ELECTRONIC DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND SOUND OUTPUT CONTROL SYSTEM OF THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18379199 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND SOUND OUTPUT CONTROL SYSTEM OF THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device and a control method for managing sound output in the presence of a voice recognition device. The electronic device includes a communication device, a storage device, and a controller. The communication device detects the presence of a voice recognition device nearby, while the storage device stores the identification information of the detected voice recognition device. The controller compares the identification information received from the voice recognition device with the stored information and controls the electronic device to stop outputting sound if the identification information matches.
- The electronic device can detect the presence of a voice recognition device within a specified distance.
- It stores the identification information of the detected voice recognition device.
- The controller compares the received identification information with the stored information.
- If the identification information matches, the electronic device stops outputting sound.
Potential Applications:
- This technology can be applied in smart homes where voice recognition devices are used for controlling various electronic devices.
- It can be used in office spaces where voice recognition devices are used for voice commands and the electronic devices need to adjust their sound output accordingly.
Problems Solved:
- The technology solves the problem of sound interference between an electronic device and a voice recognition device located in the same space.
- It ensures that the electronic device stops outputting sound when a voice command is received by the voice recognition device, preventing overlapping audio.
Benefits:
- Improved user experience by eliminating sound interference between devices.
- Seamless integration of voice recognition devices and electronic devices in the same space.
- Enhanced control and automation capabilities in smart homes and office environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided are an electronic device, a control method thereof, and a sound output control system of the electronic device, for example, a technique for controlling sound that is output from an electronic device located in the same space as a voice recognition device. The electronic device according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes: a communication device comprising communication circuitry configured to detect a voice recognition device within a specified distance of the electronic device; a storage device comprising a memory configured to store identification information of the detected voice recognition device; and a controller configured to compare, based on the communication device receiving identification information from a server of a voice recognition device that has received a voice command from a user, the received identification information with the identification information stored in the storage device, and to control, based on the controller determining that the received identification information is identical to the stored identification information, the electronic device to stop outputting sound.
