Audio Output Method, Media File Recording Method, and Electronic Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18492185 titled 'Audio Output Method, Media File Recording Method, and Electronic Device

Simplified Explanation

Abstract

An audio output method is applied to an electronic device and includes: receiving audio output requests from M audio applications on the electronic device; selecting N target applications from the M audio applications; and outputting audio data of the N target applications, where M is greater than N. In this application, a quantity of target applications is limited.

Patent/Innovation Explanation

  • An audio output method for electronic devices is described.
  • The method involves receiving audio output requests from multiple audio applications on the device.
  • From these applications, a subset of target applications is selected.
  • The audio data of the selected target applications is then outputted.
  • The number of target applications is limited, meaning not all audio applications will have their audio data outputted.

Potential Applications

  • Mobile phones and tablets: This technology can be used to prioritize audio output from specific applications, such as music players or voice assistants, while muting or reducing the audio from other applications.
  • Gaming consoles: The method can be applied to prioritize game audio over background system sounds or other applications running in the background.
  • Smart speakers: This technology can be used to selectively output audio from specific applications, such as streaming services or voice-controlled applications, while ignoring audio from other sources.

Problems Solved

  • Audio prioritization: The method solves the problem of managing audio output from multiple applications by allowing the selection of specific target applications for audio output.
  • Audio interference: By limiting the number of target applications, the method helps prevent audio interference and ensures a more focused and controlled audio output experience.

Benefits

  • Customizable audio output: Users can prioritize audio from their preferred applications, enhancing their overall audio experience.
  • Improved audio management: The method simplifies the management of audio output from multiple applications, making it easier to control and adjust audio settings.
  • Enhanced user experience: By selectively outputting audio from specific applications, the method improves the user experience by reducing audio clutter and interference.
