Abstract

A sound-effect setting method and an electronic device are provided. The sound-effect setting method comprises decoding an audio data stream; performing sound-effect processing on the decoded audio data stream according to a sound-effect parameter to obtain sound-effect processed audio data; encoding the sound-effect processed audio data to obtain encoded data and outputting the encoded data and the sound-effect parameter. When the audio playing is switched from the current apparatus to the external apparatus, the sound-effect coordination is achieved, and the problem that the playing effect will become poor if there is no sound-effect coordination is prevented.

Claims (58)

1. A sound-effect setting method, comprising:

decoding an audio data stream;

performing sound-effect processing on the decoded audio data stream according to a sound-effect parameter to obtain sound-effect processed audio data;

encoding the sound-effect processed audio data to obtain encoded data; and

outputting the encoded data and the sound-effect parameter.

2. The sound-effect setting method of claim 1 , further comprising:

establishing a connection with an external apparatus, wherein the sound-effect parameter is further used to set a sound effect of the external apparatus.

3. The sound-effect setting method of claim 2 , further comprising:

transmitting a sound-effect querying request to the external apparatus, wherein the sound-effect querying request is used to query a current preset sound-effect parameter of the external apparatus; and

receiving response information for the sound-effect querying request, to determine a sound effect that should be coordinated between a current apparatus and the external apparatus and to generate the sound-effect parameter.

4. The sound-effect setting method of claim 3 , wherein the step of generating the sound-effect parameter comprises:

determining the sound-effect parameter according to sound-effect parameter setting rules, wherein the sound-effect parameter comprises a target sound-effect parameter necessary for a sound effect that shall be coordinated by the external apparatus and a source sound-effect parameter necessary for a sound effect that shall be coordinated by the current apparatus.

5. The sound-effect setting method of claim 4 , wherein the sound-effect parameter setting rules comprises:

regardless of the sound-effect setting of the current apparatus, setting the target sound-effect parameter to be the preset sound-effect parameter of the external apparatus; or

regardless of the sound-effect setting of the external apparatus, setting the source sound-effect parameter to be the preset sound-effect parameter of the external apparatus; or

the current apparatus and the external apparatus cooperating to perform sound-effect processing, wherein an effect achieved through sound-effect processing performed by the current apparatus according to the source sound-effect parameter and sound-effect processing performed by the external apparatus according to the target sound-effect parameter, is identical to an effect achieved through sound-effect processing performed by the current apparatus according to the preset sound-effect parameter of the current apparatus or through sound-effect processing performed by the external apparatus according to the preset sound-effect parameter of the external apparatus.

6. The sound-effect setting method of claim 1 , further comprising:

encoding the sound-effect parameter; and

transmitting the encoded sound-effect parameter to an external apparatus.

7. The sound-effect setting method of claim 1 , further comprising:

encoding the sound-effect parameter;

inserting the encoded sound-effect parameter into the encoded data; and

transmitting the encoded data having the encoded sound-effect parameter inserted therein to an external apparatus.

8. The sound-effect setting method of claim 7 , the step of inserting the encoded sound-effect parameter into the encoded data comprising:

inserting the encoded sound-effect parameter between audio data frames of the encoded data.

9. The sound-effect setting method of claim 7 , the step of inserting the encoded sound-effect parameter into the encoded data comprising:

inserting the encoded sound-effect parameter into a user-definable field of an audio data frame of the encoded data.

10. The sound-effect setting method of claim 7 , the step of inserting the encoded sound-effect parameter into the encoded data comprising:

inserting the encoded sound-effect parameter between the encoded data of different tracks.

11. A sound-effect setting method, comprising:

receiving input data, wherein the input data comprises audio data and a sound-effect parameter;

decoding the audio data;

setting a sound effect of the decoded audio data according to the sound-effect parameter;

receiving a sound-effect querying request, wherein the sound-effect query request is used to query a preset sound-effect parameter of a current apparatus; and

transmitting response information for the sound-effect querying request to an external apparatus so as to determine a sound effect that should be coordinated between the current apparatus and the external apparatus.

12. The sound-effect setting method of claim 11 , wherein the sound-effect parameter comprises a target sound-effect parameter, which is a sound-effect parameter of the sound effect that should be coordinated by the current apparatus.

13. The sound-effect setting method of claim 12 , further comprising:

extracting the target sound-effect parameter; and

decoding the extracted target sound-effect parameter.

14. The sound-effect setting method of claim 13 , further comprising:

extracting the target sound-effect parameter from between data frames of the audio data.

15. The sound-effect setting method of claim 13 , further comprising:

extracting the target sound-effect parameter from a user-definable field in a data frame of the audio data.

16. The sound-effect setting method of claim 13 , further comprising:

extracting the target sound-effect parameter from between the audio data of different tracks.

17. The sound-effect setting method of claim 11 , wherein the sound-effect parameter is obtained according to sound-effect settings of the current apparatus and the external apparatus.
