==ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD, IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE, FOR DETERMINING WHETHER OBJECT IS NEAR - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18486162 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD, IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE, FOR DETERMINING WHETHER OBJECT IS NEAR

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an electronic device that includes an application processor with an audio processing module and a voice recognition module, a microphone, a speaker, and a sensor hub. When the audio processing module is in a sleep state, the sensor hub generates an ultrasonic signal and provides it to the speaker, which outputs a signal including the ultrasonic signal. The device also receives a second signal from the voice recognition module through the microphone and determines if an object is near the device based on the first and second signals.

* The electronic device includes an application processor with audio processing and voice recognition modules.
* It has a microphone, a speaker, and a sensor hub.
* The sensor hub generates an ultrasonic signal and provides it to the speaker.
* The speaker outputs a signal that includes the ultrasonic signal.
* The device receives a second signal from the voice recognition module through the microphone.
* It determines if an object is near the device based on the first and second signals.

Potential Applications:
* Object detection: The device can determine if an object is near it, which can be useful for applications such as proximity sensing or security systems.
* Voice recognition: The device includes a voice recognition module, which can be used for voice commands or voice-controlled applications.
* Audio processing: The device has an audio processing module, which can be used for tasks like noise cancellation or audio enhancement.

Problems Solved:
* Object detection: The device solves the problem of detecting nearby objects by using an ultrasonic signal and analyzing the received signals.
* Voice recognition: The device solves the problem of accurately recognizing voice inputs by including a dedicated voice recognition module.
* Audio processing: The device solves the problem of processing audio signals efficiently by including an audio processing module within the application processor.

Benefits:
* Improved user experience: The device's ability to detect objects and accurately recognize voice inputs can enhance user interactions and make the device more intuitive to use.
* Enhanced functionality: The inclusion of audio processing and voice recognition modules expands the capabilities of the device, allowing for a wider range of applications.
* Efficient signal processing: The device's integration of the audio processing module within the application processor ensures efficient processing of audio signals, leading to improved performance.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An electronic device, according to various embodiments, includes: an application processor including an audio processing module and a voice recognition module; a mic; a speaker; and a sensor hub. While the audio processing module included in the application processor is in a sleep state, the sensor hub generates an ultrasonic signal and provides the ultrasonic signal to the speaker so that the speaker outputs a first signal including the ultrasonic signal therethrough; receives, from the voice recognition module, a second signal inputted through the mic; and determines whether an object is near the electronic device, at least on the basis of the first signal and the second signal.
