WIRELESS AUDIO SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240196120 titled 'WIRELESS AUDIO SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a loudspeaker system that can operate in single-channel mode or multi-channel mode, with the ability to selectively reproduce signals through different loudspeakers.

  • The system can reproduce a substantially identical signal through two loudspeakers in single-channel mode.
  • In multi-channel mode, each loudspeaker reproduces a different channel signal.
  • A mode selector allows users to switch between single-channel and multi-channel modes.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Selective operation of loudspeakers in single-channel or multi-channel modes.
  • Simultaneous reproduction of identical signals in single-channel mode.
  • Independent reproduction of different channel signals in multi-channel mode.
  • Mode selector for easy switching between modes.

Potential Applications

The technology can be used in home audio systems, theaters, concert venues, and other audio playback environments where flexibility in signal reproduction is desired.

Problems Solved

The system addresses the need for versatile signal reproduction in loudspeaker systems, allowing users to choose between single-channel and multi-channel modes based on their audio preferences.

Benefits

  • Enhanced audio experience with the ability to reproduce different channel signals.
  • Flexibility in signal reproduction for various audio playback scenarios.
  • Improved user control over the loudspeaker system.

Commercial Applications

  • Home entertainment systems
  • Professional audio setups in theaters and concert halls
  • Audio production studios

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.
