Abstract: A method for adjusting audio being outputted through a beam forming loudspeaker array. Program audio is rendered to drive the loudspeaker array to produce sound beams having i) a main content pattern that is aimed at a listener, superimposed with ii) several diffuse content patterns that are aimed away from the listener. In response to receiving an alert message that refers to alert audio, the portion of the program audio in the main pattern is moved into the diffuse patterns, and the alert audio is rendered to drive the loudspeaker array so that the portion of the program audio in the main pattern is replaced with the alert audio. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: An audio system that adjusts one or more beam patterns emitted by one or more loudspeaker arrays based on the preferences of users/listeners is described. The audio system includes an audio receiver that contains a listener location estimator, a listener identifier, and a voice command processor. Inputs from the listener location estimator, the listener identifier, and the voice command processor are fed into an array processor. The array processor drives the one or more loudspeaker arrays to emit beam patterns into the listening area based on inputs from each of these devices. By examining the location, preferred usage settings, and voice commands from listeners, the generated beam patterns are customized to the explicit and implicit preferences of the listeners with minimal direct input. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a method is performed at an electronic device with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and one or more sensors for detecting intensities of contacts on the touch-sensitive surface. The device concurrently displays, on the display: a background user interface; and a first version of a notification associated with a first application, wherein: the first version of the notification has a first size, the first version of the notification includes first content, and the first version of the notification is overlaid on the background user interface. While displaying the first version of the notification associated with the first application overlaid on the background user interface, the device detects a first portion of a first input that includes detecting a first contact at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to the first version of the notification. In response to detecting the first portion of the first input: in accordance with a determination that the first portion of the first input meets application-launching criteria, wherein the application launching criteria do not require that a characteristic intensity of the first contact on the touch-sensitive surface meet a preview intensity threshold in order for the application launching criteria to be met, the device initiates a process to launch the first application, wherein launching the first application includes ceasing to display the background user interface and displaying a user interface associated with the first application; and, in accordance with a determination that the first portion of the first input meets notification expansion criteria, wherein the notification-expansion criteria require that the characteristic intensity of the first contact on the touch-sensitive surface meet the preview intensity threshold in order for the notification-expansion criteria to be met, the device displays a second version of the notification, wherein: the second version of the notification has a second size larger than the first size, the second version of the notification includes expanded notification content that is not displayed in the first version of the notification, and the second version of the notification is overlaid on the background user interface.

Abstract: An audio system is described that includes one or more speaker arrays that emit sound corresponding to one or more pieces of sound program content into associated zones within a listening area. Using parameters of the audio system (e.g., locations of the speaker arrays and the audio sources), the zones, the users, the pieces of sound program content, and the listening area, one or more beam pattern attributes may be generated. The beam pattern attributes define a set of beams that are used to generate audio beams for channels of sound program content to be played in each zone. The beam pattern attributes may be updated as changes are detected within the listening environment. By adapting to these changing conditions, the audio system is capable of reproducing sound that accurately represents each piece of sound program content in various zones.

Abstract: A method for determining the orientation of a loudspeaker relative to a listening device is described. The method simultaneously drives each transducer to emit beam patterns corresponding to distinct orthogonal audio signals. The listening device senses sounds produced by the orthogonal audio signals and analyzes the sensed audio signal to determine the spatial orientation of the loudspeaker relative to the listening device. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: A process for reproducing sound using a loudspeaker array that is housed in a loudspeaker cabinet includes the selection of a number of sound rendering modes and changing the selected sound rendering mode based on changes in one or both of sensor data and a user interface selection. The sound rendering modes include a number of mid-side modes and at least one direct ambient mode. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
