SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A VISUAL INDICATOR TO IDENTIFY A LOCATION OF A CEILING MOUNTED LOUDSPEAKER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240036806 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A VISUAL INDICATOR TO IDENTIFY A LOCATION OF A CEILING MOUNTED LOUDSPEAKER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system and method for generating a visual indicator in a loudspeaker to identify its location in a room. The system includes at least two loudspeaker assemblies, each capable of receiving digitally encoded audio signals and other digital signals. Each loudspeaker assembly has a unique digital address and at least one loudspeaker. The system also includes at least one processor, an input device, and a memory.

  • The system includes at least two loudspeaker assemblies, each with a unique digital address and capable of receiving digitally encoded audio signals and other digital signals.
  • The system also includes at least one processor that is communicatively coupled to each of the loudspeaker assemblies.
  • An input device is communicatively coupled to the processor.
  • The memory is operatively connected to the processor and stores computer-executable instructions.
  • The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to execute a method.
  • The method involves receiving an input from the input device indicating which loudspeaker assembly to identify the location of.
  • The method also involves generating a message containing commands and data to generate a visual indicator in the indicated loudspeaker assembly.
  • The message is transmitted to the indicated loudspeaker assembly.
  • The visual indicator is generated at the indicated loudspeaker assembly according to the message.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Home theater systems: The visual indicator can help users identify the location of each loudspeaker in a surround sound setup, enhancing the audio experience.
  • Conference rooms: The visual indicator can assist in identifying the location of loudspeakers during meetings or presentations, ensuring optimal audio distribution.
  • Public address systems: The visual indicator can be used in large venues or outdoor events to help locate specific loudspeakers for announcements or emergency notifications.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Difficulty in identifying the location of loudspeakers in a room, especially in complex audio setups.
  • Inefficient communication between users and loudspeakers in terms of identifying specific locations.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user experience by providing a visual indicator to easily identify the location of loudspeakers.
  • Enhanced audio distribution and localization in various settings.
  • Simplified setup and configuration of audio systems by facilitating the identification of loudspeaker locations.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system and method are described herein for generating a visual indicator in a loudspeaker to identify a location of the loudspeaker in a room, the system and method comprising: at least two loudspeaker assemblies, each of which are adapted to receive digitally encoded audio signals and other digital signals, each of the at least two loudspeaker assemblies having a unique digital address and each comprising at least one loudspeaker; at least one processor communicatively coupled to each of the at least two loudspeaker assemblies; an input device communicatively coupled to the at least one processor; and a memory operatively connected with the at least one processor, wherein the memory stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to execute a method that comprises: receiving an input from the input device at the at least one processor, the input indicating which one of the at least two loudspeaker assemblies to identify a location thereof; generating a message to be transmitted to the indicated loudspeaker assembly, wherein the message contains commands and data to generate a visual indicator in the indicated loudspeaker assembly; transmitting the message to the indicated loudspeaker assembly; and generating the visual indicator according to the message at the indicated loudspeaker assembly.
