    摘要: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for identifying electronic devices in a room using a spread code. In some embodiments, a first electronic device receives a spread spectrum signal from a second electronic device over an audio data channel. The first electronic device determines a time of receipt of the spread spectrum signal based on despreading. The first electronic device calculates a distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device based on the time of receipt and a time of transmission. The first electronic device determines the second electronic device is not in the room with the first electronic device based on the calculated distance.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for synchronizing playback of audiovisual content with a dumb speaker. In some embodiments, a display device transmits a spread spectrum signal to a dumb speaker over a data channel using a spread spectrum code. The display device then receives the spread spectrum signal from the dumb speaker over an audio data channel. The display device despreads the spread spectrum signal based on the spreading code. The display device determines a time of receipt of the spread spectrum signal. The display device calculates an audiovisual output path delay for the dumb speaker based on the time of receipt and a time of transmission. The display device then synchronizes the playback of the audiovisual content at the dumb speaker and a smart speaker based on the audiovisual output path delay.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are computer-implemented method, system, and computer-readable storage-medium embodiments for implementing sound generation with adaptive directivity. An embodiment includes at least one computer processor that may retrieve and process an audio sample of a content instance, via an algorithm configured to generate a classification of the audio sample. Directivity may be determined, corresponding to a first audio signal to be output via an audio output device. The first audio signal may correspond to the audio sample of the content instance, and the audio output device may include at least one loudspeaker, for example. A second audio signal may be generated from the classification and the directivity. In some embodiments, another classification of the audio sample may be generated based at least in part on a second algorithm that may process information including a video image corresponding to the audio sample and/or additional audio characteristic(s) detected in the audio sample.
