AUDIO CONTROL SYSTEM, AUDIO CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240056759 titled 'AUDIO CONTROL SYSTEM, AUDIO CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an audio control system that includes a microphone in a second space and a loudspeaker in either the first or second space. The system obtains sound data from the microphone and stores sound source data in a storage. A controller then reproduces the audio obtained from the sound source data louder in the second space than in the first space. The controller determines the loudness of the sound indicated in the sound data and adjusts the sound volume of the audio outputted from the loudspeaker to be lower as the loudness of the sound increases.
- The system includes an obtainer that obtains sound data from a microphone in a second space.
- Sound source data is stored in a storage.
- A controller causes a loudspeaker in either the first or second space to reproduce the audio obtained from the sound source data louder in the second space than in the first space.
- The controller determines the loudness of the sound indicated in the sound data.
- The controller adjusts the sound volume of the audio outputted from the loudspeaker to be lower as the loudness of the sound increases.
Potential Applications:
- Enhancing audio in a specific area or room while reducing the volume in other areas.
- Providing personalized audio experiences in different spaces.
- Improving sound quality and clarity in specific locations.
Problems Solved:
- Uneven distribution of sound in different spaces.
- Difficulty in adjusting audio volume based on the loudness of the sound.
- Inability to control audio output in specific areas.
Benefits:
- Improved audio experience in targeted spaces.
- Enhanced sound quality and clarity.
- Customizable audio control based on the loudness of the sound.
Original Abstract Submitted
an audio control system includes: an obtainer that obtains sound data indicating a sound picked up by a microphone disposed in a second space located in an area surrounding a first space used by a person; a storage in which sound source data is stored; and a controller that causes a loudspeaker disposed in the first space or the second space to reproduce an audio obtained from the sound source data more loudly in the second space than in the first space. the controller determines a loudness the sound indicated in the sound data obtained, and adjusts a sound volume of the audio outputted from the loudspeaker to be lower with an increase in the loudness of the sound determined.
