Apparatus and method for tuning volume of downloaded sound
First Claim
1. An apparatus for tuning a volume of a sound signal downloaded from an outside source, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory for storing the sound signal downloaded from the outside source;
a speaker for outputting the sound signal stored in the memory;
a microphone for receiving the sound signal output from the speaker;
a codec for outputting modulation data of the sound signal input from the microphone;
a volume tuning determining unit for calculating volume figure data with respect to the sound signal and stress figure data of the speaker, using the modulation data, and for calculating volume adjustment gain data when the volume figure data is less than a predetermined volume figure minimum and the stress figure data is less than a predetermined stress figure minimum or when the volume figure data is greater than a predetermined volume figure maximum and the stress figure data is greater than a predetermined stress figure maximum; and
a volume tuner for tuning the volume of the sound signal using the calculated volume adjustment gain data.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for tuning the volume of a sound downloaded from an outside source in a device for outputting such a sound through a speaker are provided. The apparatus includes a memory, a speaker, a microphone, a codec, a volume tuning determining unit, and a volume tuner. The memory stores a sound signal downloaded from the outside source. The speaker outputs the sound signal stored in the memory. The microphone receives the sound signal output from the speaker. The codec outputs modulation data of the sound signal input from the microphone. The volume tuning determining unit calculates volume figure data with respect to the sound signal, stress figure data of the speaker, and volume adjustment gain data using the modulation data. The volume tuner tunes the volume of the sound signal using the calculated volume adjustment gain data.
