  • Patent number: 9967658
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic includes a camera module and a processor configured to capture at least one image of an object using the camera module, obtain a sound using a microphone operably connected to the processor when the at least one image is captured, determine whether the sound is related to the object, when the sound is determined to be unrelated to the object, change at least one attribute of the sound and store the changed at least one attribute of the sound.

  • Publication number: 20150181333
    Abstract: A method of reducing noise is provided. The method includes determining whether an audio output of the audio source has interference based on a sampling frequency and an operating frequency of at least one device element e, and maintaining or changing the operating frequency of the at least one device element depending on whether interference is determined.

  • Patent number: 8989689
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for setting a modulation frequency within a non-use frequency range so as to reduce ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) occurring during frequency modulation in a portable terminal are provided. The apparatus includes a controller and a frequency set unit. At frequency modulation, the controller determines whether a modulation frequency corresponds to a frequency inducing EMI. In a case where it is determined that the modulation frequency corresponds to the frequency inducing EMI, the frequency set unit resets the modulation frequency.
