==MOTION DETECTION OF SPEAKER UNITS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240015459 titled 'MOTION DETECTION OF SPEAKER UNITS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a computer-implemented method for detecting the movement of a speaker unit and determining its position and orientation relative to a target listening area. It then filters the input audio signal based on this information to generate a filtered audio signal, which is outputted using one or more loudspeakers.

* The method detects the movement of a speaker unit to a specific location.
* It determines the position and orientation of the speaker unit relative to a target listening area using positioning information.
* A filter is applied to the input audio signal based on the position and orientation of the speaker unit.
* The filtered audio signal is outputted using one or more loudspeakers.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Home theater systems: The method can be used to optimize the audio experience by adjusting the audio signal based on the position and orientation of the speaker unit.
* Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR): The technology can enhance the immersive experience by adapting the audio output to the user's position and orientation.
* Conference rooms: The method can improve audio quality during meetings by dynamically adjusting the audio signal based on the speaker unit's location.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Audio optimization: The method solves the problem of suboptimal audio quality by dynamically filtering the audio signal based on the speaker unit's position and orientation.
* Immersive experience: The technology addresses the challenge of providing a more realistic and immersive audio experience in various applications by adapting the audio output to the user's position and orientation.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved audio quality: By filtering the audio signal based on the speaker unit's position and orientation, the method can enhance the clarity and accuracy of the audio output.
* Enhanced user experience: The technology provides a more immersive and realistic audio experience, making it more enjoyable for users in applications such as home theaters, VR, and conference rooms.
* Adaptive audio output: The method dynamically adjusts the audio signal based on the speaker unit's location, ensuring optimal audio quality regardless of the speaker's position within the listening area.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

in various embodiments, a computer-implemented method comprises detecting that a speaker unit has moved to a first location, determining, based on positioning information associated with the speaker unit, a position and an orientation of the speaker unit relative to a target listening area, filtering, using a filter determined based on the position and the orientation, an input audio signal to generate a filtered audio signal, and outputting the filtered audio signal using one or more loudspeakers.
