Abstract

An electronic device capable of adjusting output sound is disclosed. The electronic device determines hearing state of a user by voiceprint recognition, and adjusts frequency of output sound, such that the output sound coincides with the hearing state of the user.

Claims (29)

1. An electronic device capable of adjusting output sound, comprising:

a microphone, used for receiving a voice message issued by a user;

a processing unit, electrically connected to the microphone, wherein the processing unit comprising:

a response message acquiring module, used for acquiring an original response voice message correspondingly adopted to reply to the voice message;

a sound comparison module, used for analyzing the voice message to acquire a voiceprint data, and comparing to determine if the voiceprint data coincides with a built-in voiceprint data;

a determining module, used for determining the age of the user according to the voice message when the voiceprint data does not coincide with the built-in voiceprint data, and determining an estimated hearing parameter according to the determined age; and

a sound adjustment module, used for adjusting a sound frequency of the original response voice message according to the estimated hearing parameter, to generate a first response voice message; and

a speaker, electrically connected to the processing unit, used for outputing the first response voice message.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processing unit further comprises a data lookup module, which acquires a user's hearing parameter corresponding to the built-in voiceprint data when the voiceprint data coincides with the built-in voiceprint data; the sound adjustment module also adjusts the sound frequency of the original response voice message according to the user's hearing parameter, to generate a second response voice message; the speaker outputs the second response voice message.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sound adjustment module further adjusts the sound frequency of the original response voice message according to a preset hearing parameter to generate a second response voice message when the voiceprint data coincides with the built-in voiceprint data; the speaker outputs the second response voice message.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the response message acquiring module analyzes the voice message, and acquires the original response voice message according to the analysis result.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is electrically connected to a server system, and the response message acquiring module first sends the voice message to the server system, and then receives the original response voice message from the server system, and the original response voice message is acquired by the server system according to the result of analyzing the voice message.

6. A method of adjusting output sound, applicable to an electronic device, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving a voice message issued by a user;

acquiring an original response voice message correspondingly adopted to reply to the voice message;

analyzing the voice message to acquire a voiceprint data, and comparing to determine if the voiceprint data coincides with a built-in voiceprint data;

if no, determining the age of the user according to the voice message, and determining an estimated hearing parameter according to the determined age;

adjusting a sound frequency of the original response voice message, according to the estimated hearing parameter, to generate a first response voice message; and

outputting the first response voice message.

7. The method of adjusting output sound as claimed in claim 6 , wherein if the voiceprint data coincides with the built-in voiceprint data, the method further comprising the steps of:

acquiring a user's hearing parameter corresponding to the built-in voiceprint data; and

adjusting the sound frequency of the original response voice message according to the user's hearing parameter to generate a second response voice message.

8. The method of adjusting output sound as claimed in claim 6 , wherein if the voiceprint data coincides with the built-in voiceprint data, the method further comprising the steps of:

adjusting the sound frequency of the original response voice message, according to a preset hearing parameter, to generate the second response voice message.

9. The method of adjusting output sound as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the step of acquiring the original response voice message comprising:

analyzing the voice message, and acquiring the original response voice message according to the analysis result.

10. The method of adjusting output sound as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the electronic device is electrically connected to a server system, and the step of acquiring the original response voice message comprising:

sending the voice message to the server system, such that the server system acquiring the original response voice message according to the result of analyzing the voice message; and

receiving the original response voice message from the server system.
