PLAYBACK DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD AND CONTROL APPARATUS THEREFOR, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18431593 titled 'PLAYBACK DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD AND CONTROL APPARATUS THEREFOR, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a playback device with a housing, audio player, sound insulation cover, target detection apparatus, and driving mechanism. The device can rotate the sound insulation cover to direct sound towards a target direction.
- Sound hole on the housing
- Audio player in the sound insulation cover
- Target detection apparatus for detecting target direction
- Driving mechanism to rotate the sound insulation cover
- Control method for the playback device
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in smart speakers, home entertainment systems, and public address systems to automatically adjust sound direction based on the location of the listener or target.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of sound dispersion in a specific direction, ensuring that the audio output is directed towards the intended audience or target.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved sound quality for listeners, enhanced user experience, and increased efficiency in delivering audio content to specific locations.
Potential Commercial Applications
- "Automatic Sound Direction Adjustment Technology for Enhanced Audio Experience in Smart Speakers and Public Address Systems"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be a patent for a similar technology used in rotating cameras to track moving objects or individuals.
What is the cost of manufacturing this playback device?
The cost of manufacturing the playback device will depend on factors such as the quality of materials used, complexity of the driving mechanism, and volume of production. A detailed cost analysis would be needed to determine the exact manufacturing cost.
How does the target detection apparatus determine the target direction?
The target detection apparatus likely uses sensors or cameras to detect the position of the target relative to the playback device. This information is then used to control the driving mechanism to adjust the sound direction accordingly.
Original Abstract Submitted
A playback device including a housing, an audio player, a sound insulation cover, a target detection apparatus, and a driving mechanism. A sound hole is disposed on the housing, the sound insulation cover is disposed in the housing, the audio player is disposed in the sound insulation cover, a sound outlet is disposed on the sound insulation cover, the target detection apparatus is configured to detect a target direction, the driving mechanism is connected to the sound insulation cover, and in a case that the sound outlet does not face the target direction, the driving mechanism is controlled to start, and the driving mechanism drives the sound insulation cover to rotate, so that the sound outlet faces the target direction. This application discloses a control method for a playback device, a control apparatus for a playback device, and a computer-readable storage medium.
