METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SOUND OUTPUT OF AUDIO REPRODUCING DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE PERFORMING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18219219 titled 'METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SOUND OUTPUT OF AUDIO REPRODUCING DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE PERFORMING THE SAME
The patent application describes a method for controlling the sound output of an audio reproducing device operating in simultaneous listening mode with another device.
- Detect a conversation request from the second audio reproducing device.
- Control the first audio reproducing device to exit simultaneous listening mode and enter conversation mode.
- Change the sound output setting of the first audio reproducing device in response to the conversation request.
- Output content sound based on the changed setting while in conversation mode.
Potential Applications: - Home entertainment systems - Multi-room audio setups - Conference call systems
Problems Solved: - Seamless transition between listening and conversation modes - Efficient control of sound output in multi-device setups
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience - Improved communication in group settings - Customizable sound settings for different modes

Original Abstract Submitted
A method of controlling a sound output of a first audio reproducing device that is operable in a simultaneous listening mode with a second audio reproducing device such that, in the simultaneous listening mode, each of the first audio reproducing device and the second audio reproducing device operate to output content sound based on an audio content signal streamed from a corresponding content providing device through a communication connection, according to their respective sound output settings, the method including detecting a conversation request from the second audio reproducing device; controlling the first audio reproducing device to exit the simultaneous listening mode, enter a conversation mode, and change the sound output setting of the first audio reproducing device, in response to detecting the conversation request; and controlling the first audio reproducing device to output the content sound based on the changed sound output setting while operating in the conversation mode.
