Abstract: An electronic device obtains acoustic signals through a plurality of microphones of a microphone array, while displaying a visual object on a display. The electronic device obtains first information related to propagated characteristics of the acoustic signals in a space where the microphone array is provided, based on the obtained acoustic signals. The electronic device changes an audio signal corresponding to the visual object based on the first information and second information for displaying the visual object in the display. The electronic device provides the changed audio signal using a speaker.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes, for the purpose of determining a customized beamformer filter, an input module including a plurality of microphones configured to receive an external sound signal, a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions and an initial value of a voice parameter used to perform beamforming on the external sound signal, and a processor configured to execute the instructions by accessing the memory. The instructions may be configured to estimate a feature value of the external sound signal, calculate the initial value of the voice parameter used to perform beamforming based on the external sound signal received by the plurality of microphones, determine whether to store the calculated initial value according to the feature value, determine which one of the calculated initial value or an initial value stored in the memory used according to the feature value, and obtain a target voice parameter.
