INDEPENDENT GAME AND CHAT VOLUME CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240342591 titled 'INDEPENDENT GAME AND CHAT VOLUME CONTROL

The abstract of the patent application describes methods and systems for independent audio volume control in an audio system, particularly in a hearing device.

  • The hearing device can adaptively control a first signal to provide an audio output based on a setting.
  • It can generate a new value for the setting in response to an input received at a specific time.
  • The device adjusts the setting from an old value to the new value with a delay relative to the specific time.
  • Adaptive controlling involves mixing the first signal with a second signal and applying volume adjustments to the audio output based on the setting.
  • The second signal may include audio from a game console and/or smartphone.

Potential Applications: - Hearing aids with advanced audio control features - Gaming headsets with personalized volume settings - Smartphone accessories for customized audio experiences

Problems Solved: - Providing individualized volume control for users with hearing impairments - Enhancing the audio experience by adapting to different audio sources

Benefits: - Improved user experience with personalized audio settings - Better accessibility for individuals with hearing difficulties - Seamless integration with various audio devices

Commercial Applications: Title: "Adaptive Audio Volume Control Technology for Hearing Devices" This technology can be used in hearing aids, headphones, and other audio devices to offer customized volume control solutions. It has the potential to attract customers looking for personalized audio experiences and accessibility features.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the adaptive control feature in the hearing device work? - The adaptive control feature in the hearing device adjusts the audio volume based on a setting that can be dynamically changed in response to external inputs, providing users with a personalized listening experience.

2. What are the benefits of integrating audio control with game consoles and smartphones? - Integrating audio control with game consoles and smartphones allows users to seamlessly switch between different audio sources while maintaining their preferred volume settings, enhancing the overall audio experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

methods and systems are provided for independent audio volume control. an example audio system may include a hearing device operable to adaptively control a first signal, according to a setting, to provide an audio output. the hearing device may be operable to generate a new value of the setting according to an input that is received at a particular time, and adjust the setting from an old value to the new value according to a delay with respect to the particular time. the adaptive controlling may include one or both of mixing of the first signal with a second signal and applying a volume adjustment of the audio output according to the setting. the second signal may include audio generated via a game console and/or via a smartphone.
