Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless speaker systems require manual configuration by users for setting up and managing speaker parameters across multiple speakers, which is inconvenient and affects user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method where a mobile terminal transmits a parameter configuration request to a server with a scene type combination of wireless speakers, receives a speaker parameter configuration record, and performs configuration on the speakers using this record, which includes volume and sound effect parameters, thereby automating the setting process without user intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual configuration is used for speaker parameters, then users can customize each parameter individually, but the configuration process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeaker parameter configurationVSAvoidconfiguration time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring speaker parameters according to different scene types (living room, bedroom, kitchen, etc.) before the user needs them. The server stores multiple sets of pre-configured parameters for various scenarios, so when a user selects a scene type, the corresponding parameters are automatically applied without requiring manual configuration of each parameter individually.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements parameter changes by switching between different sets of pre-configured parameters based on the selected scene type. Instead of allowing users to manually adjust each parameter (volume, sound effect, equalization, etc.), the system changes all parameters simultaneously by selecting the appropriate pre-configured set for the given scene, thereby simplifying the configuration process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If automated configuration is implemented, then configuration time is reduced, but the system complexity increases due to server involvement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration speedVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the user terminal and the speaker system. The server stores and manages multiple sets of pre-configured speaker parameters for different scene types. When configuration is needed, the user terminal communicates with the server to obtain the appropriate parameter set, which is then applied to the speaker system. This intermediary approach automates the configuration process while distributing the complexity to the server rather than the user terminal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple speaker parameters need to be configured, then comprehensive control is achieved, but the number of configuration steps increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter control rangeVSAvoidconfiguration steps
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple individual parameter configurations into a single unified scene type selection. Instead of requiring users to configure volume, sound effect, equalization, and other parameters separately, the system combines all these parameters into pre-configured sets associated with different scene types. Selecting one scene type automatically applies all relevant parameters simultaneously, thereby maintaining comprehensive control while reducing the number of configuration steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a speaker parameter configuration method and a mobile terminal. The method includes: transmitting a parameter configuration request containing a scene type combination of wireless speakers of a wireless speaker system; receiving a parameter configuration response sent from the server in response to the parameter configuration request, wherein the parameter configuration response contains a speaker parameter configuration record of the wireless speaker system matched with the scene type combination; and performing parameter configuration on the wireless speakers of the wireless speaker system through the use of the speaker parameter configuration record received. Convenience of speaker parameter configuration of the mobile terminal can be enhanced and user experience can be improved.
