Audio Apparatus Control for Content-Synchronized Lighting and Sound
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing audio systems lack the ability to control both display and audio apparatuses in conjunction with each other based on input content, leading to suboptimal user experience in multimedia environments.
Innovation Solution
An audio system that includes an audio apparatus with a lighting module and sound output portion, and a display apparatus capable of communicating with the audio apparatus to control lighting and sound output based on content type, genre, and user-defined screen modes, allowing synchronized adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If audio systems control display and audio apparatuses independently, then device complexity is reduced, but user experience and system coordination are deteriorated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the display apparatus and audio apparatus into a unified audio system with centralized control. The controller integrates functions to manage both display content and audio output, enabling coordinated operation based on input content type. This merging allows the system to adapt lighting and sound settings together, resolving the contradiction between system coordination and device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller in the audio system is designed with multi-functionality, capable of managing both display apparatus operations and audio apparatus operations. It can identify input content types and automatically adjust both visual and audio parameters, providing universal control that improves system coordination without requiring separate complex control mechanisms for each device.
2Adaptability or versatility
If audio systems provide basic sound output, then device complexity is reduced, but user experience in multimedia environments is deteriorated
Solution Approach 1:
The audio system implements dynamic control of sound output and lighting effects based on the identified type of input content. The controller continuously monitors content characteristics and adjusts audio parameters and lighting intensity in real-time, creating an adaptive multimedia experience. This dynamic behavior enhances user experience while maintaining a unified control architecture that manages the complexity.

AI summary
An audio system includes an audio apparatus including a lighting module and a sound output portion; and a display apparatus including an input portion configured to communicate with the audio apparatus and transmit information about a type of input content displayable through the display apparatus that is identified based on data of the input content or a screen mode input by a user through the input portion. The audio apparatus is configured to control the lighting module and the sound output portion based on at least one of the information about the type of the input content received from the display apparatus or the screen mode input by the user.
