  • Publication number: 20240127835
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a communication circuit, a speaker, and a processor. The processor is configured to identify a bitrate of a first audio bitstream received via the communication circuit from an external electronic device. The processor is configured to obtain, in response to the bitrate lower than a reference value, an audio signal by executing a bandwidth extension (BWE) for the first audio bitstream based on at least one coding parameter obtained from a second audio bitstream previously received via the communication circuit from the external electronic device before the first audio bitstream. The processor is configured to obtain, in response to the bitrate higher than or equal to the reference value, the audio signal for the first audio bitstream without executing the BWE. The processor is configured to output, based on the audio signal, audio via the speaker.

  • Patent number: 11908432
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for automatically controlling a screen brightness of an AVN system are provided to automatically change screen brightness in a user customized manner in a response to a change in illumination outside the vehicle. The apparatus include a screen brightness control module that controls such that a screen brightness of a display provided in the AVN system is automatically changed according to a change in the illumination data received from the illumination sensor, based on a default matching relationship between previously stored illumination data and screen brightness and a gain adjustment module that generates a new customized matching relationship by correcting the screen brightness matched to each illumination data based on the default matching relationship in accordance with an input of a user who adjusts to enhance or weaken the screen brightness and provides the screen brightness control module with the new customized matching relationship for screen brightness control.
