Samsung patents speakers that tune sound based on how you hear
Samsung describes a sound output device that adjusts its audio settings using a neural network model. The system combines data about the specific device, signals from a remote control, and personal hearing profiles stored on a server to optimize the sound output for the user.
In the filing’s own words
A sound output device is provided. The sound output device includes a memory configured to store first device information of the sound output device, a communication interface including circuitry, a speaker, and one or more processors configured to, based on user identification information being received, receive perceived sound information corresponding to the user identification information from a server through the communication interface, control the speaker to output sound, based on a signal corresponding to the sound being received from a remote control device receiving the sound, obtain sound setting information corresponding to the sound output device by inputting the first device information, the received signal and the perceived sound information to a neural network model, and set the sound output device according to the sound setting information.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A sound output device comprising: at least one memory storing one or more instructions and first device information of the sound output device; a communication interface comprising circuitry; a speaker; and one or more processors configured to: based on receiving user identification information, receive perceived sound information corresponding to the user identification information from a server through the communication interface; control the speaker to output a first sound; based on receiving a signal corresponding to the first sound from a remote control device, obtain sound setting information corresponding to the sound output device by inputting into a neural network model the first device information, the signal corresponding to the first sound, and the perceived sound information; set the sound output device according to the sound setting information; and control the speaker to output a second sound after the sound output device is set according to the sound setting information, wherein the sound setting information is an output of the neural network model, and wherein a signal corresponding to the second sound received from the remote control device comprises perceived characteristics which correspond to perceived characteristics according to the perceived sound information.
