The present disclosure relates to multimedia data playing methods and terminal devices. One example method includes obtaining, by a terminal device, a first sound effect plug-in, where the first sound effect plug-in corresponds to a first sound effect, and the terminal device includes a first application and a second application that are used to play multimedia data, receiving, by the terminal device, a first instruction used to indicate that a user of the terminal device selects the first sound effect option, wherein where the first sound effect option is an option corresponding to the first sound effect, when first multimedia data is to be played by the first application or the second application, processing, by the terminal device, the first multimedia data by using the first sound effect plug-in according to the first instruction to play the first multimedia data with the first sound effect.

An artificial intelligence system and method are disclosed herein. The system includes a processor which implements the method, including: receiving by an input unit a first user input including a request to execute a task using at least one of the electronic device or an external device, transmitting by a wireless communication unit first data associated with the first user input to an external server, receiving a first response from the external server including information associated with at least one of the first user input and a sequence of electronic device states for performing at least a portion of the task, receiving a second user input assigning at least one of a voice command and a touch operation received by a touch screen display as the request to perform the task, and transmitting second data associated with the second user input to the external server.

A wireless earphone comprises a transceiver circuit for receiving streaming audio from a data source over a local ad hoc wireless network. When the data source and the earphone are out of range, they transition automatically to an infrastructure wireless network. If there is no common infrastructure wireless network for both the data source and the speakerphone set, the earphone connects to a host server via an available wireless network.

Described herein are methods, systems and computer products for supporting user interactive actions in workflows integrating multiple disparate web applications by adding (embedding) one or more User Interface (UI) elements in one or more webpages of one or more web applications and linking them with respective workflows. Users visiting these webpages may engage with the added UI elements to interact with the linked workflows. Further described are methods, systems and computer products for enhancing performance of one or more workflows integrating multiple disparate web applications by adjusting the workflows to asynchronously initiate actions which are independent of each other such that the independent actions are executed simultaneously.

Music compilation methods disclosed herein include providing a database. Data is stored therein associating a user with access credentials for a plurality of music streaming services. A first server is communicatively coupled with the database and with multiple third party servers each of which includes a music library associated with the user. A list is stored in the database listing audio tracks of the libraries. A play selector is displayed on a user interface of a computing device communicatively coupled with the first server. User selection of the play selector initiates playback of a sample set, the sample set including portions of audio tracks in the list. The sample set is determined based on contextual information gathered by the computing device, the contextual information not including any user selection. Music compilation systems disclosed herein include systems configured to carry out the music compilation methods.

Disclosed is an electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus includes a first communicator, a second communicator; and a processor configured to determine whether or not an external electronic apparatus outputting input speech is connectable to a network connectable through the first communicator, based on the input speech, and to transmit a signal for controlling the external electronic apparatus to the external electronic apparatus through the first communicator or the second communicator depending on whether or not the external electronic apparatus is connectable to the network.

A haptic keyboard of an information handling system may comprise a coversheet to identify a key location, a support layer, a contact foil placed between the coversheet and support layer, and a controller operatively coupled to the contact foil. The controller may receive a haptic actuation indicator signal via a processor or via the contact foil, send a first haptic feedback control signal to a first piezoelectric element to cause the first piezoelectric element to generate haptic tactile movement feedback at the key location, and send a second haptic feedback control signal to the first or a second piezoelectric element to cause the second piezoelectric element to generate haptic sound feedback in response to the haptic actuation indicator signal.

According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for modulating external sounds to reflect the acoustic effects of virtual objects in a mixed-reality environment is provided. The present invention may include creating a knowledge corpus, recording a sound effect occurring externally to a mixed-reality environment experienced by a user operating the mixed-reality device; identifying one or more objects within the mixed-reality environment, including at least one virtual object; modulating the sound effect based on the knowledge corpus to simulate one or more acoustic effects of the one or more objects within the MR environment; and playing the modulated sound effect to the user.
