AUTOMATIC LOUDSPEAKER DIRECTIVITY ADAPTATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240236597 titled 'AUTOMATIC LOUDSPEAKER DIRECTIVITY ADAPTATION
The abstract describes a method for automatic loudspeaker directivity adaptation based on room impulse responses, reverberation time, clarity, and speaker positions.
- The method involves measuring room impulse responses from loudspeakers to microphones, estimating reverberation time and clarity, and determining speaker positions.
- Directivity of the loudspeakers is automatically adjusted based on the estimated reverberation time, clarity, and speaker positions.
Potential Applications: - Audio systems in home theaters - Conference room sound systems - Public address systems in large venues
Problems Solved: - Ensuring optimal sound quality in different acoustic environments - Eliminating the need for manual adjustment of loudspeaker directivity
Benefits: - Improved audio performance - Seamless adaptation to changing room conditions - Enhanced user experience
Commercial Applications: - Audio equipment manufacturers - Event production companies - Venue owners and operators
Questions about Loudspeaker Directivity Adaptation: 1. How does this method improve the overall sound quality in different environments?
- The method optimizes loudspeaker directivity based on room characteristics to deliver the best possible audio experience.
2. What are the key factors that influence the automatic adaptation of loudspeaker directivity?
- Factors such as reverberation time, clarity, and speaker positions play a crucial role in determining the optimal directivity settings.
Original Abstract Submitted
one embodiment provides a method of automatic loudspeaker directivity adaptation. the method comprises measuring one or more room impulse responses (rirs) from one or more loudspeakers to one or more microphones of the one or more loudspeakers, estimating reverberation time and clarity based on the one or more rirs, and estimating one or more positions of the one or more loudspeakers based on the one or more rirs. the method further comprises automatically adapting directivity of the one or more loudspeakers based on the reverberation time estimated, the clarity estimated, and the one or more positions estimated.
