[0020] FIG. 11 is a block diagram of an electronic device within a network environment according to various embodiments.

[0021] Figure 12 is a block diagram of an audio module according to various embodiments.

[0022] Figure 1 illustrates an example in which an electronic device outputs audio signals through at least one speaker.

[0023] Referring to FIG. 1, the electronic device (100) may be a device available for outputting an audio signal. For example, the electronic device (100) may be described as a smartphone or tablet that includes circuits (or circuitry) for outputting an audio signal.

[0024] For example, the electronic device (100) may include at least one speaker (130). For example, the at least one speaker (130) may be used to output audio signals.

[0025] For example, the electronic device (100) may include a first speaker (130-1), a second speaker (130-2), a third speaker (130-3), and a fourth speaker (130-4). As a non-limiting example, the first speaker (130-1) and the second speaker (130-2) may be positioned at an upper portion of the electronic device (100). As a non-limiting example, the third speaker (130-3) and the fourth speaker (130-4) may be positioned at a lower portion of the electronic device (100).

[0026] For example, the electronic device (100) can output first audio signals (101-1) through the first speaker (130-1). For example, the electronic device (100) can output second audio signals (101-2) through the second speaker (130-2). For example, the electronic device (100) can output third audio signals (101-3) through the third speaker (130-3). For example, the electronic device (100) can output fourth audio signals (101-4) through the fourth speaker (130-4).

[0027] For example, the first audio signals (101-1), the second audio signals (101-2), the third audio signals (101-3), and the fourth audio signals (101-4) may be at least partially different from each other.

[0028] As a non-limiting example, the content provided by the first audio signals (101-1), the content provided by the second audio signals (101-2), the content provided by the third audio signals (101-3), and the content provided by the fourth audio signals (101-4) may be substantially identical to each other (corresponding to the content), but the properties of the first audio signals (101-1), the properties of the second audio signals (101-2), the properties of the third audio signals (101-3), and the properties of the fourth audio signals (101-4) may be at least partially different from each other.

[0029] For example, in order to output respective audio signals through the first speaker (130-1), the second speaker (130-2), the third speaker (130-3), and the fourth speaker (130-4), the electronic device (100) may need to obtain audio data for each audio signal.

[0030] For example, the electronic device (100) may include a first processor (110). For example, the first processor (110) may be used to process audio data. For example, processing the audio data may include obtaining audio data set for output through a plurality of speakers. For example, the first processor (110) may obtain audio data set for output through a plurality of speakers. For example, the first processor (110) may obtain audio data set for output through four speakers.

[0031] For example, the electronic device (100) may include a second processor (120). For example, the first processor (110) may provide audio data to the second processor (120). For example, the second processor (120) may obtain audio data from the first processor (110). For example, the second processor (120) may be used to process audio data. For example, the second processor (120) may obtain audio data set for output through a plurality of speakers. For example, the second processor (120) may obtain audio data set for output through four speakers.

[0032] For example, there may be first audio data for first audio signals (101-1). For example, there may be second audio data for second audio signals (101-2). For example, there may be third audio data for third audio signals (101-3). For example, there may be fourth audio data for fourth audio signals (101-4).

[0033] For example, the electronic device (100) may include at least one component other than the first speaker (130-1), the second speaker (130-2), the third speaker (130-3), and the fourth speaker (130-4). For example, the at least one component may be positioned around each of the first speaker (130-1), the second speaker (130-2), the third speaker (130-3), and the fourth speaker (130-4).

[0034] For example, interference may occur from at least one component positioned around the first speaker (130-1). For example, the interference may cause the sound quality of the first audio signals (101-1) output through the first speaker (130-1) to deteriorate. For example, to reduce interference from the at least one component positioned around the first speaker (130-1), at least a portion of the first audio data may need to be adjusted.

[0035] For example, there may be interference from at least one component located around the second speaker (130-2). For example, the interference may cause the sound quality of the second audio signals (101-2) output through the second speaker (130-2) to deteriorate. For example, in order to reduce the interference from the at least one component located around the second speaker (130-2), at least a portion of the second audio data may need to be adjusted.

[0036] For example, there may be interference from at least one component located around the third speaker (130-3). For example, the interference may cause the sound quality of the third audio signals (101-3) output through the third speaker (130-3) to deteriorate. For example, to reduce the interference from the at least one component located around the third speaker (130-3), at least a portion of the third audio data may need to be adjusted.

[0037] For example, there may be interference from at least one component located around the fourth speaker (130-4). For example, the interference may cause the sound quality of the fourth audio signals (101-4) output through the fourth speaker (130-4) to deteriorate. For example, to reduce interference from the at least one component located around the fourth speaker (130-4), at least a portion of the fourth audio data may need to be adjusted.

[0038] For example, the first audio data, the second audio data, the third audio data, and the fourth audio data each need to be processed differently.

[0039] For example, the electronic device (100) can provide three-dimensional sound by outputting audio signals that are at least partially different from each other through the first speaker (130-1), the second speaker (130-2), the third speaker (130-3), and the fourth speaker (130-4).

[0040] As a non-limiting example, the first audio signals (101-1) output through the first speaker (130-1) may be front audio signals. As a non-limiting example, the second audio signals (101-2) output through the second speaker (130-2) may be right audio signals. As a non-limiting example, the third audio signals (101-3) output through the third speaker (130-3) may be rear audio signals. As a non-limiting example, the fourth audio signals (101-4) output through the fourth speaker (130-4) may be left audio signals. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0041] For example, in order to provide three-dimensional sound, the first audio data, the second audio data, the third audio data, and the fourth audio data need to be processed differently.

[0042] For example, the first processor (110) may process a plurality of audio data differently. For example, processing the audio data may include adjusting at least a portion of the audio data. For example, processing the audio data may include converting the audio data into other audio data. For example, the first processor (110) may obtain other audio data by adjusting at least a portion of the audio data. For example, the first processor (110) may obtain other audio data by converting the audio data. For example, the first processor (110) may process the first audio data, the second audio data, the third audio data, and the fourth audio data differently.

[0043] For example, the first processor (110) can provide audio data to the second processor (120). For example, the second processor (120) can obtain audio data from the first processor (110). For example, the second processor (120) can process each of the plurality of audio data differently. For example, the second processor (120) can obtain different audio data by adjusting at least a portion of the audio data. For example, the second processor (120) can obtain different audio data by converting the audio data. For example, the second processor (120) can process the first audio data, the second audio data, the third audio data, and the fourth audio data differently.

[0044] For example, the second processor (120) can provide audio data to at least one speaker (130). For example, at least one speaker (130) can output audio signals for the audio data.

[0045] For example, the processing of audio data by the first processor (110) is illustrated in the description of FIG. 2.

[0046] Figure 2 illustrates an example of audio data being processed within an electronic device.

[0047] Referring to FIG. 2, the first processor (201) can obtain a first set (200-1) of audio data and a second set (200-2) of audio data. For example, the first set (200-1) of audio data may be a set of audio data for first audio signals. For example, the second set (200-2) of audio data may be a set of audio data for second audio signals.

[0048] For example, the set of audio data may include audio data for a portion of audio signals to be output through at least one speaker (130). For example, the set of audio data may include audio data for another portion (or remaining portion) of audio signals to be output through the one speaker and another speaker of the at least one speaker (130).

[0049] For example, the first processor (201) may include an audio data processing unit (210-1) and an audio data processing unit (210-2). For example, the audio data processing unit (210-1) may convert the first set (200-1) of audio data into a third set (220-1) of audio data based at least in part on the first volume information. For example, the first volume information may be volume information according to a user setting. For example, the first volume information may be volume information related to the first set (200-1) of audio data.

[0050] For example, the audio data processing unit (210-2) may convert the second set (200-2) of audio data into the fourth set (220-2) of audio data based at least in part on the second volume information. For example, the second volume information may be volume information according to a user setting. For example, the second volume information may be volume information related to the second set (200-2) of audio data.

[0051] For example, the first processor (201) may include a mixer (230). For example, the first processor (201) may mix a third set (220-1) of audio data and a fourth set (220-2) of audio data using the mixer (230). For example, the first processor (201) may generate a fifth set (240) of audio data by mixing the third set (220-1) of audio data and the fourth set (220-2) of audio data.

[0052] For example, the electronic device (100) may include an interface (204) to connect a first processor (201) and a second processor (202). For example, the first processor (201) may provide a fifth set (240) of audio data to the second processor (202) through the interface (204). For example, the second processor (202) may obtain the fifth set (240) of audio data from the first processor (201) through the interface (204).

[0053] For example, the second processor (202) may provide a fifth set (240) of audio data to at least one speaker (203). For example, the fifth set (240) of audio data may be a set of audio data for third audio signals (260). For example, the third audio signals (260) may be audio signals that are mixed with the first audio signals and the second audio signals.

[0054] For example, at least one speaker (203) may include an audio output unit (250) (e.g., including circuitry). For example, the audio output unit (250) may convert the fifth set of audio data (240) into third audio signals (260). For example, the second processor (202) may output the third audio signals (260) through the audio output unit (250) of the at least one speaker (203).

[0055] For example, the first processor (201) may be described as an application processor (e.g., including processing circuitry). For example, the second processor (202) may be described as an audio digital signal processor (DSP) (e.g., including processing circuitry). For example, processing a set of audio data through the first processor (201) may result in relatively higher power consumption within the electronic device (100) than processing the set of audio data through the second processor (202).

[0056] For example, converting a first set (200-1) of audio data into a third set (220-1) of audio data via a first processor (201) based at least in part on the first volume information may result in relatively higher power consumption within the electronic device (100) for outputting the first audio signals than converting the first set (200-1) of audio data into a third set (220-1) of audio data via a second processor (202) based at least in part on the first volume information. For example, converting a second set (200-2) of audio data into a fourth set (220-2) of audio data via the first processor (201) based at least in part on the second volume information may result in relatively higher power consumption within the electronic device (100) for outputting the second audio signals than converting a second set (200-2) of audio data into a fourth set (220-4) of audio data via the second processor (202) based at least in part on the second volume information.

[0057] For example, processing a set of audio data via the second processor (202) may reduce power consumed within the electronic device (100) to output audio signals. For example, converting a first set (200-1) of audio data into a third set (220-3) of audio data via the second processor (202) based at least in part on the first volume information may reduce power consumed within the electronic device (100) to output the first audio signals. For example, converting a second set (200-2) of audio data into a fourth set (220-4) of audio data via the second processor (202) based at least in part on the second volume information may reduce power consumed within the electronic device (100) to output the second audio signals.

[0058] For example, a method for reducing power consumption within an electronic device (100) may be implemented within the electronic device (100). For example, the electronic device (100) may include components for implementing such a method. The components of the electronic device (100) are exemplified within the description of FIG. 3.

For example, the electronic device (100) may include a first processor (110), a second processor (120), at least one speaker (130), a memory (300), and a first interface (310). For example, the electronic device (100) may further include a second interface (320).

[0061] The first processor (110) may include a processing circuit. For example, the first processor (110) may include a central processing unit (CPU) (e.g., including a processing circuit). For example, the first processor (110) may include a graphic processing unit (GPU) (e.g., including a processing circuit) and a neural processing unit (NPU) (e.g., including a processing circuit). For example, the first processor (110) may be described as an application processor. For example, the first processor (110) may be configured to control the second processor (120) and at least one speaker (130). The first processor (110) may be configured to individually or collectively execute instructions stored in the memory (300) to cause the electronic device (100) to perform at least some of the operations illustrated in the description of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 . The first processor (110) may be configured to execute instructions stored in the memory (300) to cause the electronic device (100) to perform at least some of the operations illustrated in the descriptions of FIGS. 4 to 10.

[0062] The second processor (120) may include a processing circuit. For example, the second processor (120) may be described as an audio DSP. For example, the second processor (120) may include a coprocessor for audio. For example, the second processor (120) may be configured to control at least one speaker (130).

[0068] FIG. 4 illustrates an example of audio data being processed within an electronic device including multiple interfaces.

[0069] Referring to FIG. 4, the first processor (110) can obtain a first set (400-1) of audio data and a second set (400-2) of audio data. For example, the first set (400-1) of audio data can be a set of audio data for fourth audio signals. For example, the second set (400-2) of audio data can be a set of audio data for fifth audio signals. For example, the fifth audio signals can be output through at least one speaker (130) while the fourth audio signals are output through at least one speaker (130).

[0070] For example, the set of audio data may include audio data for a portion of audio signals to be output through at least one speaker (130). For example, the set of audio data may include audio data for another portion (or remaining portion) of audio signals to be output through the one speaker and another speaker of the at least one speaker (130).

[0071] For example, the second set (400-2) of audio data may include audio data for a portion of the fifth audio signals to be output through one of the at least one speaker (130).

[0072] For example, a first set (400-1) of audio data may include a first type of audio data. For example, the first type may include music. For example, a second set (400-2) of audio data may include a second type of audio data. For example, the second type may be different from the first type.

As a non-limiting example, the second type may include a game sound effect. As a non-limiting example, the second type may include a system sound. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0073] For example, the first processor (110) may identify an audio processing mode for outputting the fourth audio signals and the fifth audio signals. For example, the fourth audio signals and the fifth audio signals may require processing at a speed faster than a reference audio processing speed. For example, the audio processing mode for outputting the fourth audio signals and the fifth audio signals may be an audio processing mode for outputting audio signals at an audio processing speed faster than the reference audio processing speed. As a non-limiting example, the audio processing mode for outputting audio signals at an audio processing speed faster than the reference audio processing speed may include a fast-track mode. For example, based on the first processor (110) identifying an audio processing mode for outputting audio signals at an audio processing speed faster than the reference audio processing speed, the operations described below may be performed.

[0074] For example, the first processor (110) may include a first volume processing unit (401-1) and a first volume processing unit (401-2). For example, the first volume processing unit (401-1) and the first volume processing unit (401-2) may support a function of processing a set of audio data through an algorithm stored in the memory (300). For example, the first volume processing unit (401-1) and the first volume processing unit (401-2) may process some audio data within the set of audio data. For example, the first volume processing unit (401-1) and the first volume processing unit (401-2) are described as 'units' for convenience of explanation, but the above function may be performed in software and / or functionally.

[0075] For example, the first processor (110) can obtain the third set (402-1) of audio data by applying the first volume information to the first set (400-1) of audio data using the first volume processing unit (401-1). For example, the first volume information can be set by the user. For example, the first volume information can be volume information related to the first set (400-1) of audio data. As a non-limiting example, the first volume information can be information about the volume level of the first set (400-1) of audio data according to the user's setting. For example, the first set (400-1) of audio data can be subjected to volume processing based on the first volume information.

[0076] For example, the first processor (110) can obtain the fourth set (402-2) of audio data by applying the second volume information to the second set (400-2) of audio data using the first volume processing unit (401-2).

For example, the maximum volume processing unit (403-1) and the maximum volume processing unit (403-2) may process some audio data within the set of audio data. For example, the maximum volume processing unit (403-1) and the maximum volume processing unit (403-2) are described as 'units' for convenience of explanation, but the above functions may be performed in software and / or functionally.

[0081] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the fifth set (404-1) of audio data by converting the third set (402-1) of audio data using the maximum volume processing unit (403-1). For example, the fifth set (404-1) of audio data can have a maximum volume. For example, the maximum volume can be the maximum volume of the third set (402-1) of audio data. For example, in order to improve the sound quality of the third set (402-1) of audio data, the second processor (120) can obtain the fifth set (404-1) of audio data.

[0082] For example, obtaining a fifth set (404-1) of audio data through the first processor (110) by converting a third set (402-1) of audio data through the first processor (110) may result in relatively higher power consumption than obtaining a fifth set (404-1) of audio data through the second processor (120) by converting the third set (402-1) of audio data through the second processor (120). For example, obtaining a fifth set (404-1) of audio data through the second processor (120) by converting the third set (402-1) of audio data through the second processor (120) may reduce power consumed within the electronic device (100) to output the fourth audio signals.

[0083] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the sixth set (404-2) of audio data by converting the fourth set (402-2) of audio data using the maximum volume processing unit (403-2). For example, the sixth set (404-2) of audio data can have a maximum volume. For example, the maximum volume can be the maximum volume of the fourth set (402-2) of audio data. For example, the sixth set (404-2) of audio data can be a set of audio data to which the maximum volume is applied to the fourth set (402-2) of audio data. For example, in order to improve the sound quality of the fourth set (402-2) of audio data, the second processor (120) can obtain the sixth set (404-2) of audio data.

[0084] For example, obtaining a sixth set (404-2) of audio data through a first processor (110) by converting a fourth set (402-2) of audio data through a first processor (110) may result in relatively higher power consumption within the electronic device (100) than obtaining a sixth set (404-2) of audio data through a second processor (120) by converting a fourth set (402-2) of audio data through a second processor (120).

[0085] For example, the second processor (120) may include an audio data preprocessing unit (405-1) and an audio data preprocessing unit (405-2). For example, the audio data preprocessing unit (405-1) and the audio data preprocessing unit (405-2) may support a function of processing a set of audio data through an algorithm stored in the memory (300). For example, the audio data preprocessing unit (405-1) and the audio data preprocessing unit (405-2) may process some audio data within the set of audio data. For example, the audio data preprocessing unit (405-1) and the audio data preprocessing unit (405-2) are described as 'units' for convenience of explanation, but the above functions may be performed in software and / or functionally.

[0086] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the seventh set (406-1) of audio data by converting the fifth set (404-1) of audio data using the audio data preprocessing unit (405-1). For example, the fifth set (404-1) of audio data can be set for output through M speakers. For example, the seventh set (406-1) of audio data can be set for output through N speakers. For example, N and M can be natural numbers greater than or equal to 2. For example, N can exceed M. For example, the electronic device (100) can include N speakers.

[0087] For example, obtaining a seventh set (406-1) of audio data through the first processor (110) by converting the fifth set (404-1) of audio data through the first processor (110) may result in relatively higher power consumption within the electronic device (100) than obtaining a seventh set (406-1) of audio data through the second processor (120) by converting the fifth set (404-1) of audio data through the second processor (120).

[0116] As a non-limiting example, the electronic device (100) may include four speakers. As a non-limiting example, at least one speaker (130) may be four speakers. As the electronic device (100) includes four speakers, mixing audio data for output through the four speakers is exemplified within the description of FIG. 5.

[0117] Figure 6 illustrates an example of outputting audio signals through multiple speakers.

[0118] Referring to FIG. 6, the electronic device (100) may include four speakers. For example, at least one speaker (130) may be four speakers. For example, the electronic device (100) may include a first speaker (130-1), a second speaker (130-2), a third speaker (130-3), and a fourth speaker (130-4).

[0119] For example, the electronic device (100) may include a second volume processing unit (407-1) and a second volume processing unit (407-2).

[0120] For example, the electronic device (100) may obtain a seventh set (406-1) of audio data. For example, the seventh set (406-1) of audio data may include first audio data (501-1) within the seventh set (406-1) of audio data, second audio data (501-2) within the seventh set (406-1) of audio data, third audio data (501-3) within the seventh set (406-1) of audio data, and fourth audio data (501-4) within the seventh set (406-1) of audio data.

[0121] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the ninth set (408-1) of audio data by applying the first volume information to the seventh set (406-1) of audio data using the second volume processing unit (407-1). For example, the ninth set (408-1) of audio data can include the first audio data (600-1) in the ninth set (408-1) of audio data, the second audio data (600-2) in the ninth set (408-1) of audio data, the third audio data (600-3) in the ninth set (408-1) of audio data, and the fourth audio data (600-4) in the ninth set (408-1) of audio data.

[0122] For example, the first volume information may be set by the user. For example, the first volume information may be volume information related to the first set (400-1) of audio data. As a non-limiting example, the first volume information may be information about the volume level of the first set (400-1) of audio data according to the user's setting. For example, the seventh set (406-1) of audio data may be subject to volume processing based on the first volume information.

[0123] For example, the second processor (120) may obtain an eighth set (406-2) of audio data. For example, the eighth set (406-2) of audio data may include first audio data (503-1) within the eighth set (406-2) of audio data, second audio data (503-2) within the eighth set (406-2) of audio data, third audio data (503-3) within the eighth set (406-2) of audio data, and fourth audio data (503-4) within the eighth set (406-2) of audio data.

[0124] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the tenth set (408-2) of audio data by applying the second volume information to the eighth set (406-2) of audio data using the second volume processing unit (407-2). For example, the tenth set (408-2) of audio data can include the first audio data (602-1) in the tenth set (408-2) of audio data, the second audio data (602-2) in the tenth set (408-2) of audio data, the third audio data (602-3) in the tenth set (408-2) of audio data, and the fourth audio data (602-4) in the tenth set (408-2) of audio data. For example, the second volume information can be set by the user. For example, the second volume information can be volume information related to the second set (400-2) of audio data. As a non-limiting example, the second volume information may be information about the volume level of the second set (400-2) of audio data according to the user's settings. For example, the eighth set (406-2) of audio data may have its volume processed based on the second volume information.

[0125] For example, the second processor (120) may include an audio data post-processing unit (409-1) and an audio data post-processing unit (409-2).

[0126] For example, the electronic device (100) may include at least one component other than a first speaker (130-1), a second speaker (130-2), a third speaker (130-3), and a fourth speaker (130-4).

[0127] For example, at least one component of the electronic device (100) may be positioned around the first speaker (130-1). For example, an audio signal output through the first speaker (130-1) may be subject to interference due to at least one component positioned around the first speaker (130-1). For example, there may be first reference information for reducing interference from at least one component positioned around the first speaker (130-1).

[0128] For example, at least one component of the electronic device (100) may be positioned around the second speaker (130-2). For example, an audio signal output through the second speaker (130-2) may be subject to interference due to at least one component positioned around the second speaker (130-2). For example, there may be second reference information for reducing interference from at least one component positioned around the second speaker (130-2).

[0129] For example, at least one component of the electronic device (100) may be positioned around the third speaker (130-3). For example, an audio signal output through the third speaker (130-3) may be subject to interference due to at least one component positioned around the third speaker (130-3). For example, there may be third reference information for reducing interference from at least one component positioned around the third speaker (130-3).

[0130] For example, at least one component of the electronic device (100) may be positioned around the fourth speaker (130-4). For example, an audio signal output through the fourth speaker (130-4) may be interfered with by at least one component positioned around the fourth speaker (130-4). For example, there may be fourth reference information for reducing interference from at least one component positioned around the fourth speaker (130-4).

[0131] For example, the positions of the first speaker (130-1), the second speaker (130-2), the third speaker (130-3), and the fourth speaker (130-4) within the electronic device (100) may be different. For example, at least one component positioned around each of the first speaker (130-1), the second speaker (130-2), the third speaker (130-3), and the fourth speaker (130-4) may be different. For example, interference from at least one component positioned around each of the first speaker (130-1), the second speaker (130-2), the third speaker (130-3), and the fourth speaker (130-4) may be different. For example, reference information for reducing interference from at least one component positioned around each of the first speaker (130-1), the second speaker (130-2), the third speaker (130-3), and the fourth speaker (130-4) may be different. For example, the first reference information, the second reference information, the third reference information, and the fourth reference information may each be different.

[0132] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the first audio data (601-1) in the eleventh set (410-1) of audio data by adjusting at least a portion of the first audio data (600-1) in the ninth set (408-1) of audio data using the first reference information through the audio data post-processing unit (409-1). For example, the first audio data (601-1) in the eleventh set (410-1) of audio data can be a set of audio data in which audio processing is performed on the first audio data (600-1) in the ninth set (408-1) of audio data based on the first reference information.

[0133] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain second audio data (601-2) in the eleventh set (410-1) of audio data by adjusting at least a portion of the second audio data (600-2) in the ninth set (408-1) of audio data using the second reference information through the audio data post-processing unit (409-1).

[0134] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain third audio data (601-3) in the eleventh set (410-1) of audio data by adjusting at least a portion of the third audio data (600-3) in the ninth set (408-1) of audio data using the third reference information through the audio data post-processing unit (409-1). For example, the third audio data (601-3) in the eleventh set (410-1) of audio data can be a set of audio data in which audio processing is performed on the third audio data (600-3) in the ninth set (408-1) of audio data based on the third reference information.

[0135] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the fourth audio data (601-4) in the eleventh set (410-1) of audio data by adjusting at least a portion of the fourth audio data (600-4) in the ninth set (408-1) of audio data using the fourth reference information through the audio data post-processing unit (409-1). For example, the fourth audio data (601-4) in the eleventh set (410-1) of audio data can be a set of audio data in which audio processing is performed on the fourth audio data (600-4) in the ninth set (408-1) of audio data based on the fourth reference information.

[0136] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain audio data in the eleventh set (410-1) of audio data by using different reference information required for each audio data in the ninth set (408-1) of audio data.

[0137] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the first audio data (603-1) in the twelfth set (410-2) of audio data by adjusting at least a portion of the first audio data (602-1) in the tenth set (408-2) of audio data using the first reference information through the audio data post-processing unit (409-2). For example, the first audio data (603-1) in the twelfth set (410-2) of audio data can be a set of audio data in which audio processing is performed on the first audio data (602-1) in the tenth set (408-2) of audio data based on the first reference information.

[0138] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain second audio data (603-2) in the twelfth set (410-2) of audio data by adjusting at least a portion of the second audio data (602-2) in the tenth set (408-2) of audio data using the second reference information through the audio data post-processing unit (409-2). For example, the second audio data (603-2) in the twelfth set (410-2) of audio data can be a set of audio data in which audio processing is performed on the second audio data (602-2) in the tenth set (408-2) of audio data based on the second reference information.

[0139] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain third audio data (603-3) in the twelfth set (410-2) of audio data by adjusting at least a portion of the third audio data (602-3) in the tenth set (408-2) of audio data using the third reference information through the audio data post-processing unit (409-2). For example, the third audio data (603-3) in the twelfth set (410-2) of audio data can be a set of audio data in which audio processing is performed on the third audio data (602-3) in the tenth set (408-2) of audio data based on the third reference information.

[0140] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the fourth audio data (603-4) in the twelfth set (410-2) of audio data by adjusting at least a portion of the fourth audio data (602-4) in the tenth set (408-2) of audio data using the fourth reference information through the audio data post-processing unit (409-2). For example, the fourth audio data (603-4) in the twelfth set (410-2) of audio data can be a set of audio data in which audio processing is performed on the fourth audio data (602-4) in the tenth set (408-2) of audio data based on the fourth reference information.

[0141] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain audio data in the twelfth set (410-2) of audio data by using different reference information required for each audio data in the tenth set (408-2) of audio data.

[0142] For example, the second processor (120) may include a mixer (411-1). For example, the second processor (120) may mix the first audio data (601-1) of the eleventh set (410-1) of audio data and the first audio data (603-1) of the twelfth set (410-2) of audio data using the mixer (411-1). For example, the second processor (120) may generate the first audio data (604-1) of the thirteenth set (412) of audio data by mixing the first audio data (601-1) of the eleventh set (410-1) of audio data and the first audio data (603-1) of the twelfth set (410-2) of audio data.

[0143] For example, the second processor (120) may provide the first audio data (604-1) of the thirteenth set (412) of audio data to the first speaker (413-1). For example, the first audio data (604-1) of the thirteenth set (412) of audio data may be audio data for the first audio signal (605-1) of the sixth audio signals (414). For example, the sixth audio signals (414) may be audio signals in which the fourth audio signals and the fifth audio signals are mixed.

[0144] For example, the first speaker (130-1) may include an audio output unit (413-1). For example, the audio output unit (413-1) may support a function of processing a set of audio data through an algorithm stored in the memory (300). For example, the audio output unit (413-1) may process some audio data within the set of audio data. For example, the audio output unit (413-1) is described as a 'unit' for convenience of explanation, but the above function may be performed software-wise and / or functionally.

[0145] For example, the audio output unit (413-1) can convert the first audio data (604-1) of the 13th set (412) of audio data into the first audio signal (605-1) of the sixth audio signals (414). For example, the second processor (120) can output the first audio signal (605-1) of the sixth audio signals (414) through the audio output unit (413-1) of the first speaker (130-1).

[0159] For example, the electronic device (100) may not include a second interface (320). For example, in FIG. 4, the first processor (110) may not provide the fourth set (402-2) of audio data to the second processor (120) via the second interface (320). In an electronic device (100) that does not include a second interface (320), the processing of audio data by the second processor (120) is exemplified in the description of FIG. 7.

[0160] Figure 7 illustrates an example of audio data being processed within an electronic device including one interface.

[0161] Referring to FIG. 7, the first processor (110) can obtain a first set (700-1) of audio data and a second set (700-2) of audio data. For example, the first set (700-1) of audio data can be a set of audio data for seventh audio signals. For example, the second set (700-2) of audio data can be a set of audio data for eighth audio signals. For example, the eighth audio signals can be output through at least one speaker (130) while the seventh audio signals are output through at least one speaker (130).

[0162] For example, a first set of audio data (700-1) may include a first type of audio data. For example, the first type may include music. For example, a second set of audio data (700-2) may include a second type of audio data.

[0163] For example, the first processor (110) may identify an audio processing mode for outputting the seventh audio signals and the eighth audio signals. For example, based on the first processor (110) identifying an audio processing mode for outputting audio signals at an audio processing speed faster than a reference audio processing speed, the operations described below may be performed.

[0164] For example, the first processor (110) may include a first volume processing unit (701-1) and a first volume processing unit (701-2). For example, the first volume processing unit (701-1) and the first volume processing unit (701-2) may support a function of processing a set of audio data through an algorithm stored in the memory (300). For example, the first volume processing unit (701-1) and the first volume processing unit (701-2) may process some audio data within the set of audio data. For example, the first volume processing unit (701-1) and the first volume processing unit (701-2) are described as 'units' for convenience of explanation, but the above function may be performed in software and / or functionally.

[0165] For example, the first processor (110) can obtain the third set (702-1) of audio data by applying the first volume information to the first set (700-1) of audio data using the first volume processing unit (701-1). For example, the first volume information can be set by the user. For example, the first volume information can be volume information related to the first set (700-1) of audio data. As a non-limiting example, the first volume information can be information about the volume level of the first set (700-1) of audio data according to the user's setting. For example, the first set (700-1) of audio data can be subjected to volume processing based on the first volume information.

[0166] For example, the first processor (110) can obtain the fourth set (702-2) of audio data by applying the second volume information to the second set (700-2) of audio data using the first volume processing unit (701-2). For example, the second volume information can be set by the user. For example, the second volume information can be volume information related to the second set (700-2) of audio data. As a non-limiting example, the second volume information can be information about the volume level of the second set (700-2) of audio data according to the user's setting. For example, the second set (700-2) of audio data can be subjected to volume processing based on the second volume information.

[0167] For example, the first processor (110) may include a mixer (703). For example, the first processor (110) may mix a third set (702-1) of audio data and a fourth set (702-2) of audio data using the mixer (703). For example, the first processor (110) may generate a fifth set (704) of audio data by mixing the third set (702-1) of audio data and the fourth set (702-2) of audio data.

[0168] For example, the electronic device (100) may include a first interface (310). For example, the first processor (110) may be electrically directly connected to the second processor (120) via the first interface (310).

[0169] For example, the electronic device (100) may not include a second interface (320). For example, because the electronic device (100) does not include a second interface (320), it may be required to generate a fifth set (704) of audio data by mixing a third set (702-1) of audio data and a fourth set (702-2) of audio data. For example, because the electronic device (100) does not include a second interface (320), the first processor (110) may be required to provide a fifth set (704) of audio data, which is a mixture of the third set (702-1) of audio data and the fourth set (702-2) of audio data, to the second processor (120) via the first interface (310).

[0170] For example, the first processor (110) may assign the third set (702-1) of audio data and the fourth set (702-2) of audio data to different segments within the memory (300) without mixing them. Assigning the third set (702-1) of audio data and the fourth set (702-2) of audio data to different segments and providing them to the second processor (120) is exemplified in the description of FIG. 8.

[0171] Figure 8 illustrates an example of segmenting a set of audio data.

[0172] Referring to FIG. 8, the electronic device (100) can allocate a first segment (800) and a second segment (801) within the memory (300). For example, a third set (702-1) of audio data can be stored in the first segment (800) within the memory (300). For example, a fourth set (702-2) of audio data can be stored in the second segment (801) within the memory (300).

[0173] For example, the electronic device (100) may include a first interface (310). For example, the first processor (110) may be electrically directly connected to the second processor (120) via the first interface (310).

[0174] For example, the first processor (110) can provide the first segment (800) and the second segment (801) to the second processor (120) via the first interface (310). For example, the first processor (110) can provide the first segment (800) and the second segment (801) to the second processor (120) via the first interface (310) without mixing the third set (702-1) of audio data and the fourth set (702-2) of audio data.

[0175] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the first segment (800) and the second segment (801) from the first processor (110) through the first interface (310). For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the sixth set (706-1) of audio data based on the first segment (800). For example, the sixth set (706-1) of audio data can correspond to the third set (702-1) of audio data. For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the seventh set (706-1) of audio data based on the second segment (801). For example, the seventh set (706-1) of audio data can correspond to the fourth set (702-2) of audio data.

[0176] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the sixth set (706-1) of audio data and the seventh set (706-2) of audio data without separating the sets of audio data.

[0177] For example, the electronic device (100) may include a buffer within the memory (300). For example, the first processor (110) may store the third set (702-1) of audio data and the fourth set (702-2) of audio data in an interleaved manner within the buffer within the memory (300) without mixing them. Providing the third set (702-1) of audio data and the fourth set (702-2) of audio data to the second processor (120) by interleaving them within the buffer within the memory (300) is exemplified in the description of FIG. 9.

[0178] Figure 9 illustrates an example in which sets of audio data are stored cross-aligned within a buffer.

[0179] Referring to FIG. 9, the electronic device (100) may include a buffer (900) within the memory (300). For example, a third set (702-1) of audio data may be stored within the buffer (900) within the memory (300). For example, a fourth set (702-2) of audio data may be stored within the buffer (900) within the memory (300). For example, the third set (702-1) of audio data and the fourth set (702-2) of audio data may be interleaved and stored within the buffer (900) within the memory (300).

[0180] For example, a third set (702-1) of audio data may be stored in spaces (901) within a buffer (900) within a memory (300). For example, a fourth set (702-2) of audio data may be stored in spaces (902) between spaces (901) within a buffer (900) within a memory (300).

[0181] For example, the electronic device (100) may include a first interface (310). For example, the first processor (110) may be electrically directly connected to the second processor (120) via the first interface (310).

[0182] For example, the first processor (110) may provide the third set (702-1) of audio data and the fourth set (702-2) of audio data, which are stored cross-arranged within a buffer (900) within a memory (300), to the second processor (120) via the first interface (310). For example, the first processor (110) may provide the third set (702-1) of audio data and the fourth set (702-2) of audio data to the second processor (120) via the first interface (310) without mixing them.

[0183] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the third set (702-1) of audio data and the fourth set (702-2) of audio data, which are cross-arranged and stored in the buffer (900) within the memory (300), from the first processor (110) via the first interface (310). For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the sixth set (706-1) of audio data and the seventh set (706-2) of audio data based on sequentially loading the third set (702-1) of audio data and the fourth set (702-2) of audio data, which are cross-arranged and stored in the buffer (900) within the memory (300). For example, the sixth set (706-1) of audio data can correspond to the third set (702-1) of audio data. For example, the seventh set (706-2) of audio data may correspond to the fourth set (702-2) of audio data.

[0184] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the sixth set (706-1) of audio data and the seventh set (706-2) of audio data without separating the sets of audio data.

[0185] Referring again to FIG. 7, the first processor (110) may provide the fifth set (704) of audio data to the second processor (120) via the first interface (310). For example, the second processor (120) may obtain the fifth set (704) of audio data from the first processor (110) via the first interface (310).

[0186] For example, the second processor (120) may include an audio data separation unit (705). For example, the audio data separation unit (705) may support a function of processing a set of audio data through an algorithm stored in the memory (300). For example, the audio data separation unit (705) may process some audio data within the set of audio data. For example, the audio data separation unit (705) is described as a 'unit' for convenience of explanation, but the above function may be performed in software and / or functionally.

[0187] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain a sixth set (706-1) of audio data and a seventh set (706-2) of audio data from a fifth set (704) of audio data using the audio data separation unit (705).

[0188] As a non-limiting example, the audio data separation unit (705) may include a blind source separation (BSS) algorithm. As a non-limiting example, the second processor (120) may obtain a sixth set (706-1) of audio data and a seventh set (706-2) of audio data from a fifth set (704) of audio data using the blind source separation (BSS) algorithm.

[0189] For example, the second processor (120) may include a maximum volume processing unit (707-1) and a maximum volume processing unit (707-2). For example, the maximum volume processing unit (707-1) and the maximum volume processing unit (707-2) may support a function of processing a set of audio data through an algorithm stored in the memory (300). For example, the maximum volume processing unit (707-1) and the maximum volume processing unit (707-2) may process some audio data within the set of audio data. For example, the maximum volume processing unit (707-1) and the maximum volume processing unit (707-2) are described as “units” for convenience of explanation, but the above functions may be performed software-wise and / or functionally.

[0190] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the eighth set (708-1) of audio data by converting the sixth set (706-1) of audio data using the maximum volume processing unit (707-1). For example, the eighth set (708-1) of audio data can have a maximum volume. For example, the maximum volume can be the maximum volume of the sixth set (706-1) of audio data. For example, in order to improve the sound quality of the sixth set (706-1) of audio data, the second processor (120) can obtain the eighth set (708-1) of audio data.

[0191] For example, obtaining an eighth set (708-1) of audio data through the first processor (110) by converting the sixth set (706-1) of audio data through the first processor (110) may result in relatively higher power consumption within the electronic device (100) than obtaining an eighth set (708-1) of audio data through the second processor (120) by converting the sixth set (706-1) of audio data through the second processor (120). For example, obtaining an eighth set (708-1) of audio data through the second processor (120) by converting the sixth set (706-1) of audio data through the second processor (120) may reduce power consumed within the electronic device (100) to output the seventh audio signals.

[0192] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the ninth set (708-2) of audio data by converting the seventh set (706-2) of audio data using the maximum volume processing unit (707-2). For example, the ninth set (708-2) of audio data can have a maximum volume. For example, the maximum volume can be the maximum volume of the seventh set (706-2) of audio data. For example, in order to improve the sound quality of the seventh set (706-2) of audio data, the second processor (120) can obtain the ninth set (708-2) of audio data.

[0193] For example, obtaining a ninth set (708-2) of audio data through the first processor (110) by converting the seventh set (706-2) of audio data through the first processor (110) may result in relatively higher power consumption within the electronic device (100) than obtaining the ninth set (708-2) of audio data through the second processor (120) by converting the seventh set (706-2) of audio data through the second processor (120). For example, obtaining the ninth set (708-2) of audio data through the second processor (120) by converting the seventh set (706-2) of audio data through the second processor (120) may reduce power consumed within the electronic device (100) to output the eighth audio signals.

[0194] For example, the second processor (120) may include an audio data preprocessing unit (709-1) and an audio data preprocessing unit (709-2). For example, the audio data preprocessing unit (709-1) and the audio data preprocessing unit (709-2) may support a function of processing a set of audio data through an algorithm stored in the memory (300). For example, the audio data preprocessing unit (709-1) and the audio data preprocessing unit (709-2) may process some audio data within a set of audio data. For example, the audio data preprocessing unit (709-1) and the audio data preprocessing unit (709-2) may process some audio data within a set of audio data. For example, the audio data preprocessing unit (709-1) and the audio data preprocessing unit (709-2) may process some audio data within a set of audio data. For example, the audio data preprocessing unit (709-1) and the audio data preprocessing unit (709-2) are described as 'units' for convenience of explanation, but the above functions can be performed software-wise and / or functionally.

[0195] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the tenth set (710-1) of audio data by converting the eighth set (708-1) of audio data using the audio data preprocessing unit (709-1). For example, the eighth set (708-1) of audio data can be set for output through M speakers. For example, the tenth set (710-1) of audio data can be set for output through N speakers. For example, N and M can be natural numbers greater than or equal to 2. For example, N can exceed M. For example, the electronic device (100) can include N speakers.

[0196] For example, obtaining the tenth set (710-1) of audio data through the first processor (110) by converting the eighth set (708-1) of audio data through the first processor (110) may result in relatively higher power consumption within the electronic device (100) than obtaining the tenth set (710-1) of audio data through the second processor (120) by converting the eighth set (708-1) of audio data through the second processor (120).

[0197] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain an eleventh set (710-2) of audio data by converting the ninth set (708-2) of audio data using the audio data preprocessing unit (709-2). For example, the ninth set (708-2) of audio data can be set for output through M speakers. For example, the eleventh set (710-2) of audio data can be set for output through N speakers.

[0198] For example, obtaining an eleventh set (710-2) of audio data through a first processor (110) by converting a ninth set (708-2) of audio data through a first processor (110) may result in relatively higher power consumption within the electronic device (100) than obtaining an eleventh set (710-2) of audio data through a second processor (120) by converting the ninth set (708-2) of audio data through a second processor (120).

[0243] For example, the second processor (120) may process audio data by mixing audio data to be output according to a plurality of audio processing modes. For example, the plurality of audio processing modes may include an audio processing mode for outputting audio signals at an audio processing speed faster than a reference audio processing speed. Mixing audio data to be output according to a plurality of audio processing modes is exemplified in the description of FIG. 10.

[0244] Figure 10 illustrates an example of processing sets of audio data for multiple audio processing modes.

[0245] Referring to FIG. 10, the first processor (110) can obtain a first set (700-1) of audio data and a second set (700-2) of audio data. For example, the first set (700-1) of audio data can be a set of audio data for seventh audio signals. For example, the second set (700-2) of audio data can be a set of audio data for eighth audio signals. For example, the eighth audio signals can be output through at least one speaker (130) while the seventh audio signals are output through at least one speaker (130).

[0246] For example, a first set of audio data (700-1) may include a first type of audio data. For example, the first type may include music. For example, a second set of audio data (700-2) may include a second type of audio data.

[0247] For example, the first processor (110) may identify an audio processing mode for outputting the seventh audio signals and the eighth audio signals. For example, the audio processing mode for outputting the seventh audio signals and the eighth audio signals may be an audio processing mode for outputting audio signals at an audio processing speed faster than a reference audio processing speed.

[0248] For example, the first processor (110) can obtain a third set (702-1) of audio data by applying first volume information to a first set (700-1) of audio data using the first volume processing unit (701-1). For example, the first processor (110) can obtain a fourth set (702-2) of audio data by applying second volume information to a second set (700-2) of audio data using the first volume processing unit (701-2).

[0249] For example, the first processor (110) can mix the third set (702-1) of audio data and the fourth set (702-2) of audio data using the mixer (703).

For example, the fifth set (1000-2) of audio data can correspond to the fifth set (704) of audio data of FIG. 7.

[0250] For example, the first processor (110) can obtain a sixth set (1000-1) of audio data. For example, the sixth set (1000-1) of audio data can be a set of audio data for ten audio signals. For example, the first processor (110) can identify an audio processing mode for outputting the tenth audio signals. For example, the audio processing mode for outputting the tenth audio signals can be an audio processing mode different from an audio processing mode for outputting audio signals at an audio processing speed faster than a reference audio processing speed.

[0251] For example, the first processor (110) may obtain a seventh set (1000-3) of audio data. For example, the seventh set (1000-3) of audio data may be a set of audio data for eleventh audio signals. For example, an audio processing mode for outputting the eleventh audio signals may be a different audio processing mode from an audio processing mode for outputting audio signals at an audio processing speed faster than a reference audio processing speed.

[0252] For example, the first processor (110) may obtain an eighth set (1000-4) of audio data. For example, the eighth set (1000-4) of audio data may be a set of audio data for twelfth audio signals. For example, an audio processing mode for outputting the twelfth audio signals may be a different audio processing mode from an audio processing mode for outputting audio signals at an audio processing speed faster than a reference audio processing speed.

[0253] For example, the first processor (110) may obtain a ninth set (1000-5) of audio data. For example, the ninth set (1000-5) of audio data may be a set of audio data for thirteenth audio signals. For example, an audio processing mode for outputting the thirteenth audio signals may be a different audio processing mode from an audio processing mode for outputting audio signals at an audio processing speed faster than a reference audio processing speed.

[0254] For example, the electronic device (100) may include a first interface (310). For example, the first processor (110) may be electrically directly connected to the second processor (120) via the first interface (310).

[0255] For example, the electronic device (100) may not include a second interface (320). For example, because the electronic device (100) does not include a second interface (320), it may be required to generate a fifth set (1000-2) of audio data by mixing a third set (702-1) of audio data and a fourth set (702-2) of audio data. For example, because the electronic device (100) does not include a second interface (320), the first processor (110) may be required to provide a fifth set (1000-2) of audio data, which is a mixture of the third set (702-1) of audio data and the fourth set (702-2) of audio data, to the second processor (120) via the first interface (310).

For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the ninth set (1000-5) of audio data from the first processor (110) via the first interface (310).

[0261] For example, the second processor (120) may include a mixer (1001). For example, the first processor (110) may mix a sixth set of audio data (1000-1), a fifth set of audio data (1000-2), a seventh set of audio data (1000-3), an eighth set of audio data (1000-4), and a ninth set of audio data (1000-5) using the mixer (1001). For example, the first processor (110) may generate a tenth set of audio data (1002) by mixing a sixth set of audio data (1000-1), a fifth set of audio data (1000-2), a seventh set of audio data (1000-3), an eighth set of audio data (1000-4), and a ninth set of audio data (1000-5).

[0262] For example, the second processor (120) may include an audio data separation unit (1003). For example, the audio data separation unit (1003) may support a function of processing a set of audio data through an algorithm stored in the memory (300). For example, the audio data separation unit (1003) may process some audio data within the set of audio data. For example, the audio data separation unit (1003) is described as a 'unit' for convenience of explanation, but the above function may be performed in software and / or functionally.

[0263] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain an eleventh set (1004-1) of audio data and a twelfth set (1004-2) of audio data from a tenth set (1002) of audio data using the audio data separation unit (1003).

[0264] As a non-limiting example, the audio data separation unit (1003) may include a subtraction algorithm. As a non-limiting example, the second processor (120) may obtain an eleventh set (1004-1) of audio data and a twelfth set (1004-2) of audio data from a tenth set (1002) of audio data using the subtraction algorithm.

[0265] For example, the eleventh set (1004-1) of audio data may include audio data of a first type. For example, the first type may include music. For example, the twelfth set (1004-2) of audio data may include audio data of a second type. For example, the second type may be different from the first type. For example, the second type may include a type of sound other than music. As a non-limiting example, the second type may include notification sounds. As a non-limiting example, the second type may include key tones. As a non-limiting example, the second type may include camera shutter sounds. As a non-limiting example, the second type may include game sound effects. As a non-limiting example, the second type may include system sounds. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0266] For example, the second processor (120) may include a maximum volume processing unit (1005-1) and a maximum volume processing unit (1005-2). For example, the maximum volume processing unit (1005-1) and the maximum volume processing unit (1005-2) may support a function of processing a set of audio data through an algorithm stored in the memory (300). For example, the maximum volume processing unit (1005-1) and the maximum volume processing unit (1005-2) may process some audio data within the set of audio data. For example, the maximum volume processing unit (1005-1) and the maximum volume processing unit (1005-2) are described as 'units' for convenience of explanation, but the above functions may be performed in software and / or functionally.

[0267] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the 13th set (1006-1) of audio data by converting the 11th set (1004-1) of audio data using the maximum volume processing unit (1005-1). For example, the 13th set (1006-1) of audio data can have a maximum volume. For example, the maximum volume can be the maximum volume of the 11th set (1004-1) of audio data. For example, in order to improve the sound quality of the 11th set (1004-1) of audio data, the second processor (120) can obtain the 13th set (1006-1) of audio data.

[0268] For example, obtaining a thirteenth set (1006-1) of audio data through a first processor (110) by converting an eleventh set (1004-1) of audio data through a first processor (110) may result in relatively higher power consumption within the electronic device (100) than obtaining a thirteenth set (1006-1) of audio data through a second processor (120) by converting an eleventh set (1004-1) of audio data through a second processor (120). For example, obtaining a thirteenth set (1006-1) of audio data through a second processor (120) by converting an eleventh set (1004-1) of audio data through a second processor (120) may reduce power consumed within the electronic device (100) to output the seventh audio signals.

[0269] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the fourteenth set (1006-2) of audio data by converting the twelfth set (1004-2) of audio data using the maximum volume processing unit (1005-2). For example, the fourteenth set (1006-2) of audio data can have a maximum volume. For example, the maximum volume can be the maximum volume of the twelfth set (1004-2) of audio data. For example, in order to improve the sound quality of the twelfth set (1004-2) of audio data, the second processor (120) can obtain the fourteenth set (1006-2) of audio data.

For example, the audio data preprocessing unit (1007-1) and the audio data preprocessing unit (1007-2) are described as 'units' for convenience of explanation, but the above functions may be performed in software and / or functionally.

[0272] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the fifteenth set (1008-1) of audio data by converting the thirteenth set (1006-1) of audio data using the audio data preprocessing unit (1007-1).

For example, an audio signal output through the at least one speaker (130) may be interfered with due to the at least one component positioned around the at least one speaker (130). For example, there may be reference information for reducing interference from the at least one component positioned around the at least one speaker (130).

[0284] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain a 19th set (1012-1) of audio data by adjusting at least a portion of the 17th set (1010-1) of audio data using the reference information through the audio data post-processing unit (1011-1). For example, the 19th set (1012-1) of audio data can be a set of audio data that has undergone audio processing on the 17th set (1010-1) of audio data based on the reference information.

[0285] For example, obtaining a nineteenth set (1012-1) of audio data through the first processor (110) by adjusting at least a portion of the seventeenth set (1010-1) of audio data using the reference information through the first processor (110) may result in relatively higher power consumption within the electronic device (100) than obtaining a nineteenth set (1012-1) of audio data through the second processor (120) by adjusting at least a portion of the seventeenth set (1010-1) of audio data using the reference information through the second processor (120). For example, obtaining a nineteenth set (1012-1) of audio data through the second processor (120) by adjusting at least a portion of the seventeenth set (1010-1) of audio data using the reference information through the second processor (120) may reduce power consumed within the electronic device (100) to output the seventh audio signals.

[0286] For example, the second processor (120) can obtain the 20th set (1012-2) of audio data by adjusting at least a portion of the 18th set (1010-2) of audio data using the reference information through the audio data post-processing unit (1011-2). For example, the 20th set (1012-2) of audio data can be a set of audio data that has undergone audio processing on the 18th set (1010-2) of audio data based on the reference information.

[0287] For example, obtaining the 20th set (1012-2) of audio data through the first processor (110) by adjusting at least a portion of the 18th set (1010-2) of audio data using the reference information through the first processor (110) may result in relatively higher power consumption within the electronic device (100) than obtaining the 20th set (1012-2) of audio data through the second processor (120) by adjusting at least a portion of the 18th set (1010-2) of audio data using the reference information through the second processor (120). For example, obtaining the 20th set (1012-2) of audio data through the second processor (120) by adjusting at least a portion of the 18th set (1010-2) of audio data using the reference information through the second processor (120) may reduce power consumed within the electronic device (100) to output the 8th audio signals.

[0288] For example, the second processor (120) may include a mixer (1013). For example, the second processor (120) may mix a nineteenth set (1012-1) of audio data and a twentieth set (1012-2) of audio data using the mixer (1013). For example, the second processor (120) may generate a twenty-first set (1014) of audio data by mixing the nineteenth set (1012-1) of audio data and the twentieth set (1012-2) of audio data.

[0289] For example, the second processor (120) may provide a twenty-first set (1014) of audio data to at least one speaker (130). For example, the twenty-first set (1014) of audio data may be an audio data set for fourteenth audio signals (1016). For example, the fourteenth audio signals (1016) may be audio signals that are mixed with the seventh audio signals, the eighth audio signals, the tenth audio signals, the eleventh audio signals, the twelfth audio signals, and the thirteenth audio signals.

[0290] For example, at least one speaker (130) may include an audio output unit (1015). For example, the audio output unit (1015) may support a function of processing a set of audio data through an algorithm stored in the memory (300). For example, the audio output unit (1015) may process some audio data within the set of audio data. For example, the audio output unit (1015) is described as a 'unit' for convenience of explanation, but the above function may be performed software-wise and / or functionally.

[0291] For example, the audio output unit (1015) can convert the twenty-first set (1014) of audio data into fourteenth audio signals (1016). For example, the second processor (120) can output the fourteenth audio signals (1016) through the audio output unit (1015) of at least one speaker (130).
