Abstract

Disclosed is an electronic device. The electronic device comprises: a speaker; a memory in which filter information for each of a plurality of volume levels is stored for each of characteristic values of a plurality of speakers; and at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, individually and/or collectively, configured to: obtain filter information for each of the plurality of volume levels corresponding to the characteristic values of the speaker among stored filter information based on characteristic values of the speaker, set a filter based on filter information corresponding to a volume level of the electronic device among the obtained filter information, perform signal processing on an audio signal using the set filter, and control the speaker to output the processed audio signal.

Claims (69)

1 . An electronic device comprising:

a speaker;

a memory storing filter information for each of a plurality of volume levels for each of characteristic values of a plurality of speakers; and

at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, individually and/or collectively, configured to:

obtain filter information for each of the plurality of volume levels corresponding to the characteristic values of the speaker among the stored filter information based on the characteristic values of the speaker;

set a filter based on filter information corresponding to a volume level of the electronic device among the obtained filter information;

perform signal processing on an audio signal using the set filter; and

control the speaker to output the processed audio signal.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein at least one processor, individually and/or collectively, is configured to:

based on the volume level of the electronic device being greater than or equal to a specified level, output the processed audio signal through the speaker, and

based on the volume level of the electronic device being less than the specified level, output the audio signal through the speaker without signal processing using the filter.

3 . The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the characteristic values of the speaker include index values for each of a plurality of parameters, and

the index values for each of the parameters are determined based on the characteristics of the speaker.

4 . The electronic device of claim 3 ,

wherein the plurality of parameters comprise:

a parameter for a range of the plurality of volume levels corresponding to the filter information, a parameter for a benefit of the filter, and a parameter for a block frequency of the filter.

5 . The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the filter comprises:

a low-cut shelving filter.

6 . The electronic device of claim 5 ,

wherein a size of a negative benefit of the low-cut shelving filter decreases by a specified value as the volume level of the electronic device decreases.

7 . The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the filter information for each of the plurality of volume levels comprises:

information on filter coefficients corresponding to each of the volume levels.

8 . A method of controlling an electronic device comprising a speaker, the method comprising:

based on characteristic values of the speaker, obtaining filter information for each of a plurality of volume levels corresponding to the characteristic values among filter information for each of a plurality of volume levels for each of characteristic values of a plurality of speakers;

setting a filter based on filter information corresponding to a volume level of the electronic device among the obtained filter information;

performing signal processing on an audio signal using the set filter; and

outputting the processed audio signal through the speaker.

9 . The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the outputting comprises:

based on the volume level of the electronic device being greater than or equal to a specified level, outputting the processed audio signal through the speaker; and

based on the volume level of the electronic device being less than the specified level, outputting the audio signal through the speaker without signal processing using the filter.

10 . The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the characteristic values of the speaker include index values for each of a plurality of parameters, and

the index values for each of the parameters are determined based on the characteristics of the speaker.

11 . The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the plurality of parameters comprise:

a parameter for a range of the plurality of volume levels corresponding to the filter information, a parameter for a benefit of the filter, and a parameter for a block frequency of the filter.

12 . The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the filter comprises:

a low-cut shelving filter.

13 . The method of claim 12 ,

wherein a size of a negative benefit of the low-cut shelving filter decreases by a specified value as the volume level of the electronic device decreases.

14 . The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the filter information for each of the plurality of volume levels comprises:

information on filter coefficients corresponding to each of the volume levels.

15 . A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing computer instructions that cause an electronic device comprising a speaker to perform an operation when executed by at least one processor of the electronic device, wherein the operation comprises;

based on characteristic values of the speaker, obtaining filter information for each of a plurality of volume levels corresponding to the characteristic values among filter information for each of a plurality of volume levels for each of characteristic values of a plurality of speakers;

setting a filter based on filter information corresponding to a volume level of the electronic device among the obtained filter information;

performing signal processing on an audio signal using the set filter; and

outputting the processed audio signal through the speaker.

16 . The medium of claim 15 ,

wherein the outputting comprises:

based on the volume level of the electronic device being greater than or equal to a specified level, outputting the processed audio signal through the speaker; and

based on the volume level of the electronic device being less than the specified level, outputting the audio signal through the speaker without signal processing using the filter.

17 . The medium of claim 15 ,

wherein the characteristic values of the speaker include index values for each of a plurality of parameters, and

the index values for each of the parameters are determined based on the characteristics of the speaker.

18 . The medium of claim 17 ,

wherein the plurality of parameters comprise:

a parameter for a range of the plurality of volume levels corresponding to the filter information, a parameter for a benefit of the filter, and a parameter for a block frequency of the filter.

19 . The medium of claim 15 ,

wherein the filter comprises:

a low-cut shelving filter.

20 . The medium of claim 19 ,

wherein a size of a negative benefit of the low-cut shelving filter decreases by a specified value as the volume level of the electronic device decreases.
