    摘要: A user is guided through various setup routines to optimize speaker parameters and/or positions and/or frequency assignations for the particular space in which the speaker system is located and intended to be used. This can be done using an application downloaded from a cloud server to a smart phone or tablet computer, which is then employed by the user to optimize speaker configurations for various speaker locations in the room.

    摘要: A remote commander (RC) for a TV or other entertainment system component has a microphone. A device can query the RC for its serial number, access the Internet with the serial number to look up characteristics of the microphone, and then knowing the characteristics, use the RC microphone to detect sound such as speaker test chirps to calibrate an audio system in a convenient and user-friendly manner while achieving the accuracy of calibration that can only be obtained by using a calibrated microphone system.

    摘要: Photographic context assistance is provided by overlaying a composition grid selected by the user or by a machine learning algorithm onto the image of a viewfinder of a camera, and then providing audible and/or visual cues as to moving the aim point to better conform the image to the grid. Fine tuning may be effected using, for instance, stabilization hardware to gently adjust the view to better conform the image to the grid before snapping a shot.

    摘要: A personalized room related transfer function (RRTF) for sound bars and speakers within a specific room is generated without the need for photographs of the listener's head or microphones in a headphone apparatus. A smart device aids the listener in creating his own RRTF by enabling the listener to select a general RRTF model based on the specific sound bar setup (e.g., sound bar; sound bar+subwoofer; sound bar+rear speakers+height; etc.) from a set of general RRTFs downloaded locally or from the cloud. A test signal is played from a specific driver of the sound bar, and the listener identifies a location at which he would like the perceived sound to originate. If the driver location signal and desired location are not the same, the app adjusts parameters and replays the test signal until the driver signal and the desired location are the same.

    摘要: A cloud-based HRTF repository system that can be accessed via a public application program interface (API) on the remote repository server to permit individual users of audio-capable client devices to upload and store personalized HRTFs and basic device data in an open format. The cloud server repository includes a computer readable non-volatile memory which further includes a program memory portion comprising an application program interface (API) module configured for receiving HRTF data from a client device, or from a brand manufacturer, and for sending HRTF data to a client device. A brand manufacturer can upload HRTF data to the cloud-based HRTF repository system either directly from their branded companion app in a client device, or optionally via their own cloud server. One technique includes using a Media Service Provider (MSP) app in the client device with a provided server access library (SAL) thereby enabling retrieval of HRTF data for bath a personalized HRTF for any brand client device, or for retrieval of generalized HRTF data by brand manufacturers having a SAL in their brand server via the remote server repository public API.
