AUDIO REPRODUCTION DEVICE AND AUDIO REPRODUCTION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240034231 titled 'AUDIO REPRODUCTION DEVICE AND AUDIO REPRODUCTION METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an audio reproduction device and method that is connected to an external memory storing audio data series corresponding to audio phrases. The device also stores management information indicating the address at which each audio data series is stored. The device reads the audio data series from the external memory for each audio phrase and reproduces the audio in the order of reading.

  • The audio reproduction device is connected to an external memory storing audio data series and management information.
  • The device uses a serial interface for communication and registers to store the management information.
  • The reproduction control circuit reads the audio data series from the external memory based on the management information stored in the registers.
  • The audio is reproduced in the order of reading the audio data series for each audio phrase.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Audio playback devices such as MP3 players, smartphones, and portable music players.
  • Audio recording devices that can store and reproduce audio phrases.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient storage and retrieval of audio data series corresponding to audio phrases.
  • Simplified reproduction control by reading the audio data series in the order of the audio phrases.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved audio playback experience with organized and sequential reproduction of audio phrases.
  • Efficient use of storage space by storing audio data series in an external memory.
  • Simplified control and management of audio reproduction through the use of management information and registers.


Original Abstract Submitted

an audio reproduction device and method are provided. the audio reproduction device is connected to an external memory storing audio data series respectively corresponding to audio phrases and storing management information indicating an address at which each of the plurality of audio data series is stored, and perform reproduction of audio by reading the audio data series from the external memory for each audio phrase. the audio reproduction device includes a serial interface performing serial communication, registers storing the management information corresponding to the audio data series of at least two audio phrases transmitted from the external memory via the serial interface, and a reproduction control circuit reading the audio data series from the external memory via the serial interface for each audio phrase based on the management information stored in the registers and reproducing audio in the order of reading the audio data series for each audio phrase.
