Abstract: Es werden ein Audiosystem und ein Verfahren zum Bestimmen eines Audiofilters basierend auf einer Position einer Audiovorrichtung des Audiosystems beschrieben. Das Audiosystem empfängt ein Bild der Audiovorrichtung, die von einem Benutzer getragen wird, und bestimmt basierend auf dem Bild und einer bekannten geometrischen Beziehung zwischen einem Festpunkt auf der Audiovorrichtung und einem elektroakustischen Wandler der Audiovorrichtung eine relative Position zwischen dem elektroakustischen Wandler und einem anatomischen Merkmal des Benutzers. Das Audiofilter wird basierend auf der relativen Position bestimmt. Das Audiofilter kann auf ein Audioeingangssignal angewendet werden, um spatialisierten Schall durch den elektroakustischen Wandler an den Benutzer zu rendern, oder das Audiofilter kann auf ein Mikrofoneingangssignal angewendet werden, um Sprache des Benutzers durch den elektroakustischen Wandler aufzunehmen. Es werden außerdem andere Gesichtspunkte beschrieben und beansprucht.

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: Loudspeakers are described that may reduce comb filtering effects perceived by a listener by either 1) moving transducers closer to a sound reflective surface (e.g., a baseplate, a tabletop or a floor) through vertical (height) or rotational adjustments of the transducers or 2) guiding sound produced by the transducers to be released into the listening area proximate to the reflective surface through the use of horns and openings that are at a prescribed distance from the reflective surface. The reduction of this distance between the reflective surface and the point at which sound emitted by the transducers is released into the listening area may lead to shorter reflected path that reduces comb filtering effects caused by reflected sounds that are delayed relative to the direct sound. Accordingly, the loudspeakers shown and described may be placed on reflective surfaces without severe audio coloration caused by reflected sounds.

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: 04860.P12537AU An electronic audio device including an enclosure having an acoustic output opening and a speaker positioned within the enclosure. The speaker and the acoustic output opening are acoustically coupled by an acoustic output pathway. The acoustic output pathway includes a damping chamber to dampen a resonance frequency of the acoustic output pathway. The speaker is between the damping chamber and the acoustic output opening.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device displays a map user interface including a representation of a map at a respective zoom level and a location indicator that indicates a determined location of the electronic device on the representation of the map. In some embodiments, the location indicator includes a first location element and does not include a second location element. In some embodiments, the location indicator includes the second location element and does not include the first location element. In some embodiments, an electronic device displays a map user interface including a representation of a map and a location indicator that indicates a determined location of the electronic device on the representation of the map. In some embodiments, while displaying the map user interface, the electronic device displays a selectable option that is selectable to initiate a process for improving an accuracy of the determined location of the electronic device.
