AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing audio output devices cannot adapt to changes in user posture and surrounding environment, resulting in limited user interaction capabilities and high power consumption.

Method used

By integrating gesture sensors and audio output devices into electronic devices, changes in user posture and environmental audio properties can be detected, and the position and volume of the audio output can be adaptively adjusted to improve user interaction efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

Benefits of technology

It enables adaptive audio output in response to changes in user posture and environment, improving user interactivity and device efficiency while reducing power consumption.

Abstract

This disclosure relates to apparatus, methods, and user interfaces for adaptively providing audio output. An electronic device includes one or more posture sensors for detecting the posture of a user of the electronic device relative to a first physical environment and communicating with one or more audio output devices. When the user's first posture meets a first presentation criterion, the electronic device provides audio content at a first analog spatial position relative to the user. The electronic device detects a change in the user's posture from the first posture to a second posture. In response to detecting the change in the user's posture, and based on determining that the user's second posture does not meet the first presentation criterion, the electronic device provides audio content at a second analog spatial position relative to the user, different from the first analog spatial position.
