  • Patent number: 10362433
    Abstract: An electronic device providing a smart sound mode is provided. The electronic device includes: a user command receiver; an inputter; an outputter; and a processor configured to: in response to a predetermined event occurring, provide a user interface (UI) for guiding setting of a smart sound mode; in response to the smart sound mode being selected according to a user command input through the user command receiver, individually render a first sound signal which is a common component among a plurality of channels forming the sound signal and a second sound signal which is a differential component among the plurality of channels based on whether the first sound signal comprises a voice and whether the second sound signal comprise a sound effect, mix the first and second sound signals which are rendered into a multi-channel sound signal and control the outputter to output the multi-channel sound signal.

  • Patent number: 10318234
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a speaker, a storage configured to store first rendering type information and second rendering type information based on a volume level of each content genre; a display, and a processor configured to render a sound signal of a content based on at least one of the first rendering type information and the second rendering type information corresponding to a genre of the content on the display and output the rendered sound signal through the speaker, wherein the processor, based on a volume level which is currently set in the display apparatus being within a predetermined range, renders the sound signal based on third rendering type information which is obtained by applying a weight according to the set volume level to at least one of the first rendering type information and the second rendering type information.

  • Patent number: 8834625
    Abstract: Provided are an ultra-rapid hardening hydraulic binder including reduced slag powder and a method of preparing the same. The reduced slag powder is prepared by rapidly cooling molten electric arc furnace reduced slag, among by-products generated during an iron refinement process in a steel mill, to room temperature not to have free-calcium oxide by scattering the molten electric arc furnace reduced slag into the air using high-pressure gas by dropping the molten electric arc furnace reduced slag through a tundish.
