Systems, apparatus and methods for producing an output, e.g. light, associated with an appliance, based on appliance sound

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to systems (200), apparatus and methods utilizing the soundscape of the appliance (204) to generate content for a dynamic output. In various embodiments, the output generated by the apparatus is varied based on differences in the acoustic signal resulting from changes in the operating state of the appliance (204). By utilizing the soundscape of the appliance (204), a non-repetitive and pseudo-random, but still recognizable outputs associated with the appliance (204), can be generated based on the various operating states of the appliance (204). The user's operation of the appliance (204) may influence the acoustic signal received by the apparatus which may further influence the output produced by the appliance (204). The systems (200), apparatus and methods described herein employ a dynamic acoustic signal of an appliance (204) to provide a user with a dynamic output to engage the user in a manner that increases their interest in and attachment to the appliance (204).
