AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing wireless audio devices and electronic devices face challenges in controlling operations in environments with restricted hand use or high ambient noise, such as crowded spaces or when wearing gloves, where voice input is limited and difficult to implement.

Method used

The electronic device employs non-verbal input methods, including humming sounds and head movements, detected by a wireless audio device, to control operations, with adaptive threshold settings to enhance recognition accuracy in noisy environments.

Benefits of technology

Enables effective control of electronic devices through non-verbal inputs, maintaining privacy and reducing malfunctions by using adaptive thresholds and preprocessing to distinguish valid commands from ambient noise and user activity.

Abstract

Disclosed is an electronic device comprising a communication circuit, a processor, and a memory. The electronic device may acquire ambient noise information and motion information by using a head-mounted device communicatively connected thereto, and determine a threshold value on the basis of the ambient noise information and / or the motion information. The electronic device may perform an operation corresponding to a command pattern when a similarity between a stored command pattern and a non-verbal input including at least one of a humming pattern or a motion pattern acquired from an external device exceeds a threshold value during activation of a non-verbal mode.
