METHODS AND USER INTERFACES FOR MONITORING SOUND REDUCTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240281204 titled 'METHODS AND USER INTERFACES FOR MONITORING SOUND REDUCTION

The present disclosure pertains to user interfaces and techniques for managing and visualizing sound reduction using a computer system. In some embodiments, the computer system displays a representation of a noise level, showing a first indication of the noise level at one time and a second indication at a different time, based on a sound reduction display option. If the sound reduction display option is not enabled, the system indicates the noise level at the first time.

Computer system displays noise level representation
Shows first and second indications of noise level at different times
Sound reduction display option enables visualization
Indicates noise level at first time if display option is not enabled

Potential Applications: - Noise reduction in office environments - Monitoring sound levels in public spaces - Enhancing audio quality in recording studios

Problems Solved: - Difficulty in visualizing changes in noise levels over time - Lack of user-friendly interfaces for managing sound reduction - Inefficient monitoring of noise levels in various settings

Benefits: - Improved user experience in managing sound reduction - Enhanced visualization of noise levels for better decision-making - Increased efficiency in monitoring and controlling noise levels

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Sound Reduction Management System for Various Settings" This technology can be utilized in: - Smart home devices - Audio equipment and software - Workplace productivity tools

Questions about Sound Reduction Management System: 1. How does the system determine the noise level at different times? The system uses sensors or input devices to measure noise levels and display them accordingly.

2. Can the user customize the display options for sound reduction? Yes, the user can enable or disable specific display options based on their preferences.

Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces and techniques for managing and visualizing sound reduction using a computer system. in accordance with some embodiments, the computer system displays a representation of a noise level including, in accordance with a sound reduction display option being enabled, a first indication of a noise level at a first time and a second indication of a noise level at a time different from the first time. in accordance with some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the sound reduction display option is not enabled, an indication of a noise level at the first time that indicates the noise level.
