  • Publication number: 20180329675
    Abstract: An electronic device and method for identifying the type of earphone and controlling audio output based on the identified type of the earphone. The electronic device includes an interface configured to detect an input of an earphone having a first audio output module with a first impedance value and a second audio output module with a second impedance value, and a processor configured to control the interface to detect the input of the earphone, check the first impedance value of the first audio output module and the second impedance value of the second output module, determine a type of the earphone based on at least the first and second impedance values, and adjust a characteristic related to the audio output of the electronic device based on the determined type of the earphone.

  • Patent number: 10129636
    Abstract: An electronic device having a speaker device. The electronic device may include a housing, a speaker device disposed inside the housing, and a sound generation circuit electrically connected to the speaker device. The speaker device may include a sound generation plate movable in a first direction, and a sound reflection construction facing the sound generation plate to form a space between the sound generation plate and the sound reflection construction. The sound generation plate includes a first surface disposed substantially at a center of the sound generation plate, the first surface having a convex shape when viewed from inside the space, and the sound reflection construction includes a second surface substantially aligned with the first surface along an axis of the housing, the second surface having a concave shape when viewed from inside the space.

  • Patent number: 10051370
    Abstract: A method and an electronic device for outputting an audio signal in the electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first speaker, a second speaker, and an audio processor that creates, from an audio signal, a first frequency audio signal corresponding to a first frequency band by using a low pass filter, synthesizes the created first frequency audio signal and the audio signal to create a synthetic audio signal, creates, from the synthetic audio signal, a second frequency audio signal corresponding to a second frequency band by using a high pass filter, outputs the created second frequency audio signal through the first speaker, and outputs the created synthetic audio signal through the second speaker.
