For example, the object may be a jacket of the LP (long playing record) album type, but is not limited thereto. According to one example, the size of the object may be such that it can be mounted at a specific location on the electronic device (100) (e.g., the front of the electronic device (100)), but is not limited thereto. Meanwhile, in the present disclosure, 'mounting' may be a concept that includes 'insertion'.

[0049] According to one example, the processor (130) can identify whether an object corresponding to sound content is mounted at a first location corresponding to the electronic device (100). According to one example, the first location may be a location corresponding to the front of the electronic device (100), but is not limited thereto. According to one example, the first location may be a pre-set location within the electronic device (100) where an object can be mounted.

[0050] According to one example, it may be assumed that the object includes a Near Field Communication (NFC) label. The processor (130) can identify whether the object is mounted at a first location by using a Near Field Communication (NFC) reader included in the electronic device (100). For example, the processor (130) can identify that the object is mounted at the first location if, through the NFC reader, it is identified that an NFC label corresponding to the object is located within a preset distance from the electronic device (100).

[0051] Alternatively, depending on one example, it may be assumed that the object includes an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag. The processor (130) may identify whether the object is mounted at the first location using an RFID reader included in the electronic device (100). For example, the processor (130) may identify that the object is mounted at the first location if, through the RFID reader, it is identified that an RFID tag corresponding to the object is located within a preset distance from the electronic device (100), but is not limited thereto.

[0052] Alternatively, according to one example, the processor (130) may identify whether an object is mounted at a first location based on sensing data obtained through at least one sensor (e.g., at least one sensor (170) of FIG. 12). For example, at least one sensor may include a camera sensor. The processor (130) may identify a QR (quick response) code contained in the object through the camera sensor. The processor (130) may identify that the object is mounted at a first location when the QR code is identified.

[0053] Alternatively, for example, a case may be assumed in which at least one sensor includes a magnetic sensor. In the case where the object includes a magnetic stripe, the processor (130) may identify the object as being mounted at a first position based on sensing data obtained by inserting the object at a preset position corresponding to the electronic device (100).

[0054] Meanwhile, according to one example, the electronic device (100) may include a configuration capable of mounting or holding an object.

[0057] For example, the processor (130) can obtain metadata corresponding to sound content from an NFC label included in an object via an NFC reader. Alternatively, for example, the processor (130) may obtain metadata based on a QR code or RFID tag included in an object.

[0058] According to one embodiment, the processor (130) can output sound content through a speaker. According to one example, the processor (130) can output sound content obtained from an external device through a communication circuit through a speaker based on acquired metadata.

[0059] According to one example, the processor (130) may acquire at least one of identification information and communication connection information corresponding to audio content based on metadata. The processor (130) may acquire audio content from an external device (e.g., a server corresponding to a content provider) based on at least one of the acquired identification information and communication connection information. According to one example, the processor (130) may acquire audio content from an external device in real time and output (or stream) it, but is not limited thereto.

[0060] According to one example, the identification information may include at least one of a link to a music file contained in an album, an artist name, an album name, a track included in the album, a playback mode, or a unique identifier of the album, but is not limited thereto.

[0061] According to one example, the processor (130) can obtain identification information and communication connection information from metadata based on information stored in memory (140). For example, information mapped to each of the metadata may be stored in memory (140). The processor (130) can obtain identification information and communication connection information based on information mapped to the metadata.

[0062] According to the example described above, the user can easily receive sound content by attaching a physical album-shaped object to the electronic device (100). Accordingly, the user can receive an analog music listening experience.

[0063] When an object is mounted on the electronic device (100), the electronic device (100) can acquire content from an external content provider based on sensing data acquired through short-range wireless communication technology or a sensor and provide it to the user, and the usability and convenience of the user can be increased.

For example, the electronic device (100) can identify whether an object is attached based on sensing data obtained through a camera sensor. Alternatively, the electronic device (100) may identify whether an object is attached based on sensing data obtained through a magnetic sensor.

[0093] Alternatively, for example, the electronic device (100) may identify that the object is detached if, through an NFC reader, it is identified that an NFC label corresponding to the object does not exist within a preset distance from the electronic device (100). Alternatively, for example, if the electronic device (100) includes an RFID reader, the electronic device (100) may identify that the object is detached from a first location if, through the RFID reader, it is identified that an RFID tag corresponding to the object does not exist within a preset distance from the electronic device (100).

[0094] According to one embodiment, the operation method may include an operation (S720) of stopping the playback of sound content when it is identified that the object has been detached.

[0095] According to one example, the electronic device (100) may stop playing audio content when it is identified that an object has been detached. For example, the electronic device (100) may control an output device (120, e.g., a speaker) to stop playing audio content that was currently being streamed.

[0096] FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a method for outputting mixed sound according to one embodiment.

[0097] According to FIG. 8, according to one embodiment, the operation method may include an operation (S810) of mixing the acquired sound content and sound corresponding to a preset type of noise. According to one example, the electronic device (100) may mix the acquired sound content and sound corresponding to a preset type of noise.

[0098] According to one example, the electronic device (100) can identify noise of a preset type. According to one example, the noise of a preset type may be LP stylus noise including at least one of LP stylus landing noise, tonearm lifting noise, and surface noise. According to one example, the sound corresponding to the LP stylus noise may be stored in memory (140)(140), but is not limited thereto, and according to one example, the electronic device (100) may acquire the sound corresponding to the noise from an external device including a user terminal.

[0099] In one example, LP stylus landing noise may be noise that occurs when the needle (or stylus) of an LP record player first touches the surface of the record. In one example, tonearm lifting noise may be noise that occurs when the tonearm is lifted from an LP record player. In one example, surface noise may be noise that occurs in the section (or blank section) after the playback of music corresponding to the LP record is completed, but is not limited thereto.

[0100] According to one example, the electronic device (100) may identify a playback section corresponding to each noise and insert the noise into the identified playback section. For example, the sound corresponding to LP stylus landing noise may be inserted in a section before the sound content is played. Or, for example, surface noise may be inserted in a section after the playback of the sound content is completed. Or, for example, tonearm lifting noise may be inserted in a time section after a preset time has elapsed after the playback of the sound content is completed. However, it is not limited thereto. This will be explained in detail through FIG. 9.

[0101] Alternatively, depending on one example, the noise of a preset type may be not only LP stylus noise, but also noise corresponding to a CD (compact disc), noise corresponding to a MD (mini disk), and noise corresponding to a tape (cassette tape). For example, in the case of noise corresponding to a tape, it may include noise corresponding to mechanical sounds that occur at the start or end of tape playback. Alternatively, for example, noise corresponding to a CD may include at least one of noise generated during the process of converting a digital signal to an analog signal, optical pick-up focusing, and tracking noise. Alternatively, for example, noise corresponding to an MD may include noise generated by the mechanical operation of an MD player, but is not limited thereto.

[0102] According to one example, information regarding sound corresponding to each type of noise may be stored in memory (140), but is not limited thereto, and according to one example, the electronic device (100) may obtain sound corresponding to the above-described noise from an external device including a user terminal.

[0103] According to one embodiment, the operation method may include an operation (S820) of outputting the mixed sound through a speaker. According to one example, the electronic device (100) may output the sound mixed with noise through a speaker.

[0104] FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a method for mixing sound according to one embodiment.

[0105] According to FIG. 9, according to one embodiment, the operation method may include an operation (S910) of identifying a plurality of noises corresponding to each of the identified plurality of playback segments when a plurality of playback segments are identified based on information about acquired sound content.

[0106] According to one example, the electronic device (100) may obtain information about sound content. According to one example, the information about sound content may include information about the playback time corresponding to each sub-content (e.g., track) included in the sound content. According to one example, the information about the playback time may include information about the playback start time and playback end time of each track. According to one example, the electronic device (100) may obtain information about the sound content along with the sound content from an external device.

[0107] According to one example, the electronic device (100) can identify a playback section within the sound content. According to one example, the electronic device (100) can identify a playback section based on information about the sound content. The electronic device (100) can identify a first playback section prior to the playback of music. Or, according to one example, the electronic device (100) can identify a second playback section corresponding to a time point from when the playback of a first sub-content included in the sound content is completed until when the playback of a second sub-content following the first sub-content begins.

[0108] According to one example, the electronic device (100) can identify LP stylus landing noise as noise corresponding to a first playback section. Or, according to one example, the electronic device (100) can identify surface noise as noise corresponding to a second playback section. However, it is not limited thereto.

[0109] Alternatively, according to one example, the electronic device (100) may identify a third playback period from the point in time when the playback of the last sub-content included in the sound content is completed until a preset time has elapsed. Alternatively, according to one example, the electronic device (100) may identify a fourth playback period from the point in time when the aforementioned third playback period ends until a preset time has elapsed.

[0110] According to one example, the electronic device (100) can identify surface noise as noise corresponding to a third playback section. According to one example, the electronic device (100) can identify tonearm lifting noise as noise corresponding to a fourth playback section.

[0111] According to one embodiment, the operation method may include an operation (S920) of mixing sound so that noise identified in each of a plurality of playback sections is played.

[0112] According to one example, the electronic device (100) can mix the sound so that the noise is played in the corresponding playback section when noise corresponding to each of the plurality of playback sections corresponding to the sound content is identified.

[0113] For example, the electronic device (100) may mix sound content and sound corresponding to noise so that long playing record stylus landing noise is played in the first playback section. Or, for example, the electronic device (100) may mix sound so that surface noise is played in the second playback section. Or, for example, the electronic device (100) may mix sound so that surface noise is played in the third playback section. Or, for example, the electronic device (100) may identify tonearm lifting noise as noise corresponding to the fourth playback section.

[0114] According to one example, the electronic device (100) can output sound content mixed with sound corresponding to noise through a speaker.

[0115] FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a method for outputting sound content of a preset type according to one embodiment.

[0116] According to FIG. 10, according to one embodiment, the operation method may include an operation (S1010) of acquiring sound content of a preset type.

[0117] According to one example, the electronic device (100) may acquire sound content of a preset type. According to one example, the sound content of a preset type may be sound content corresponding to a different type of audio format. For example, the sound content of a preset type may include any one of a general 2-channel sound content, a 2-channel sound content to which a lossless algorithm is applied to improve the quality of the sound source, and a sound content to which an algorithm is applied to convert the sound source into multi-dimensional surround sound (e.g., Dolby ATMOS multi-channel sound source, etc.), but is not limited thereto.

[0118] According to one example, the electronic device (100) can acquire sound content of a preset type based on user input. For example, when the electronic device (100) receives user input to play 2-channel sound content to which a lossless algorithm is applied, it can acquire 2-channel sound content to which a lossless algorithm is applied from an external device via a communication circuit (110) based on this. Alternatively, for example, when the electronic device (100) receives user input to play sound content to which an algorithm for converting into 3-dimensional surround sound is applied, it can acquire sound content to which an algorithm for converting into 3-dimensional surround sound is applied from an external device via a communication circuit (110) based on this.

[0119] According to one embodiment, the operation method may include an operation (S1020) of outputting acquired sound content through a speaker. According to one example, the electronic device (100) may output acquired sound content of a certain type through an output device (120, e.g., a speaker). For example, the electronic device (100) may output 2-channel sound content to which a Lossless algorithm is applied, acquired based on user input, through the output device (120, e.g., a speaker). Or, for example, the electronic device (100) may output sound content to which an algorithm for converting into 3-dimensional surround sound is applied, acquired based on user input, through the output device (120, e.g., a speaker).

[0120] However, it is not limited to this, and according to one example, the electronic device (100) may output general 2-channel audio content through the speaker (120) when no separate user input is received.

[0121] FIGS. 11a and FIGS. 11b are drawings for explaining a method for identifying the mounting direction of an object according to one embodiment.

[0122] Referring to FIG. 11a and FIG. 11b, according to one embodiment, the electronic device (100) can identify the mounting direction of the object (10).

[0123] According to one example, the electronic device (100) can identify the mounting direction of the object (10) based on sensing data obtained through at least one sensor. According to one example, the at least one sensor may include a camera sensor or an infrared sensor. According to one example, the electronic device (100) can identify the mounting direction of the object (10) or the surface on which the object (10) is mounted based on sensing data obtained through at least one of the camera sensor or the infrared sensor. Alternatively, according to one example, the electronic device (100) may use a combination of sensing data obtained from the camera sensor and the infrared sensor, respectively. According to one example, the mounting direction of the object (10) may mean the direction in which the object is rotated and mounted on the electronic device (100), as illustrated in FIG. 11a and FIG. 11b, but is not limited thereto.

[0124] Alternatively, according to one example, the electronic device (100) may identify the mounting direction of the object (10) or the surface on which the object (10) is mounted based on sensing data obtained from at least one sensor (e.g., a magnetic sensor) included in the sliding bracket (600 and 601).

[0125] According to one example, when an object (10) is mounted to an electronic device (100) in a first mounting direction as illustrated in FIG. 11a, sound content may be provided in a corresponding playback option scenario. For example, the playback option scenario corresponding to the first mounting direction may be a forward playback mode. According to one example, the forward playback mode may be a mode in which sub-sound content is played in the order listed in the playlist.

[0126] Alternatively, according to one example, when the object (10) is mounted to the electronic device (100) in a second mounting direction as illustrated in FIG. 11b, sound content may be provided in a playback option scenario corresponding to the second mounting direction. For example, the playback option scenario corresponding to the second mounting direction may be a reverse playback mode. According to one example, the reverse playback mode may be a mode (or reverse playback mode) in which sub-sound content is played in an order opposite to the order listed in the playlist.

[0127] However, it is not limited thereto, and it is understood that the object (10) may be mounted on the electronic device (100) in a mounting direction different from the mounting direction shown in FIG. 11a and FIG. 11b. According to one example, the playback option scenario may include different types of playback modes, including forward playback mode, reverse playback mode, repeat playback mode, and shuffle playback mode, and information regarding the mounting direction corresponding to each playback option scenario may be stored in the memory (140). The electronic device (100) may identify the playback option scenario based on the direction in which the object (10) is mounted on the electronic device (100) and provide sound content based thereon.

[0128] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (100) can identify the playback order of at least one sub-content included in the audio content based on the identified mounting direction. According to one example, the at least one sub-content may mean at least one track included in the audio content. According to one example, the electronic device (100) can identify the playback order of the sub-content based on the mounting direction and control the speaker so that the sub-content is output according to the identified playback order.

[0129] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (100) may identify the playback order based on the surface on which the object (10) is mounted. According to one example, the surface on which the object (10) is mounted may be the front or the rear. According to one example, the electronic device (100) may identify whether the mounting surface is the front or the rear based on sensing data obtained from a camera sensor. Alternatively, the electronic device (100) may identify whether the mounting surface is the front or the rear based on sensing data obtained from an infrared sensor.

[0130] Alternatively, according to one example, the electronic device (100) can identify whether the mounting surface is the front or the back based on an NFC label. For example, if an NFC label is included on the front and back of the object (10), the electronic device (100) can identify whether the mounting surface is the front or the back based on information obtained from the NFC label.

[0131] Alternatively, according to one example, the electronic device (100) may identify whether the mounting surface is the front or the rear based on an RFID tag. For example, if an RFID tag is included on the front and rear of the object (10), the electronic device (100) may identify whether the mounting surface is the front or the rear based on information obtained from the RFID tag.

[0132] According to one example, the electronic device (100) may identify whether the mounting surface is the front or the rear by using sensing data obtained from a sensor together with information obtained from a near-field communication circuit (NFC reader or RFID reader).

[0133] According to one example, when the mounting surface is the front, the electronic device (100) may play sub-content corresponding to the front and then play sub-content corresponding to the rear. However, it is not limited thereto. According to one example, the electronic device (100) may play sub-content in a basic playback mode when the mounting surface is the front, and play sub-content in a reverse playback mode when the mounting surface is the rear.

[0134] According to one example, the electronic device (100) can change the playback mode based on user input. For example, if user input corresponding to a random playback mode is received from an external electronic device (100) (e.g., a user terminal) through a communication circuit, the electronic device (100) can randomly play sub-content.

[0135] According to one example, a plurality of objects may be mounted on the electronic device (100). For example, a first object and a second object may be mounted at a first location within the electronic device (100) and a second location within the electronic device (100), respectively. According to one example, the second location may be a location within the electronic device (100) that is different from the first location. For example, the second object may be mounted in a state where it overlaps with the first object. According to one example, when a plurality of objects are mounted, the electronic device (100) may play audio content corresponding to each object in a preset order. For example, the electronic device (100) may start playing the second object after the playback for the first object, which was inserted first, has ended. Alternatively, the electronic device (100) may randomly play audio content corresponding to the first object and audio content corresponding to the second object.

[0136] Meanwhile, according to one example, the electronic device (100) may receive user input using a neural network model trained to perform voice recognition. For example, when a user voice to play a specific track within audio content is received through a microphone, the electronic device (100) may input this into a trained neural network model to identify the user command and play the specific track based on the identified user command.
