At the same time, the sound holes provided on the side wall of the housing in the rotation area corresponding to the speaker assembly ensure that after the speaker assembly is driven to rotate, the sound produced by the speaker assembly can also pass through the sound holes to the outside world and be heard by the user. Therefore, compared with the fixed sound emission direction of the speakers in the prior art, the sound effects heard by the user in different positions will also be different. The speaker in this solution drives the speaker assembly to rotate by the driving member so that the sound emission direction of the speaker can be adjusted to adapt to the position of the user. This ensures that the sound effects heard by the user will not be different when the user is in different positions, thereby improving the user experience.

[0044] Furthermore, the driving part and speaker assembly of the speaker in this solution are both arranged in the shell, so that when the speaker is adjusting the sound direction, only the speaker assembly located in the shell rotates, and the shell does not rotate accordingly. At this time, the shell of the speaker gives the same feeling to the user when the speaker is not adjusting the sound direction and when the sound direction is adjusted, which further improves the user's experience. At the same time, since the shell is fixed as a whole, the shell does not need to be split into a fixed part and a rotating part for accommodating the speaker assembly. This makes the overall strength of the shell relatively high, and at this time, the protective effect of the shell on the components located in the shell can be enhanced, which is conducive to ensuring the service life of the speaker and further improving the user's experience.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a speaker 100. In one embodiment of the present invention, the speaker 100 includes a housing 10, a speaker assembly 20, and a driver 30. The housing 10 defines a housing 11. The speaker assembly 20 is disposed within the housing 11 and faces a sidewall of the housing 10. The speaker assembly 20 is rotatable relative to the housing 10. The sidewall of the housing 10 defines a sound outlet 13 within a rotational region corresponding to the speaker assembly 20. The driver 30 is disposed within the housing 11 and is configured to drive the speaker assembly 20 to rotate.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, the housing 10 can be used to form a housing cavity 11 to accommodate the speaker assembly 20, the driver 30, and other components of the speaker 100, thereby allowing the various components of the speaker 100 to be assembled into a single unit. Furthermore, the housing 10 can also provide isolation and protection for the components located within the housing cavity 11, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the components located within the housing cavity 11. The housing 10 can be cylindrical, resulting in a more regular shape and facilitating easier processing and molding. Furthermore, the cylindrical housing 10 can have its side surfaces aligned, facilitating the placement of corresponding sound outlets 13 within the rotational area of ​​the side surfaces corresponding to the speaker assembly 20. Furthermore, this arrangement can also align the shape of the housing 10 with the motion trajectory of the speaker assembly 20 located within the housing cavity 11, allowing the two to be more compactly distributed, thereby reducing the overall volume of the speaker 100. In this case, the housing cavity 11 can be a cylindrical cavity. Of course, it should be noted that the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the housing 10 may also be a rectangular parallelepiped structure or other shaped structures. Furthermore, the housing 10 may include an upper shell 15 and a bottom cover 17. The upper shell 15 may be a cylindrical structure with one end open, and the bottom cover 17 covers the opening of the upper shell 15 and forms a receiving cavity 11 together with the upper shell 15. Since the structures of the upper shell 15 and the bottom cover 17 formed by splitting are relatively simple, and after each is processed, the receiving cavity 11 can be directly formed by assembling them together, thereby improving the convenience of processing and forming the housing 10. At this time, the sound outlet 13 can be set on the side wall surface of the upper shell 15. In order to ensure that the sound output of the speaker assembly 20 is relatively uniform at all locations in the circumferential direction, the number of the sound outlet holes 13 can be multiple, and the multiple sound outlet holes 13 can be evenly spaced around the rotation axis of the speaker assembly 20 on the side wall of the upper shell 15 of the housing 10. Furthermore, a plurality of sound holes 13 located at the same height on the side wall of the upper shell 15 of the housing 10 is defined as a group, and a plurality of groups may be provided at intervals on the upper shell 15 of the housing 10 in the up and down directions (the up and down directions defined when the speaker 100 is in a normal use state). In order to improve the convenience of processing and forming each sound hole 13, each sound hole 13 may be a circular hole so that the hole wall has consistency and is easy to process. Of course, it should be noted that the present application is not limited to this, and in other embodiments, the number of the sound hole 13 may also be one. At this time, the sound hole 13 may be a long strip-shaped hole opened along the circumference of the housing 10, so as to ensure that the speaker assembly 20 can transmit sound to the outside world through the sound hole 13 when it is rotated to different angular positions. The speaker assembly 20 can be used to emit sound, and transmit it to the outside world through the sound hole 13 on the housing 10 and be heard by the user.The speaker assembly 20 can be rotatably mounted on the housing 10, or it can be directly fixed to the driver 30, ensuring that the speaker assembly 20 can be fixedly mounted within the accommodating cavity 11. The speaker assembly 20 can rotate about an axis parallel to the vertical direction (defined as the vertical direction when the speaker 100 is in normal use) or parallel to other directions. The speaker assembly 20 can rotate within a range of 360°, or even within a range of 180°. In other words, the present application does not specifically limit the direction of the rotation axis of the speaker assembly 20 or the range of the rotation angle. It is sufficient to ensure that the speaker assembly 20 can rotate within the housing 10 and adapt to the user's position to produce sound. The driver 30 can be used to provide power to drive the speaker assembly 20 to rotate. The driver 30 can be directly fixed to the housing 10, or it can be mounted and fixed via an additional support structure, ensuring that the driver 30 can be fixedly mounted within the accommodating cavity 11. The specific type of the driving member 30 can be a motor, or a rotary cylinder, etc., as long as the driving member 30 can drive the speaker assembly 20 to rotate.

[0063] During use of the speaker 100 of the present invention, when a user is in different positions, the driver 30 of the speaker 100 can drive the speaker assembly 20 within the housing 10 to rotate relative to the housing 10, allowing the speaker assembly 20 to produce sound in the direction of the user. Furthermore, the sound outlet 13 provided on the sidewall of the housing 10, within the rotational area corresponding to the speaker assembly 20, ensures that after the speaker assembly 20 is driven to rotate, the sound emitted by the speaker assembly 20 can also be transmitted through the sound outlet 13 to the outside world and heard by the user. Therefore, compared to the fixed sound emission direction of the speaker 100 in the prior art, the sound effects heard by the user vary depending on their position. In this embodiment, the speaker 100 of the present invention can adjust the sound emission direction of the speaker 100 by driving the speaker assembly 20 to rotate, thereby aligning the sound with the user's position. This ensures that the sound effects heard by the user remain consistent regardless of their position, thereby improving the user experience.

[0064] Furthermore, the driving member 30 and the speaker assembly 20 of the speaker 100 in this solution are both arranged in the shell 10, so that when the speaker 100 adjusts the sound direction, only the speaker assembly 20 located in the shell 10 rotates, and the shell 10 does not rotate accordingly. At this time, the shell 10 of the speaker 100 gives the same feeling to the user when the speaker 100 does not adjust the sound direction and when the sound direction is adjusted, thereby further improving the user's experience. At the same time, since the shell 10 is fixed as a whole, the shell 10 does not need to be split into a fixed part and a rotating part for accommodating the speaker assembly 20. This makes the overall strength of the shell 10 relatively high, and at this time, the protective effect of the shell 10 on the components located in the shell 10 can be enhanced, which is conducive to ensuring the service life of the speaker 100 and further improving the user's experience.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the speaker 100 further includes a control panel 40 . The control panel 40 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 11 and is electrically connected to the speaker assembly 20 and the driving member 30 .

[0066] In this embodiment, the control panel 40 is electrically connected to the speaker assembly 20 and the driver 30, so that the working status (for example, start, pause, etc.) of the speaker assembly 20 and the driver 30 can be controlled by the control panel 40, thereby facilitating the intelligence of the speaker 100 and further improving the user experience. Moreover, by controlling the two components of the speaker assembly 20 and the driver 30 through a control panel 40, the number of circuit boards and the wiring structure between the various components can also be simplified, thereby improving the convenience of processing and molding the speaker 100. Of course, it should be noted that the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the working status of the speaker assembly 20 and the driver 30, such as start and pause, can also be manually controlled by an additional switch.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment of the present invention, the speaker assembly 20 includes an inner shell 21, a speaker 23 and a wire body 25. A sound cavity 211 is formed in the inner shell 21, and the inner shell 21 can be driven to rotate by the driving member 30; the speaker 23 is arranged in the sound cavity 211 and is arranged toward the side wall of the outer shell 10. The inner shell 21 is also provided with a revealing opening 213 at a position corresponding to the speaker 23; one end of the wire body 25 is connected to the speaker 23, and the inner shell 21 is also provided with a first wire hole 215. The center line of the first wire hole 215 and the rotation axis of the inner shell 21 are arranged in a collinear manner. The other end of the wire body 25 passes through the first wire hole 215 and is connected to the control board 40.

[0068] In this embodiment, since the first wire hole 215 is colinear with the rotation axis of the inner housing 21, that is, the first wire hole 215 is located at the rotation center of the inner housing 21. In this case, when the inner housing 21 is driven to rotate by the driven member 30, the wire body 25 located at the rotation center will not be entangled or otherwise affected, thereby ensuring that the electrical connection between the speaker 23 and the control board 40 is not affected by relative rotation, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection. To further improve the stability of the electrical connection between the speaker 23 and the control board 40, the ends of the wire body 25 can be welded to the speaker 23 and the control board 40 respectively. Of course, it should be noted that the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the control board 40 and the speaker 23 can also be electrically connected via a conductive slip ring. In addition, the inner housing 21 can be a cubic structure (e.g., a cube or a rectangular parallelepiped structure) to make its shape more regular, thereby facilitating its processing and forming convenience. At the same time, this arrangement also makes the sidewalls of the inner housing 21 relatively flat, allowing the speaker 23 to be stably installed against the inner wall of the inner housing 21, thereby improving the convenience of speaker 23 installation. Of course, in other embodiments, the inner housing 21 can also have a cylindrical structure. In this case, the speaker 23 can be fixed within the inner housing 21 via additional support structures. Furthermore, the inner housing 21 can include a front housing 216 and a rear cover 217. The rear cover 217 is connected to the front housing 216 and, together with the front housing 216, forms a sound cavity 211. Since the structures of the separated front housing 216 and rear cover 217 are relatively simple, and after each is processed, they can be assembled into a whole to form the sound cavity 211, this further improves the convenience of processing the inner housing 21. In this case, the speaker 23 can be installed on the front housing 216, and the corresponding exposure opening 213 for exposing the speaker 23 and the first wire hole 215 for passing the wire 25 can also be provided on the front housing 216. In order to improve the convenience and stability of installing the speaker 23 on the inner shell 21, the speaker 23 can be installed and fixed by a screw connection. Specifically, the screw connection can be a screw, or of course, it can also be a combination of a stud protruding from the inner shell 21 and a nut sleeved on the stud, that is, the speaker 23 is clamped and fixed by the nut and the inner shell 21. Furthermore, in order to prevent the speaker 23 from being damaged by a large locking force during installation, a buffer pad 27 can be provided between the speaker 23 and the inner shell 21 to ensure elastic contact between the speaker 23 and the inner shell 21. The material of the buffer pad 27 can be foam, rubber, or other materials with a certain degree of elasticity.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7In one embodiment of the present invention, the inner shell 21 is further provided with an insertion groove 219, and the first wire passing hole 215 is provided on the groove wall of the insertion groove 219 facing the groove opening; the speaker 100 also includes a mounting plate 50, the mounting plate 50 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 11, and a surface of the mounting plate 50 is provided with an insertion shaft 51, and the end of the insertion shaft 51 away from the mounting plate 50 is adapted to be inserted into the insertion groove 219, so that the inner shell 21 can be rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 50; the control board 40 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 50 away from the inner shell 21, and the insertion shaft 51 and the mounting plate 50 are respectively provided with a second wire passing hole 511 and a third wire passing hole 53 for the wire body 25 to pass through at the position corresponding to the first wire passing hole 215.

[0070] In this embodiment, the inner shell 21 can be directly and rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 50 by rotating the insertion shaft 51 and the insertion groove 219. At this time, the driving member 30 and the control board 40 can both be mounted on the mounting plate 50, so that when the speaker 100 is assembled, the control board 40 and the speaker assembly 20 can be first mounted on the mounting plate 50 to form a whole, and then installed into the outer shell 10 at one time. Installing the speaker assembly 20 and the control board 40 on the mounting plate 50 makes the mechanical connection process and the electrical connection process relatively simple, which is conducive to improving the convenience of assembling the speaker 100. At the same time, the wire body 25 connecting the control board 40 and the speaker 23 can also pass through the insertion shaft 51 and the mounting plate 50, and then through the second wire hole 511 of the insertion shaft 51 and the third wire hole 53 of the mounting plate 50, which also play a limiting and protective role on the wire body 25. Of course, it should be noted that the present application is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the end of the inner shell 21 facing away from the mounting plate 50 may also be rotatably connected to the outer shell 10 .

[0071] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the driving member 30 is arranged on the side of the mounting plate 50 facing the control board 40, and the speaker 100 also includes a transmission assembly 60, which is transmission-connected to the driving member 30 and the inner shell 21, and the driving member 30 drives the inner shell 21 to rotate through the transmission assembly 60.

[0072] In this embodiment, positioning the driver 30 on the side of the mounting plate 50 facing the control board 40 allows the control board 40 and driver 30 to be closer together, thereby improving electrical connection between them and simplifying wiring layout. Furthermore, both the control board 40 and driver 30 are located on the side of the mounting plate 50 facing away from the inner housing 21, preventing them from interfering with the rotation of the inner housing 21, thereby improving the safety of the inner housing 21's rotation. Furthermore, this arrangement allows the driver 30, control board 40, and speaker assembly 20 to be installed on the mounting plate 50 first and then installed within the outer housing 10 simultaneously, further improving the assembly efficiency of the speaker 100. The transmission assembly 60 provides a transmission connection between the driver 30 and the inner housing 21, allowing the driver 30 to drive the inner housing 21 even when the driver 30 is offset from the inner housing 21's rotation axis. In order to improve the convenience and stability of installing the control board 40 and the driver 30 on the mounting plate 50, the control board 40 and the driver 30 can be fixed to the mounting plate 50 by screwing. Specifically, the screwing can be a screw, or it can be a combination of a stud protruding from the mounting plate 50 and a nut sleeved on the stud, that is, the control board 40 and the driver 30 are clamped and fixed by the nut and the mounting plate 50. In addition, it should be noted that the present application is not limited to this. The control board 40 and the driver 30 can be respectively arranged at both ends of the rotation axis of the inner shell 21. In this case, the inner shell 21 can be directly fixed to the driver 30, and the other end is for the wire 25 connecting the control board 40 and the speaker 23 to pass through.

[0073] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the transmission assembly 60 includes a driving member 61 and a driven member 63. Part of the structure of the driving member 30 passes through the mounting plate 50 and is located on the side of the mounting plate 50 facing the inner shell 21. The driving member 61 is sleeved on the driving member 30 located on the side of the mounting plate 50 facing the inner shell 21; the driven member 63 is sleeved on the rotating shaft and is transmission-connected to the driving member 61. The driven member 63 is also connected to the inner shell 21.

[0074] In this embodiment, the active member 61 is sleeved on the driving member 30 that passes through the mounting plate 50, and the driven member 63 is sleeved on the rotating shaft, so that the transmission assembly 60 can be relatively close to both the driving member 30 and the inner shell 21. In this case, the structure of the transmission assembly 60 can be simplified, which is conducive to improving the convenience of manufacturing the transmission assembly 60 and reducing the space occupied by the transmission assembly 60. At the same time, the position of the transmission assembly 60 is set in this way, so that the transmission assembly 60 is located at one end of the rotation axis of the speaker assembly 20, which can avoid the transmission assembly 60 from interfering with the rotation of the speaker assembly 20, thereby further improving the safety of the rotation process of the speaker assembly 20. Among them, when the inner shell 21 includes a front shell 216 and a rear cover 217, the driven member 63 can be connected to the front shell 216 of the inner shell 21.

[0075] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the active member 61 and the driven member 63 are both gears.

[0076] In this embodiment, the active member 61 and the driven member 63 are both gears, and the gear transmission has the advantages of stable transmission and compact structure, which is conducive to improving the stability of the driving member 30 driving the speaker assembly 20, while reducing the space occupied by the transmission assembly 60. Moreover, the speaker assembly 20 can be controlled to have a relatively suitable rotation speed by adjusting the gear sleeved on the driving member 30 and the transmission ratio sleeved on the insertion shaft 51. For example: since the gear transmission ratio is greater than 1, it is a deceleration effect, and the transmission ratio is equal to the inverse ratio of the diameters of the active member 61 and the driven member 63, the diameter sleeved on the driving member 30 can be set to be smaller than the diameter sleeved on the insertion shaft 51. At this time, the speed at which the speaker assembly 20 is driven to rotate is reduced, making its rotation speed easy to control, thereby avoiding the speaker assembly 20 being driven too fast and causing the speaker assembly 20 to be unable to accurately rotate to the position facing the user. Of course, it should be noted that the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the active member 61 and the driven member 63 can also be pulleys. At this time, the transmission assembly 60 may further include a belt, which is sleeved on two pulleys. Alternatively, the transmission assembly 60 may also be a sprocket. At this time, the transmission assembly 60 may further include a chain, which is sleeved on two sprockets.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present invention, the active member 61 is fixed to the driving member 30 via a screw connection.

[0078] In this embodiment, the active member 61 is mounted and fixed via a screw connection, which offers the advantages of simplicity and reliability. This ensures the stability of the active member 61 while simplifying the assembly process, thereby facilitating easier installation of the active member 61. Similarly, the driven member 63 can also be fixed to the inner housing 21 via a screw connection. The screw connection can be a screw. Alternatively, it can be a combination of a stud and a nut that fits over the stud. Specifically, the driver 30 can be provided with a stud, in which case the nut cooperates with the driver 30 to clamp and fix the active member 61. The front shell 216 of the inner housing 21 can also be provided with a stud, in which case the nut cooperates with the inner housing 21 to clamp and fix the driven member 63. Of course, it should be noted that the present application is not limited to this embodiment. In other embodiments, the active member 61 and the driver 30 can be fixed via a key connection, for example, while the driven member 63 and the front shell 216 of the inner housing 21 can be fixed via a snap connection or magnetic fixation, for example.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the side wall of the mounting plate 50 abuts against the inner wall of the outer shell 10, so that the wall of the mounting plate 50 facing the inner shell 21 and the outer shell 10 together form a first cavity 111, and the wall of the mounting plate 50 facing the control board 40 and the outer shell 10 together form a second cavity 113; the speaker 100 also includes a microphone 70, which is arranged on the control board 40, and the side wall of the outer shell 10 is also provided with a sound pickup hole 19 connected to the second cavity 113.

[0080] In this embodiment, the setting of the microphone 70 enables the speaker 100 to receive the user's voice information, and then enables the user to perform voice interaction with the speaker 100 to achieve corresponding control. Therefore, the setting of the microphone 70 can improve the convenience of the user's control of the speaker 100, which is conducive to further improving the user experience. Among them, the side wall of the mounting plate 50 is abutted against the inner wall of the shell 10, and the accommodating cavity 11 is also divided into a first cavity 111 and a second cavity 113. At this time, the speaker 23 is located in the first cavity 111 and the microphone 70 is located in the second cavity 113, so that the two will not cause mutual interference, which is conducive to ensuring that the sound of the speaker 23 is relatively clear and the microphone 70 can obtain the user's voice instructions relatively clearly. In addition, when the shell 10 includes an upper shell 15 and a bottom cover 17, the sound pickup hole 19 can be set on the side wall of the upper shell 15.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8In one embodiment of the present invention, the microphone 70 is arranged on the side of the control board 40 facing away from the mounting plate 50; the speaker 100 also includes a silicone sleeve 80, which is arranged on the side of the control board 40 facing the mounting plate 50. The silicone sleeve 80 is provided with a sound pickup channel 81, and the sound pickup channel 81 is connected to the sound pickup hole 19. The control board 40 is also provided with a sound hole 41 connected to the sound pickup channel 81 at the position corresponding to the microphone 70.

[0082] In this embodiment, a silicone sleeve 80 connects the sound pickup hole 19 and the microphone 70. This prevents other noise from affecting the operation of the microphone 70, ensuring that the microphone 70 only captures the sound transmitted through the sound pickup channel 81, thereby further improving the microphone 70's ability to recognize the user's voice. Furthermore, because the silicone sleeve 80 and the microphone 70 are disposed on opposing surfaces of the control board 40, the space on opposing sides of the control board 40 is more fully utilized. The distance between the control board 40 and the mounting plate 50 can be relatively small, thereby facilitating a more convenient and stable connection between the two.

[0083] Please refer to reference 3 to Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the housing 10 is defined to have a front-to-back direction and a left-to-right direction that are also perpendicular to the up-down direction, and the number of microphones 70 is at least three, wherein the three microphones 70 are respectively arranged on the front, left and right sides of the mounting plate 50.

[0084] In this embodiment, there are at least three microphones 70, allowing the speaker 100 to receive user voice commands through multiple microphones 70 and transmit them to the control board 40. The control board 40 then analyzes the user's position and surrounding environment based on the differences in the sounds received by each microphone 70 (for example, when the user is on the left side of the speaker 100, the sound received by the microphone 70 on the left side is stronger and clearer than the sound received by the other microphones 70). The control board 40 then controls the motor speaker assembly 20 to rotate toward the user, so that the speaker assembly 20 has an optimal sound output position and ensures that the user can hear the sound emitted by the speaker assembly 20 effectively. Therefore, the speaker 100 can now automatically determine the user's position and automatically adjust the speaker assembly 20 to emit sound toward the user, significantly increasing the intelligent capabilities of the speaker 100 and further enhancing the user experience. Among them, the number of the microphones 70 can be only three, of course, it can also be more, and they are arranged around the circumference of the speaker 100, so as to improve the accuracy of the speaker 100 in judging the user's position and improve the adaptability of the subsequent speaker assembly 20 to the user's position. Of course, it should be noted that the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the speaker 100 can also judge the user's position by using a camera set on the housing 10 of the speaker 100 to identify the user's position, and then transmit it to the control board 40. Alternatively, the user directly controls the mobile terminal through a mobile terminal that is in communication with the control board 40 of the speaker 100. At this time, the user's mobile terminal can import a model diagram of the position of the speaker 100 in the room, the orientation of the speaker assembly 20 in the speaker 100, and the relative positions of other objects in the room, and the user can select his own position in the model diagram when using it. The mobile terminal can then transmit the position selected by the user and its relative position relationship with the speaker 100 to the control panel 40 of the speaker 100, so that the control panel 40 can control the driving member 30 to adjust the speaker assembly 20 to work toward the user's position.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the speaker 100 further includes a charging plate 90, which is disposed in the second cavity 113 and located on the rear side of the outer shell 10; the charging plate 90 is electrically connected to the control board 40, and the charging plate 90 is further provided with a charging interface 91, which is exposed from the rear side of the outer shell 10.

[0086] In this embodiment, placing the charging plate 90 within the second cavity 113 allows it to be closer to the control board 40, thereby facilitating the electrical connection between the charging plate 90 and the control board 40, and facilitating the wiring arrangement between the two. Furthermore, placing the charging plate 90 on the rear side of the housing 10 allows the charging port 91 to be concealed and not exposed to the user's view from the front side of the speaker 100. This further ensures the consistency of the appearance of the housing 10 of the speaker 100, providing a better user experience.

[0087] The present invention further provides an electronic system, comprising an electronic device including a speaker 100. The specific structure of the speaker 100 is as described above. Since the electronic device utilizes all of the technical solutions of all of the above embodiments, it at least has all of the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and a detailed description thereof will not be repeated here. The electronic device may include the speaker 100 and a television connected to the speaker 100, or may include the speaker 100 and a smart home connected to the speaker 100.

[0088] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention description and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
