Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users often face challenges in synchronizing auditory data across multiple electronic devices, leading to inconsistent sound processing and user experience, especially when devices lack pre-stored auditory data.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a communication circuit, microphone, speaker, and processor that requests and receives auditory data from connected devices, corrects sound data based on user auditory characteristics, and synthesizes it with audio data for improved output.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If auditory data is not pre-stored in each electronic device, then device memory requirements are reduced, but sound processing consistency across devices deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the auditory data storage and processing functions across multiple electronic devices into a unified system. When one device (e.g., mobile phone) lacks auditory data, it automatically requests and receives the data from another connected device (e.g., wearable device or hearing device), ensuring consistent sound processing across the device ecosystem while reducing individual device memory requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The auditory data obtained from any connected electronic device becomes universally usable across the entire device ecosystem. The system allows auditory data to be shared and utilized by multiple devices (mobile phone, wearable device, hearing device) through communication circuits, making the data universally applicable rather than device-specific
2Measurement precision
If auditory data is manually measured and stored in each device, then sound processing accuracy is improved, but user convenience and operation time are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic auditory data acquisition through self-service mechanisms. When auditory data is needed, the electronic device automatically sends requests to connected devices and receives the required data without requiring user intervention for manual measurement or configuration, thereby maintaining sound processing accuracy while significantly improving user convenience
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically obtaining and storing auditory data from connected devices before it is needed for sound processing. This proactive approach ensures that auditory data is readily available when required, eliminating the need for users to perform manual measurements at the moment of need
3Productivity
If auditory data is shared across multiple devices, then data correction speed is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces communication circuits as intermediaries that facilitate automatic auditory data sharing between electronic devices. These communication circuits handle the complexity of data exchange protocols, device identification, and data transmission, thereby enabling fast auditory data sharing across devices while shielding users from the underlying system complexity

AI summary
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication circuit, a speaker, a microphone, a memory, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine whether there is auditory data stored in the memory of the electronic device when an external electronic device is connected thereto through the communication circuit, send a request for auditory data to the external electronic device when there is no auditory data stored in the memory, receive the auditory data from the external electronic device, correct data, at the electronic device, about the sound received through the microphone using the auditory data, receive corrected audio data from the external electronic device, synthesize the corrected data about the sound and the corrected audio data received from the external device to obtain first synthesized data, and output a first new sound corresponding to the first synthesized data through the speaker.
