Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional microphones are used in video conferences with many participants, then the system can capture audio from the space, but it cannot accurately identify the sound source location and corresponding individual

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound source location identification accuracyVSAvoidaudio and video control system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines audio information acquisition and video information acquisition into a unified audio and video control system. The system integrates microphone arrays for audio capture with cameras for video capture, and uses a centralized control module to process both audio attributes (direction of arrival, sound pressure level) and video attributes (character position, image proportion) to identify the corresponding relationship between sound sources and individuals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an audio and video control system as an intermediary that processes audio information and video information separately before correlating them. The system uses audio attributes including direction of arrival and sound pressure level as intermediate parameters to match with video attributes such as character position and image proportion, thereby identifying the sound source location without requiring direct complex interaction between microphones and camera targets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If the system monitors all participants in real-time, then it can identify sound sources accurately, but the time consumption for processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound source identification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by focusing processing resources on the most relevant audio and video data. Instead of uniformly processing all audio signals and video frames with equal complexity, the system prioritizes analysis of audio attributes (direction of arrival, sound pressure level) and video attributes (character position, image proportion) based on their relevance to sound source identification, reducing unnecessary computational overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters used for sound source identification from comprehensive multi-dimensional analysis to focused analysis of key parameters. By utilizing specific audio attributes (direction of arrival, sound pressure level) and video attributes (character position, image proportion) as primary identification parameters, the system achieves accurate sound source localization with reduced processing time compared to analyzing all possible audio and video parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If the microphone system is designed for fixed positions, then the structure is simple, but it cannot adapt to different spatial environments and moving participants

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespatial environment adaptabilityVSAvoidmicrophone system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamics by enabling the audio and video control system to adapt to changing spatial environments and moving participants. The system continuously monitors audio attributes including direction of arrival and sound pressure level, and video attributes including character position and image proportion, and dynamically adjusts its processing to track moving sound sources and maintain accurate identification regardless of participant movement or environmental changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal audio and video control system that can function in various spatial environments and configurations. The system uses multiple audio attributes (direction of arrival, sound pressure level) and video attributes (character position, image proportion) that can be applied across different meeting room layouts, participant arrangements, and environmental conditions, making the system versatile without requiring environment-specific customization.

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