ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SYNCHRONIZING OUTPUT OF AUDIO AND VIDEO AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18297181 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SYNCHRONIZING OUTPUT OF AUDIO AND VIDEO AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device and a control method for synchronizing audio and video outputs. The device includes memory, display circuitry, audio circuitry, and a processor. The processor is connected to the memory, display component, audio component, and feedback circuitry. It transmits signals related to video and audio to the feedback circuitry and receives a feedback signal. Based on this feedback signal, the processor calculates the time difference between the switching of voltage levels in the video and audio signals. It then adjusts the output timing of the audio or video based on this time difference.

  • The electronic device synchronizes audio and video outputs.
  • It includes memory, display circuitry, audio circuitry, and a processor.
  • The processor transmits video and audio signals to the feedback circuitry.
  • It receives a feedback signal and calculates the time difference between the switching of voltage levels in the video and audio signals.
  • The processor adjusts the output timing of the audio or video based on this time difference.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Media playback devices such as televisions, smartphones, and tablets can benefit from synchronized audio and video outputs.
  • Video conferencing systems can provide better user experience with synchronized audio and video.
  • Gaming consoles can enhance gameplay by ensuring audio and video synchronization.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Audio and video synchronization issues can be resolved, preventing delays or mismatch between the two.
  • Users can enjoy a seamless multimedia experience without any noticeable lag between audio and video.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user experience with synchronized audio and video outputs.
  • Enhanced audio-visual quality in media playback and video conferencing.
  • Better gameplay experience in gaming consoles with accurate audio and video synchronization.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device and a control method for synchronizing audio and video outputs are disclosed. The electronic device includes: at least one memory, at least one display component including display circuitry, at least one audio component including audio circuitry, and at least one processor electrically connected to at least some of the memory, the display component, and the audio component. The processor is electrically connected to a feedback circuitry and configured to transmit a first signal related to video and a second signal related to audio to the feedback circuitry. The processor is configured to obtain, based on a feedback signal received from the feedback circuitry, a time difference in between a first time point at which a voltage level of the first signal is switched, and a second time point at which a voltage level of the second signal is switched. The processor is configured to control an output timing of the audio or the video based on the time difference.
