Abstract: An electronic apparatus and method for control of playback of audio content based on ad-related restrictions is provided. The electronic apparatus acquires the audio content associated with a playback of multimedia content on a display device. The electronic apparatus extracts an audio portion from the audio content. The electronic apparatus generates audio features based on analysis of the audio portion. The electronic apparatus determines the audio portion as an advertisement audio, based on a match between the audio features and information associated with the advertisement audio in a database of advertisement content. The electronic apparatus determines a location of the advertisement audio in a playback timeline of the audio content. The electronic apparatus controls the playback of the audio content via an audio reproduction device, based on the location. The playback is controlled such that the advertisement audio is inaudible in a duration of the playback of the audio content.

Abstract: A wearable device and method for control of the wearable device based on a voice of a verified user is provided. The wearable device receives a first user input and generates a challenge key-phrase based on the first user input. The wearable device renders a message including the challenge key-phrase through an audio output device of the wearable device. The wearable device captures first audio signals corresponding to the rendered message and determines whether the first audio signals include the challenge key-phrase. The wearable device verifies a user if the first audio signals include the challenge key-phrase. The wearable device captures second audio signals corresponding to a second user input including a voice command, based on the verification of the user. The wearable device controls a feature or a setting of the wearable device or an electronic device associated with the wearable device, based on the voice command.
