==ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CONVERTING NUMBER OF AUDIO CHANNELS, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE OPERATING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18101889 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CONVERTING NUMBER OF AUDIO CHANNELS, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE OPERATING METHOD

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes an electronic device that includes an Application Processor (AP) with a CPU and an audio processing unit. The audio processing unit receives an audio stream of M channels from the CPU and converts it into an N-channel audio stream, which is different from the original M-channel stream. The N-channel audio stream is then outputted through an output device.

* The electronic device has an audio processing unit that can convert an audio stream from one channel configuration to another.
* The audio processing unit can receive an audio stream of M channels and convert it into an N-channel audio stream.
* The N-channel audio stream is outputted through an output device.
* The device can detect a connection with an external electronic device through an audio output interface.
* Based on information received from the CPU, the device can determine whether to stop converting the M-channel audio stream into the N-channel audio stream.
* If the determination is to stop the conversion, the device can transmit the M-channel audio stream to the external electronic device via the audio output interface.

Potential applications of this technology:
* This technology can be used in audio devices such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops to provide flexibility in channel configurations.
* It can be used in audio production and editing software to convert audio streams between different channel configurations.
* It can be used in audio conferencing systems to adapt the audio stream to different speaker setups.

Problems solved by this technology:
* This technology solves the problem of limited compatibility between audio devices with different channel configurations.
* It allows for seamless transmission of audio streams between devices with different channel configurations.
* It provides flexibility in adapting audio streams to different speaker setups.

Benefits of this technology:
* It enhances the compatibility and interoperability of audio devices.
* It simplifies the process of transmitting audio streams between devices with different channel configurations.
* It provides users with the flexibility to adapt audio streams to their specific needs and preferences.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An electronic device includes: an Application Processor (AP) including a CPU; and an audio processing unit configured to: receive an audio stream of M channels from the CPU, convert the M-channel audio stream into an N-channel audio stream, the N-channel being different from the M-channel, output the N-channel audio stream through an output device. The audio processing unit is further configured to: detect a connection with the external electronic device through an audio output interface; determine whether to stop the converting the M-channel audio stream into the N-channel audio stream, based on information received from the CPU; and transmit, via the audio output interface, the M-channel audio stream to the external electronic device in response to the determination of stopping the converting the M-channel audio stream into the N-channel audio stream.
