To alleviate information-dependent behavior by using a mobile terminal of a user of the mobile terminal. A mobile terminal including a first signal generator that generates a frequency signal in the audible band, a second signal generator that generates a high-frequency signal in a frequency band higher than the audible band, a speaker that converts the high-frequency signal into a corresponding high-frequency sound, and a timing controller that controls timing of the generation of the high-frequency signal to be a timing that does not correlate with the timing of the generation of the frequency signal in the audible band is provided.

Examples described herein involve expanding playback of a media item from a first playback device to a second playback device. In one example, while a first playback device is playing a media item as part of a first zone, the first playback device identifies that a second playback device has moved to a location that is within a given physical proximity of the first playback. The first playback device determines that playback is to be expanded to the second playback device, and transmits a command to cause the second playback device to (i) join the first zone and (ii) begin to play the media item in synchrony with the first playback device.

A system and method for routing the audio output from a selected one of a plurality of independent audio sources to an audio system for amplification/playback; the routing being based upon the movement of a user's head, and in particular the user's line-of-sight inferred from the movement. The invention employs a spatial mapping of the plurality of audio sources and routes the respective audio output of each of the sources to the audio amplification/playback system upon making the determination that the user's line-of-sight is being directed to a particular one of the audio sources.

A method and a device for switching a master earphone with a slave earphone of TWS earphones in a call scenario, and a medium are provided. In the method for switching a master earphone with a slave earphone of TWS earphones in a call scenario according to the present disclosure, a signal indicating a position change of the master earphone being worn relative to a wearing part of the master earphone and a signal indicating a position change of the slave earphone being worn relative to a wearing part of the slave earphone are obtained; it is determined whether the signals meet a master-slave earphone switching condition; and in a case that the signals meet the master-slave earphone switching condition, the master earphone is controlled to operate in a slave earphone mode and the slave earphone is controlled to operate in a master earphone mode.

An audio output mode switching method and an electronic device are provided. The audio output mode switching method is performed by a first electronic device that is in a wireless connection with a second electronic device. The method includes: displaying audio information, and outputting audio corresponding to the audio information in a first audio output mode; receiving a target input for the audio information; and switching an output mode of the audio into a second audio output mode in response to the target input. The first audio output mode is a mode in which the audio is outputted through one of the first electronic device or the second electronic device, and the second audio output mode is a mode in which the audio is outputted through the other one of the one of the first electronic device or the second electronic device.

A wireless sound device set compatible with various devices. The wireless sound device set compatible with various devices may include: a wireless sound device; a charging case; a connection cable, a controller for automatically performing one selected from a charging mode and a relay mode; and a wireless communication module for receiving output sound information and transmitting same to the wireless sound device. An independent wireless connection causes no intervention from another external device, and thus maintain stable pairing.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a processor and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to obtain information of a wireless audio device wirelessly connectable to the electronic device, determine whether an utterance of a user is a device-controlling utterance for a target device which is a target of remote control in response to the information of the wireless audio device, and suggest switching a connection of the wireless audio device to the target device based on an intent in the utterance of the user. Other example embodiments, in addition to the foregoing example embodiment, are also applicable.

An apparatus comprising means for: receiving an indication of a form factor of a device; selecting an audio component, in dependence on the receiving an indication of a form factor of the device and in dependence on an assigned location of a graphical user interface object associated with the audio component, wherein the graphical user interface object is assigned to at least a first display area when the device is in a first form factor and is assigned to the at least a first display area when the device is in a second form factor; controlling audio processing of audio associated with the selected audio component; and providing at least the processed audio for audio output by one or more loudspeakers.

A method of using video gaming communication system. A gaming chair is provided that includes a control panel and a speaker operably connected to the control panel. A headphone is provided that includes a speaker and a microphone. The headphone is operably connected to the control panel. The control panel is operably connected to a gaming system. A video game sound is transmitted from the gaming system to the control panel. The video game sound is emitted from the gaming chair speaker and the headphone speaker. An audio input is received from the headphone microphone. In response to receiving the audio input, the emitting of the video game sound from at least one of the gaming chair speaker and the headphone speaker is changed.

The present invention relates to the technical field of mobile terminals. Disclosed are an audio signal processing method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. The method comprises: when detecting that 3.5 mm earphones are connected by means of a type-C plug of a transfer cable, a mobile terminal determines whether states of audio channels of an audio ground GND and a microphone MIC of the type-C plug are correct. When determining that the states of the audio channels of the GND and the MIC of the type-C plug are correct, the mobile terminal decides whether to enter an audio mode. If the mobile terminal decides to enter the audio mode, a low-resistance network for reducing channel impedance is controlled to connect in parallel to the GND.
