TV Volume Regulator Makes Commercials Shut Up

— March 20, 2007 — Unique
Are you tired of watching your favourite television program, only to be blasted by annoyingly loud commercials? Well, the TV Volume Regulator gives back the power to the viewers, allowing you to regulate the volume and keep it at a normal, consistent level for your favourite show and for the commercial breaks.

I think it would be even better if it automatically muted the commercials entirely!

Implications - It is sometimes startling when a commercial blasts out super-loud sound. Keeping a consistent volume is something that many people dream about, and with the TV Volume Regulator, that dream can finally come true. Hopefully this little gadget works when viewers are watching movies too!
Trend Themes
1. TV Volume Regulation - The technology behind TV Volume Regulator can be incorporated into existing televisions, or developed into new technology that can regulate sound levels for any kind of shows and commercials.
2. Device Compatibility - The TV Volume Regulator could be compatible with smart home devices such as Amazon Alexa or integrated into TV service provider offerings to create a cross-industry collaboration opportunity.
3. Personalized Viewing Experience - The TV Volume Regulator product could inspire similar personalized TV watching experiences that cater to consumer's preferences, paving the way for other products that can dynamically adjust based on user preference.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - Companies in this space can develop or incorporate similar devices and innovation for enhanced consumer experience by leveraging technology innovation and improving user experience.
2. Entertainment - Utilizing varying forms of technology, content providers can collaborate with device manufacturers to create personalized viewing experiences, reducing commercial volumes and disruptions and giving viewers more control over their viewing.
3. Advertising - Advertisers can leverage the TV Volume Regulator technology to develop more effective ad formats tailored to the viewer, removing the frustrating and disruptive nature of loud commercials and improving advertising experience for viewers.
