Samsung patents method for balancing sound from multiple devices
Samsung describes an electronic device that can measure the sound coming from two different external speakers or audio sources. It compares what it hears to what it expects to hear and calculates a correction value to adjust the audio output.
In the filing’s own words
An electronic apparatus includes a communication interface, a microphone, and a processor configured to obtain a first expectation value for a first sound to be output from a first external electronic apparatus and a second expectation value for a second sound to be output from a second external electronic apparatus, control the communication interface to transmit a first sound output request signal to the first external electronic apparatus, obtain a first measurement value for the first sound, control the communication interface to transmit a second sound output request signal to the second external electronic apparatus, obtain a second measurement value for the second sound, and obtain a correction value for one or more of the first measurement value and the second measurement value based on the obtained first measurement value, the obtained second measurement value, the obtained first expectation value, and the obtained second expectation value.
