COMPUTING DEVICE NOISE CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18560521 titled 'COMPUTING DEVICE NOISE CONTROL
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a device with sensors that can detect the type of surface it is on and the proximity of people around it. The device adjusts its noise output based on these detections.
- The device has a surface-type sensor to identify the surface it is placed on.
- It also includes a proximity sensor to detect the presence of multiple individuals near the device.
- The processor in the device increases noise output when placed on a soft surface and decreases noise output when multiple people are nearby.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Surface-type sensor to detect the type of surface the device is on.
- Proximity sensor to identify the presence of multiple individuals near the device.
- Processor that adjusts noise output based on surface type and proximity of people.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in smart home devices, security systems, and public spaces to adjust noise levels based on the environment.

Original Abstract Submitted
An example device comprises: a surface-type sensor to detect a type of surface on which the device is located; a proximity sensor; and a processor. The processor is to: in response to detecting, using the surface-type sensor, that the device is located on a soft-type surface, increase noise output of the device; and, in response to detecting, using the proximity sensor, that a plurality of persons are proximal the device, decrease the noise output of the device.
