Device and Method for Playing Audio at a Connected Audio Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240022672 titled 'Device and Method for Playing Audio at a Connected Audio Device

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a printing device that has a memory to store audio files related to printing device events. It also has a communications interface to connect with an audio device. The processor in the device is responsible for retrieving the audio file corresponding to a printing device event from the memory and transmitting it to the audio device via the communications interface.

  • The printing device has a memory to store audio files for different printing device events.
  • It has a communications interface to connect with an audio device.
  • The processor retrieves the audio file corresponding to a printing device event from the memory.
  • The retrieved audio file is transmitted to the audio device through the communications interface.

Potential Applications:

  • Enhancing user experience by providing audio feedback for printing device events.
  • Assisting visually impaired users by providing audio notifications for printing device events.
  • Enabling remote monitoring and troubleshooting of printing device events through audio feedback.

Problems Solved:

  • Lack of audio feedback for printing device events.
  • Difficulty for visually impaired users to receive notifications about printing device events.
  • Limited ability to remotely monitor and troubleshoot printing device events.

Benefits:

  • Improved user experience and convenience.
  • Accessibility for visually impaired users.
  • Enhanced remote monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.


Original Abstract Submitted

an example printing device comprises: a memory configured to store audio files corresponding to printing device events; a communications interface configured to communicate with an audio device; a processor interconnected with the memory and the communications interface, the processor configured to: responsive to a printing device event, retrieve, from the memory, an audio file corresponding to the printing device event; and transmit via the communications interface, the audio file to the audio device.
