Method and electronic device for personalized audio enhancement

An electronic device configured for personalized audio enhancement, wherein the electronic device comprises:

• memory;
• a processor, comprising processing circuitry, coupled to the memory;
• a communicator comprising communication circuitry coupled to the memory and the processor;
• and
• a contextual compression function management controller, comprising circuitry, coupled to the memory, the processor and the communicator, and configured to:
• receive a plurality of inputs, in response to an audiogram test;
• generate a first audiogram corresponding to a one-dimensional frequency-based compression function and representative of a first personalized audio setting to suit a first ambient context, based on the received inputs;
• determine a change from the first ambient context to a second ambient context for an audio playback;
• analyze a plurality of contextual parameters during the audio playback in the second ambient context;
• generate a second audiogram corresponding to a multi-dimensional frequency-based compression function and representative of a second personalised audio setting to suit the second ambient context based on the analysis of the plurality of contextual parameters, wherein each dimension of the multi-dimensional frequency-based compression function represents one of the plurality of contextual parameters;
• and
• perform amplification control of audio during the audio playback in the second ambient context based on the second audiogram.

A method for personalized audio enhancement using an electronic device, wherein the method comprises:

• receiving, by the electronic device, a plurality of inputs, in response to an audiogram test;
• generating, by the electronic device, a first hearing perception profile using the received one or more inputs, the first hearing perception profile corresponding to a first audiogram corresponding to a one-dimensional frequency-based compression function;
• monitoring over time, by the electronic device, audio playback across different audio frequencies in different ambient conditions;
• analyzing, by the electronic device, a plurality of contextual parameters during the audio playback across different frequencies during different ambient conditions;
• generating, by the electronic device, a second hearing perception profile using the plurality of contextual parameters, the second hearing perception profile corresponding to a second audiogram corresponding to a multi-dimensional frequency-based compression function, wherein each dimension of the multi-dimensional frequency-based compression function represents one of the plurality of contextual parameters;
• and
• perform amplification control of audio during the audio playback based on the second hearing perception profile.
