AUDIO RENDERING DEVICE AND AUDIO CONFIGURATOR DEVICE FOR AUDIO STREAM SELECTION, AND RELATED METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18519709 titled 'AUDIO RENDERING DEVICE AND AUDIO CONFIGURATOR DEVICE FOR AUDIO STREAM SELECTION, AND RELATED METHODS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes audio rendering devices with wireless communication capabilities that can prioritize and play audio streams based on a remote audio stream prioritization policy.
- Audio rendering devices with at least one audio rendering unit, processing circuit, and wireless communication unit
- Receive a remote audio stream prioritization policy and update a local policy accordingly
- Identify available audio streams via wireless links and retrieve their attributes
- Select and play an available audio stream based on the updated policy and stream attributes
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in:
- Smart speakers
- Wireless headphones
- Car audio systems
Problems Solved
- Efficient management of multiple audio streams
- Seamless playback of prioritized audio content
Benefits
- Enhanced user experience
- Optimal utilization of available audio resources
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing audio playback in various consumer electronic devices
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of audio streaming services that allow users to prioritize their playlists based on personal preferences.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device handle interruptions in the audio stream playback?
The patent application does not specify how the device manages interruptions in audio stream playback, such as network connectivity issues or incoming calls.
What security measures are in place to protect the remote audio stream prioritization policy?
The patent application does not detail the security protocols implemented to safeguard the remote audio stream prioritization policy from unauthorized access or tampering.
Original Abstract Submitted
Audio rendering devices comprising at least one audio rendering unit for playing audio streams, processing circuit and a wireless communication unit for establishing wireless links and related method are disclosed. One audio rendering device is configured to receive a remote audio stream prioritization policy comprising one or more lists of associations between audio stream attributes and priority values, update a local audio stream prioritization policy based on the remote audio stream prioritization policy, identify audio streams available via wireless links, retrieve audio stream attributes of the available audio streams, select an available audio stream to be played among the available audio streams, based on the updated local audio stream prioritization policy and based on the audio stream attributes of the available audio streams, and play the selected audio stream, by the audio rendering unit of the audio rendering device.
