  • Publication number: 20230410788
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a communication module and a processor operatively connected to the communication module. The processor is configured to: receive and store a first speech voice related to at least a first external device, and a second speech voice related to a second external device; if individual speech is detected, transmit the first speech voice or the second speech voice having a first playback speed to at least a first external device and a second external device; and, if simultaneous speech is detected, convert, into a second playback speed different from the first playback speed, at least a part of a synthesized voice in which at least first overlap speech of the first speech voice and at least second overlap speech of the second speech voice are successively connected, and transmit the synthesized voice to the at least first external device and the second external device.

  • Publication number: 20230156399
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a plurality of microphones disposed at different positions in the electronic device, a processor configured to collect input signals input to each of the microphones, acquire direction of arrival (DOA) information corresponding to each of the microphones from the input signals, calculate generation directions of the input signals using the DOA information, adjust a weight of an input signal for each of the microphones, based on the generation directions of the input signals, and generate an output signal for each of the microphones by reflecting the weight adjusted for each of the microphones, and a speaker configured to output an output signal for each of the microphones.

  • Patent number: 9723408
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a circuit electrically connected to first and second contacts and a processor electrically connected to the circuit, wherein the circuit compares a first signal occurring by an electrical contact of the first contact and the external material with a first threshold value to generate a first comparison signal, compares a second signal occurring by an electrical contact of the second contact and the external material with a second threshold value to generate a second comparison signal, and generates a third signal based on a portion of the first and second comparison signals and provides the third signal to the processor, wherein the external material includes one of moisture and a foreign substance or the external connector, and the processor prevents recognizing a contact of the moisture or the foreign substance as a contact of the external connector based on a portion of the third signal.
