==Device and Method for Playing Audio at a Connected Audio Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240022672 titled 'Device and Method for Playing Audio at a Connected Audio Device

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a printing device that has a memory to store audio files related to printing device events. It also has a communications interface to connect with an audio device. The processor in the device is responsible for retrieving the audio file corresponding to a printing device event from the memory and transmitting it to the audio device via the communications interface.

* The printing device has a memory to store audio files for different printing device events.
* It has a communications interface to connect with an audio device.
* The processor retrieves the audio file corresponding to a printing device event from the memory.
* The retrieved audio file is transmitted to the audio device through the communications interface.

Potential Applications:
* Enhancing user experience by providing audio feedback for printing device events.
* Assisting visually impaired users by providing audio notifications for printing device events.
* Enabling remote monitoring and troubleshooting of printing device events through audio feedback.

Problems Solved:
* Lack of audio feedback for printing device events.
* Difficulty for visually impaired users to receive notifications about printing device events.
* Limited ability to remotely monitor and troubleshoot printing device events.

Benefits:
* Improved user experience and convenience.
* Accessibility for visually impaired users.
* Enhanced remote monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

an example printing device comprises: a memory configured to store audio files corresponding to printing device events; a communications interface configured to communicate with an audio device; a processor interconnected with the memory and the communications interface, the processor configured to: responsive to a printing device event, retrieve, from the memory, an audio file corresponding to the printing device event; and transmit via the communications interface, the audio file to the audio device.
