Volume Control Device for An Audio Delivery System - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240015440 titled 'Volume Control Device for An Audio Delivery System

Simplified Explanation

The audio delivery system described in the patent application includes a volume control device that can adjust a sound system to compensate for the effects of mobile sound sources, such as people entering or leaving a space. The volume control device is equipped with a direction of arrival microphone that consists of multiple microphones. It also includes a computer processor and memory.

  • The system uses the direction of arrival microphone to identify and track the mobile sound sources.
  • It analyzes the effect of these sound sources on the space.
  • It transmits control signals to the sound system via a communications device to adjust the volume of the speaker and compensate for the impact of the mobile sound sources.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Public spaces: The system can be used in places like airports, train stations, or shopping malls to automatically adjust the volume of the sound system based on the movement of people.
  • Conference rooms: It can be employed in conference rooms to maintain a consistent audio level even when participants enter or leave the room.
  • Theaters and auditoriums: The system can ensure that the sound quality remains consistent regardless of the movement of the audience.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inconsistent audio levels: The system addresses the issue of fluctuating audio levels caused by mobile sound sources, providing a more consistent listening experience.
  • Manual adjustment: It eliminates the need for manual volume adjustments when people enter or leave a space, saving time and effort.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user experience: The system ensures a consistent audio level, enhancing the overall listening experience for individuals in the space.
  • Automation: It automates the volume adjustment process, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
  • Efficiency: The system optimizes the audio delivery by dynamically adjusting the volume based on the movement of sound sources, improving efficiency and convenience.


Original Abstract Submitted

an audio delivery system includes a volume control device for controlling a sound system to adjust for the effects of mobile sound sources, such as people entering or leaving a space. the volume control device includes a direction of arrival microphone having a plurality of microphones, and a computer processor and a computer memory. the computer memory stores executable code that enables the system to identify and track the mobile sound sources via the direction of arrival microphone, determine the effect of the sound sources on the space, and transmit control signals, via a communications device, to the sound system, for adjusting a volume of the speaker to adjust for the effect of the mobile sound sources.
