Abstract

A system for automatically adjusting sound effects and a method thereof. The system includes a communication module, a playing module, an input module for receiving a choice among a plurality of songs made by a user, and a processing module configured to search a storage module for one of sets of sound effects parameters corresponding to the choice made by the user. If the set of sound effects parameters corresponding to the choice made by the user is not found, the processing module is then configured to obtain the set of sound effects parameters from a plurality of servers through a communication module. The playing module is configured to adjust a playing mode according to the set of sound effects parameters found or obtained by the processing module, and to play the song of choice in the playing mode.

Claims

1. A system for automatically adjusting sound effects, comprising:

a storage module, configured to store data of a plurality of songs and a plurality of sets of sound effects parameters;

a communication module, configured to connect to a plurality of servers through a network;

an input module for receiving a choice among the plurality of songs made by a user;

a processing module, configured to search the storage module for one of the sets of sound effects parameters corresponding to the choice made by the user, wherein if the set of sound effects parameters corresponding to the choice made by the user is not found, the processing module is configured to obtain the set of sound effects parameters corresponding to the choice made by the user from the plurality of servers through the communication module; and

a playing module, configured to adjust a playing mode according to the set of sound effects parameters found or obtained by the processing module, and to play the song of the choice in the playing mode.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the set of sound effects parameters obtained by the processing module from the plurality of servers through the communication module is stored in the storage module.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the playing mode is a mode of playing rock music.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the playing mode is a mode of playing jazz music.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the playing mode is a mode of playing pop music.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the playing mode is a mode of playing classical music.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the set of sound effects parameters comprises data of a musical type of the song of the choice.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the data of the musical type comprise rock music type data, jazz music type data, pop music type data, or classical music type data.

9. A method of automatically adjusting sound effects, applicable to an audio playing system comprising a processing module, a playing module, and a storage module for storing data of a plurality of songs and a plurality of sets of sound effects parameters, the method comprising the following steps of:

connecting the system to a plurality of servers through a network;

the system receiving a choice among a plurality of songs made by a user;

the processing module searching the storage module for one of the sets of sound effects parameters corresponding to the choice made by the user, and if the set of sound effects parameters corresponding to the choice is not found, obtaining the set of sound effects parameters corresponding to the choice made by the user from the plurality of servers; and

the playing module adjusting a playing mode according to the set of sound effects parameters found or obtained by the processing module, for playing the song of the choice in the playing mode.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising storing the set of sound effects parameters obtained by the processing module from the plurality of servers into the storage module.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the playing mode is a mode of playing rock music.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the playing mode is a mode of playing jazz music.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein the playing mode is a mode of playing pop music.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein the playing mode is a mode of playing classical music.

15. The method of claim 9, wherein the set of sound effects parameters comprises data of a musical type of the song of the choice.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the data of the musical type comprise rock music type data, jazz music type data, pop music type data, or classical music type data.
