Abstract

A method for adjusting playing sound in a sound playing system is disclosed. The sound playing system includes a camera module, a facial analysis module, a sound inputting module, a sound adjustment module, and a speaker. The method includes: obtaining an image of a face of each one of a plurality of people through the camera module; analyzing the image to estimate the age of each one of the plurality of people through the facial analysis module, and obtaining a target age according to the age of each person; obtaining a playing sound through the sound inputting module; adjusting the playing sound according to the target age through the sound adjustment module to obtain an output sound; and playing the output sound through the speaker.

Claims (21)

1. A method for adjusting playing sound, applied to a sound playing system, wherein the sound playing system comprises a camera module, a facial analysis module, a sound inputting module, a sound adjustment module, and a speaker, the method comprising:

obtaining an image of a face of each one of a plurality of people through the camera module;

analyzing the image to estimate an age of each one of the plurality of people through the facial analysis module, and obtaining a target age according to the age of each person;

obtaining a playing sound through the sound inputting module;

adjusting the playing sound according to the target age through the sound adjustment module to obtain an output sound; and

playing the output sound through the speaker,

wherein the sound adjustment module selects an equalizer target setting according to the target age to process the playing sound to obtain the output sound.

2. The method for adjusting playing sound as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sound adjustment module performs a frequency reduction adjustment by processing the playing sound according to the target age to obtain the output sound.

3. The method for adjusting playing sound as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the target age is the oldest age among the plurality of people.

4. The method for adjusting playing sound as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the target age is an average age of the plurality of people.

5. A sound playing system comprising:

a camera module for obtaining an image of a face of each one of a plurality of people;

a facial analysis module for analyzing the image to estimate an age of each one of the plurality of people, and obtaining a target age according to the age of each person;

a sound inputting module for obtaining a playing sound;

a sound adjustment module for adjusting the playing sound according to the target age to obtain an output sound; and

a speaker for playing the output sound,

wherein the sound adjustment module selects an equalizer target setting according to the target age to process the playing sound to obtain the output sound.

6. The sound playing system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the sound adjustment module performs a frequency reduction adjustment by processing the playing sound according to the target age to obtain the output sound.

7. The sound playing system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the sound playing system further comprises a memory being electrically connected to the sound adjustment module and storing a plurality of equalizer target settings.

8. The sound playing system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the target age is the oldest age among the plurality of people.

9. The sound playing system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the target age is an average age of the plurality of people.
