ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH AUDIO SYSTEM TESTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240087442 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH AUDIO SYSTEM TESTING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with an antenna for wireless signal transmission, an audio output system, and a processing system to determine audio output performance.

  • The electronic device includes an enclosure, antenna, audio output system, and processing system.
  • The antenna transmits wireless signals to determine the device's location.
  • The audio output system produces audible outputs.
  • The processing system assesses audio output performance based on the antenna's electrical response to an audio signal.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in:

  • GPS tracking devices
  • Smart speakers with audio quality monitoring

Problems Solved

This technology addresses issues such as:

  • Ensuring accurate audio output in electronic devices
  • Improving location tracking capabilities

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Enhanced audio output performance
  • Reliable wireless signal transmission for location tracking

Potential Commercial Applications

Some potential commercial applications of this technology are:

  • Smart home devices
  • Wearable technology for fitness tracking

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be:

  • Audio systems with self-diagnostic capabilities

Unanswered Questions

How does the processing system determine the audio output performance criteria?

The processing system likely compares the actual audio output with predetermined standards to assess performance.

What happens if the audio output system fails the performance criteria?

If the audio output system fails the criteria, the processing system may trigger an alert or notification for maintenance or repair.


Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic device may include an enclosure, an antenna within the enclosure and configured to transmit a wireless signal to a remote electronic device to allow a location of the electronic device to be determined, an audio output system configured to produce an audible output, and a processing system within the enclosure and configured to determine, based on an electrical response induced in the antenna, whether the audio output system fails an audio output performance criteria when provided with an audio signal.
