MEDIA PLAYBACK BASED ON SENSOR DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240214764 titled 'MEDIA PLAYBACK BASED ON SENSOR DATA
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for adjusting playback based on acoustic signals in a system with two network devices. The first device detects a user's presence using a camera and/or infrared sensors, then sends a signal to the second device. The second device receives the signal and plays back audio accordingly.
- The first network device detects a user's presence using a camera and/or infrared sensors.
- In response to detecting the user, the first device sends a signal via the network interface.
- The second network device receives the signal and plays back audio corresponding to the signal.
Potential Applications
1. Home entertainment systems 2. Interactive advertising displays 3. Virtual reality and augmented reality applications
Problems Solved
1. Enhancing user experience by adjusting audio playback based on user presence. 2. Improving interaction with devices through acoustic signals.
Benefits
1. Personalized audio experiences based on user presence. 2. Seamless integration of audio playback with user interaction.
Commercial Applications
"Acoustic Signal Playback System for Enhanced User Experience"
This technology can be utilized in smart home devices, interactive kiosks, and virtual reality headsets to provide a more immersive and personalized audio experience for users.
Questions about Acoustic Signal Playback System
The system can use unique identifiers or profiles to distinguish between different users in a shared space, allowing for personalized audio playback.
Can the system adapt to changes in the user's position or movement?
Yes, the system can adjust audio playback based on changes in the user's position or movement, providing a dynamic and responsive experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
example techniques relate to playback based on acoustic signals in a system including a first network device and a second network device. a first network device may detect a presence of a user using a camera and/or infrared sensors. the first network device sends, in response to detecting the presence of the user, a particular signal via the first network interface. the second network device receives data corresponding to the particular signal and plays back an audio output corresponding to the particular signal.
