Patent number: 7764796Abstract: A control circuit for a signal strength information dependant frequency response adaptation of an audio signal for an electrodynamic transducer, with a signal strength information determinator for determining a signal strength information according to a level of the audio signal, and a frequency modifier for frequency selectively modifying the audio signal in response to the signal strength information. The electrodynamic transducer converts the audio signal into a low distortion sound signal for high levels of an audio signal and has a flat frequency response for low levels of an audio signal. A lower frequency range of the audio signal is modified with a gain that is different to a gain of a higher frequency range of the audio signal. A frequency separating the lower frequency range from the higher frequency range is shifted towards higher values for an increasing level of the audio signal and towards lower values for a decreasing level of the audio signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2003Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications ABInventor: Thomas Lechner

Publication number: 20070022869Abstract: A reproduction of a music file is modified for adapting a reproduction of the audio data contained in the music file to the characteristic of a small size loudspeaker on a mobile terminal of a wireless communication system so that the audibility of the respective music or polyphonic sound contained in the music file is improved. For example, audio data which represent a sound with a spectral component below the transmission frequency range of the loudspeaker are identified in the music file, and the reproduction of sound from the identified audio data is modified such that the modified sound reproduction yields a sound spectrum having an increased energy content within the transmission frequency range of the loudspeaker as compared to a sound spectrum of an unmodified reproduction. Related apparatus and computer program products are also discussed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2004Publication date: February 1, 2007Inventor: Thomas Lechner

Patent number: 6205091Abstract: In a solar-powered, radio-controlled timepiece an incorrect display can occur before the operating voltage definitively falls below the switch-off level if each pulse for the electromechanical transducer is no longer sufficient for advancing the display. A step monitor senses such an insufficient pulse and triggers a reset command in order to switch on the radio signal receiver for automatically correcting the hands position to the absolute time which is decoded from the current time telegram.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 1998Date of Patent: March 20, 2001Assignee: Junghans Uhren GmbHInventors: Holger Rudolph, Thomas Lechner, Johannes Neudecker
