METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEDIA PROPERTY OR CHARACTERISTIC CONTROL IN A MEDIA SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18324409 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEDIA PROPERTY OR CHARACTERISTIC CONTROL IN A MEDIA SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for adjusting the multimedia presentation characteristic of a peripheral device based on user input. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The control device transmits a portion of content that represents a multimedia presentation characteristic of a peripheral device.
- If the adjustment of the signal is below a certain threshold, the control device receives a user input indicating a request to change the multimedia presentation characteristic.
- In response to the user input, the control device adjusts another portion of the signal and transmits it as part of the content.
- If the adjustment of the signal is at or above the threshold, the control device receives a second instance of the user input.
- In response to the second user input, the control device transmits a communication signal to the peripheral device to adjust its control of the output of the multimedia presentation characteristic.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Home entertainment systems: Users can easily adjust the audio or video settings of their TVs or speakers using a control device.
- Virtual reality systems: Users can change the visual or auditory settings of their VR headsets or accessories for a more immersive experience.
- Conference room setups: Participants can control the audio and video settings of projectors or displays to optimize their presentations.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Simplifies the process of adjusting multimedia presentation characteristics by allowing users to make changes through a control device.
- Eliminates the need for users to manually adjust settings on peripheral devices, making it more convenient and user-friendly.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience: Users can easily customize the multimedia presentation characteristics to suit their preferences.
- Time-saving: Users can make adjustments without having to physically interact with the peripheral device.
- Greater control: Users have the ability to fine-tune the multimedia presentation characteristics to achieve the desired output.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method including: transmitting, by a control device, a first portion of content comprising a first portion of a signal corresponding to a multimedia presentation characteristic of a peripheral device; receiving, when an adjustment of the signal is below an adjustment threshold, a first instance of an input indicating a request to change the multimedia presentation characteristic; in response to receiving the first instance of the input, adjusting a second portion of the signal and transmitting a second portion of the content comprising the adjusted second portion of the signal; receiving, when the adjustment of the signal is at or above the adjustment threshold, a second instance of the input; and transmitting, in response to receiving the second instance of the input, a communication signal to the peripheral device to adjust a peripheral device control of an output of the multimedia presentation characteristic.
