Abstract:
A sound processing device includes an amplifier, a current detector, and a controller. The amplifier amplifies a sound signal to drive a loudspeaker. The current detector detects a value of an electric current flowing into the amplifier. The controller controls whether to supply power to the amplifier based on a predicted current value and the current detected by the current detector. The predicted current value is predicted in accordance with a volume setting and a level of the sound signal.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of controlling sound according to  claim 17 , further comprising:\n calculating a first threshold in accordance with the volume setting for the amplifier and the level of the sound signal; muting the amplifier when the value of the electric current exceeds the first threshold; setting a second threshold in accordance with a value of the electric current flowing into the amplifier being muted; releasing the amplifier from being muted when the detected value of the electric current flowing into the amplifier becomes not larger than the second threshold; and halting the power supplied to the amplifier when the detected value of the electric current flowing into the amplifier keeps exceeding the second threshold.
