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 20240048926 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A VISUAL INDICATOR TO IDENTIFY A LOCATION OF A CEILING MOUNTED LOUDSPEAKER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application 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 comprises at least one loudspeaker. The system also includes at least one processor communicatively coupled to each loudspeaker assembly, an input device communicatively coupled to the processor, and a memory connected to the processor.

  • The system includes at least two loudspeaker assemblies, each with a unique digital address, that can receive digitally encoded audio signals and other digital signals.
  • Each loudspeaker assembly comprises at least one loudspeaker.
  • The system includes at least one processor that is communicatively coupled to each loudspeaker assembly.
  • An input device is communicatively coupled to the processor.
  • The memory stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to execute a method.
  • The method includes receiving an input from the input device indicating which loudspeaker assembly to identify the location of.
  • The method generates 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 indicated loudspeaker assembly generates the visual indicator according to the message.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Identifying the location of loudspeakers in a room for audio calibration or optimization.
  • Providing visual cues for sound localization in immersive audio systems.
  • Assisting in the setup and configuration of multi-speaker audio systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Difficulty in identifying the location of specific loudspeakers in a room, especially in complex audio setups.
  • Lack of visual indicators to assist in audio system calibration or optimization.
  • Limited ability to provide visual cues for sound localization in immersive audio systems.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and efficiency in audio system calibration and optimization.
  • Enhanced user experience in immersive audio systems with visual cues for sound localization.
  • Simplified setup and configuration of multi-speaker audio systems.


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.
