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.
  • The environment of the audio signal is adjusted based on the measured vibration.

Potential Applications

  • Smartphones and tablets with improved audio quality.
  • Gaming devices with enhanced audio feedback.
  • Virtual reality headsets with more immersive sound experiences.
  • Wearable devices that provide audio notifications through vibrations.

Problems Solved

  • Limited audio quality in electronic devices with small speakers.
  • Lack of tactile feedback in audio devices.
  • Difficulty in creating immersive sound experiences in certain devices.
  • Inability to provide discreet audio notifications in wearable devices.

Benefits

  • Improved audio quality in electronic devices.
  • Enhanced user experience through tactile feedback.
  • More immersive sound experiences in various devices.
  • Discreet audio notifications in wearable devices.


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.
