ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AUDIO SIGNAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17859221 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AUDIO SIGNAL
Simplified Explanation
Abstract Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device and method for generating an audio signal. The device includes a display that can show visual information and an actuator that can make the display vibrate. A processor is connected to the actuator and the display. The processor applies a pilot signal to the actuator and measures the amount of vibration caused by the signal. Based on this measurement, the processor adjusts the environment of the audio signal.
- An electronic device with a vibrating display is provided.
- The device includes a processor that applies a pilot signal to the actuator.
- The processor measures the amount of vibration caused by the pilot signal.

Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device and method for generating an audio signal is provided. According to various example embodiments, an electronic device may include a display configured to depict visual information to the outside of the electronic device. The electronic device further includes an actuator to cause the display to vibrate. A processor is electrically connected to the actuator and the display. The processor applies a pilot signal to the actuator, and detects an amount of vibration of the display caused by applying the pilot signal. The processor sets an environment of the audio signal based on the amount of vibration of the display.
