Sound control system and method
First Claim
1. A sound control system applicable to an electronic device having a timing unit, the sound control system comprising:
- a setting module for a user to set maximum sound volume parameters, an environmental characteristics parameter, and a personalized characteristics parameter, corresponding to different time sessions of a day, an environment where the electronic device is located, and the user'"'"'s personality, respectively;
a parameter memory unit for storing the maximum sound volume parameters, the environmental characteristics parameters, and the personalized characteristics parameters, which are set by the user via the setting module;
a time session control module for retrieving from the parameter memory unit a corresponding time session and the maximum sound volume parameter corresponding to the retrieved time session in accordance with time indicated by the timing unit;
a sound recognition module for receiving and recognizing a sound signal around the electronic device; and
a sound effects setting module for setting a corresponding sound output signal to be outputted by a speaker unit connected to the sound control system according to the environmental characteristics parameter, the personalized characteristics parameter, the maximum sound volume parameter retrieved by the time session control module, and the sound signal recognized by the sound recognition module.

Abstract
A sound control system and method applicable to an electronic device having a timing unit. A setting module is provided to set predetermined conditions and corresponding sound volume parameters. A time session control module retrieves the sound volume parameter corresponding to a present condition obtained by the timing unit. Then, a corresponding sound output signal to be outputted by a speaker unit connected to the sound control system is set via a sound effects module according to the sound volume parameter and a sound signal around the electronic device that is received and recognized by a sound recognition module. By such arrangement, the sound control system and method allow the electronic device to provide the user with optimal sound effects depending on the environment and the user'"'"'s preferences.
