burdensome to recall desired content later.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a storage unit, controller, and input unit that allows users to input a specific pattern during audio recording, which is reflected in the recording information to mark desired time points, enabling easy retrieval of marked segments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users manually take notes of recording times for desired portions, then retrieval accuracy is improved, but operation complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects and marks time points based on user input patterns during recording, eliminating the need for manual note-taking. The recording device autonomously processes the marking function that would otherwise require user intervention, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining retrieval accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical note-taking with an automated electronic marking system. The controller automatically records time point information based on detected input patterns, substituting the manual process with an automated electronic mechanism that achieves the same retrieval accuracy with less operational complexity.
2Measurement precision
If users manually record time points for desired portions, then retrieval capability is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary marking of time points automatically during the recording process itself, rather than requiring post-recording manual note-taking. By completing the marking action in advance during recording, the system eliminates the time-consuming step of manually recording time points after the recording is complete.
Solution Approach 2:
The recording device autonomously performs the time point marking function during recording, eliminating the need for separate manual note-taking operations. This self-service approach integrates the marking function into the recording process itself, thereby reducing overall time consumption while maintaining retrieval capability.
3Ease of operation
If intuitive marking methods are provided for audio retrieval, then ease of retrieval is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The input unit and controller serve multiple functions: they detect various input patterns from users, automatically mark time points, store marking information, and enable retrieval operations. By making these components multi-functional, the system achieves intuitive retrieval capabilities without proportionally increasing overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses existing input units and controllers to perform the marking and retrieval functions, rather than adding separate dedicated hardware. The input unit detects user patterns and the controller processes marking information using its existing capabilities, thereby achieving enhanced retrieval functionality without significant increases in device complexity.
