Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless audio systems require manual user intervention to reset slave devices from an out-of-service state to an in-service state, which is inconvenient and time-consuming.

Innovation Solution

A wireless audio service automatic resetting method where a slave device automatically determines whether to switch to an in-service state by requesting and receiving the latest audio service group information from a master device, and performs in-service recovery by determining the appropriate connection destination based on its service function and network configuration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual resetting of slave devices is required, then service reliability is maintained through user control, but ease of operation deteriorates due to inconvenient user intervention

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidservice reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The slave device automatically determines its own service state and performs self-resetting by requesting latest audio service group information from the master device and autonomously switching between in-service and out-of-service states based on the received information, eliminating the need for manual user intervention while maintaining service reliability through automated status verification

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Extent of automation

If automatic resetting is implemented, then ease of operation improves by eliminating user intervention, but device complexity increases due to automated determination logic

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveextent of automationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The slave device implements automatic resetting by receiving feedback information (latest audio service group information) from the master device and autonomously determining whether to switch service states based on this feedback, achieving high automation through a simple feedback-driven decision mechanism that does not require complex local processing logic

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The master device maintains and provides the latest audio service group information in advance, enabling slave devices to automatically determine their service state upon receiving this pre-prepared information, thereby achieving automatic resetting without requiring complex real-time analysis or decision-making logic in the slave devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If manual resetting is required, then device complexity remains low, but loss of time increases due to user intervention requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveproductivityVSAvoidloss of time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The slave device automatically performs service recovery by requesting and processing latest audio service group information from the master device, enabling rapid self-resetting that eliminates the time users would otherwise spend on manual intervention and significantly improves system productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The master device maintains updated audio service group information ready for distribution, allowing slave devices to immediately recover service by simply requesting this pre-prepared information, thereby achieving rapid service restoration without time-consuming manual configuration or complex recovery procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A wireless audio service automatic resetting method and a wireless audio system are proposed. In the wireless audio service automatic resetting method and the wireless audio system thereof that are for a slave device, the slave device requests and receives latest audio service group information from a master device by connecting to a wireless network, and performs a corresponding operation by determining whether to recover to an in-service state on the basis of the latest audio service group information. Accordingly, the slave device may be conveniently recovered to the in-service state again without user's input, thereby receiving provision of a desired audio service.
