20100179809 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF PROCESSING A RECEIVED VOICE SIGNAL IN A MOBILE TERMINAL - An apparatus and a method thereof, processes a voice signal of a mobile terminal in a mobile communication system. The apparatus to process a received-voice signal received through a wireless channel in a mobile terminal includes a digital signal processing unit to generate an encoded packet and frame type information defining a characteristic of the encoded packet by performing voice encoding on an audible signal input from a microphone. The apparatus also includes a received-voice controlling unit to determine a noise level in consideration of the frame type information and a level of the audible signal, and to control at least one of a tone and a volume of received voice by the determined noise level. | 07-15-2010 |
20110135113 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INCREASING VOLUMN IN PORTABLE TERMINAL - An apparatus and method for increasing an audio volume in a portable terminal are provided. The apparatus includes a sound booster for increasing a volume of a final audio signal comprising at least one sound source data to be output through an audio hardware, and a speaker for converting audio data having a volume increased by the sound booster into a sound signal to play the converted sound signal. | 06-09-2011 |
20110137647 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENHANCING VOICE SIGNAL IN NOISY ENVIRONMENT - A method and apparatus which enhance a voice signal received by a reception terminal from a transmission terminal, the method including: detecting a magnitude of a noise signal peripheral to the reception terminal; checking a volume level which is set in the reception terminal while the voice signal is received from the transmission terminal; and adaptively enhancing at least one of a volume and an articulation of the voice signal on the basis of a magnitude of the noise signal and the checked volume level. | 06-09-2011 |
20120011470 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING MENU ITEM IN A PORTABLE TERMINAL - A method and an apparatus for managing a menu item in a portable terminal are provided. In the method, at least one item is selected from items displayed on a screen according to a user control. An attribute of selected at least one item is determined. A new item is generated by one of dividing and merging the at least one item depending on the determined attribute. | 01-12-2012 |
20120226706 | SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SORTING MUSIC FILES BASED ON MOODS - A system and method for sorting music files based on moods are provided. The system includes a portable terminal for sorting stored music files based on moods, for changing mood information of a corresponding music file in response to a request to change mood of at least one of the music files, and for transmitting the mood change information to a mood analyzing server, and a mood analyzing server for receiving the mood change information, for updating mood judgment information that is standard information for determining mood of a music file based on the received mood change information, and for transmitting the updated mood judgment information to the portable terminal. | 09-06-2012 |
20130287215 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OUTPUTTING AUDIO - An apparatus and method for outputting audio signals of a portable communication device are provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of audio tables including different volume control values or tone control values, and allows a user to selectively set audio tables corresponding to each of audio paths equipped with the portable communication device. Further, the apparatus analyzes a surrounding environment during a voice call, determines the absence or presence of noise, and suitably controls a volume or a tone of audio signals based on the result of the determination before outputting the audio signals. Accordingly, the apparatus can provide an improved calling condition in various calling environments. | 10-31-2013 |
20150181333 | METHOD OF REDUCING NOISE IN AUDIO OUTPUT ENVIRONMENT AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING THE SAME - A method of reducing noise is provided. The method includes determining whether an audio output of the audio source has interference based on a sampling frequency and an operating frequency of at least one device element e, and maintaining or changing the operating frequency of the at least one device element depending on whether interference is determined. | 06-25-2015 |
