WIRELESS AUDIO SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18587479 titled 'WIRELESS AUDIO SYSTEMS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a loudspeaker system that can operate in single-channel mode, where two loudspeakers reproduce the same signal, or in multi-channel mode, where each loudspeaker reproduces a different signal. A mode selector allows switching between these modes based on proximity to other loudspeaker systems.
- The loudspeaker system can operate in single-channel mode with both loudspeakers reproducing the same signal or in multi-channel mode with each loudspeaker playing a different signal.
- A mode selector enables switching between single-channel and multi-channel modes.
- Proximity to other loudspeaker systems can trigger the mode selector to change the operating mode.
- Multi-zone loudspeaker systems are also covered in the patent application.
Key Features and Innovation
- Selective operation in single-channel or multi-channel modes.
- Simultaneous reproduction of identical signals in single-channel mode.
- Independent reproduction of different signals in multi-channel mode.
- Mode selector for switching between modes.
- Proximity-based mode selection for enhanced functionality.
- Coverage of multi-zone loudspeaker systems.
Potential Applications
The technology can be used in home audio systems, professional sound setups, public address systems, and multi-room audio installations.
Problems Solved
The patent addresses the need for flexible loudspeaker systems that can adapt to different audio requirements without manual intervention.
Benefits
- Enhanced audio versatility.
- Seamless transition between single-channel and multi-channel modes.
- Improved user experience in various audio setups.
- Automatic mode selection based on proximity for convenience.
Commercial Applications
- Home entertainment systems.
- Concert venues and event spaces.
- Conference rooms and public address systems.
- Multi-room audio installations for residential and commercial properties.

Questions about Loudspeaker Systems
How does the mode selector work in the loudspeaker system described in the patent application?
The mode selector allows users to switch between single-channel and multi-channel modes, providing flexibility in audio reproduction based on their preferences or the proximity of other loudspeaker systems.
What are the potential benefits of using a loudspeaker system with proximity-based mode selection?
Proximity-based mode selection offers convenience and automation in adapting the loudspeaker system's operation to the surrounding environment, enhancing the user experience and optimizing audio output.
Original Abstract Submitted
A loudspeaker system can have first and second loudspeakers selectively operable in a single-channel mode or in a multi-channel mode. In the single-channel mode, the first and the second loudspeakers are configured to simultaneously reproduce a substantially identical signal. In the multi-channel mode, the first loudspeaker reproduces a first-channel signal and the second loudspeaker reproduces a second-channel signal. The first-channel signal and the second-channel signal can constitute respective portions of a multi-channel signal. Such loudspeaker systems can also have a mode selector configured to select one of the single-channel mode and the multi-channel mode. In some embodiments, such selection can occur in response to one or more detected proximities of another loudspeaker system. Multi-zone loudspeaker systems are also disclosed.
