AUDIO OUTPUT METHOD, DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18484529 titled 'AUDIO OUTPUT METHOD, DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for outputting audio of an application to a corresponding audio output device based on the screen where the application is located.

  • The method involves determining the screen where an application is located.
  • The audio of the application is then outputted to the audio output device corresponding to that screen.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Multi-screen setups where different applications are running on different screens.
  • Gaming environments where audio needs to be directed to specific output devices based on the game screen.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of:

  • Ensuring that audio is outputted to the correct device based on the screen where the application is located.
  • Simplifying the management of audio output in multi-screen setups.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved user experience by directing audio to the appropriate output device.
  • Streamlined audio management in complex computing environments.

Potential Commercial Applications

A potential commercial application of this technology could be:

  • Audio software for multi-screen setups in professional settings such as control rooms or command centers.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be:

  • Audio routing software that allows users to manually select output devices for different applications.

Unanswered Questions
