1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a speaker configured to output audio using a permanent magnet;
an audio processor configured to process audio data and output to the speaker; and
an electromagnet configured to push the permanent magnet and to project the speaker out of the electronic apparatus by pushing the permanent magnet, with application of an electric current; and
a controller to sense a position of a user, to determine a degree of the projection of the speaker based on the sensed position of the user, and to determine flow of the electric current through the electromagnet based on the determined degree of the projection of the speaker.

13. A method of providing sound in an electronic apparatus comprising at least one speaker, the sound providing method comprising:
-
processing audio data; outputting the processed audio data to the at least one speaker; sensing a position of a user; determining a degree of projection of the at least one speaker based on the sensed position of the user; determining an electric current which flows through an electromagnet based on the determination of the degree of projection of the at least one speaker; and projecting the at least one speaker out on the electronic apparatus, using the electromagnet to push a permanent magnet of the speaker upon application of the current. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An electronic apparatus with a casing, comprising:
-
at least one speaker including a permanent magnet and configured to move between being disposed within the casing and projecting from the casing; an electromagnet disposed within the casing and configured to create a repulsive force with the permanent magnet to force the speaker to project from the casing when an electric current is applied thereto; and
,a controller to sense a position of a user, to determine a degree of projection of the at least one speaker based on the sensed position of the user, and to determine the electric current which flows through the electromagnet based on the determination of the degree of projection of the at least one speaker.
