CROWD-SOURCED AUDIO DATA FOR VENUE EQUALIZATION

摘要

Mobile devices may capture audio signals indicative of test audio received by an audio capture device of the mobile device; and send the captured audio and the zone designation to a sound processor to determine equalization settings for speakers of the zone of the venue. An audio filtering device may receive the captured audio signals from the mobile devices; compare each of the captured audio signals with the test signal to determine an associated reliability of each of the captured audio signals; combine the captured audio signals into zone audio data; and transmit the zone audio data and associated reliability to a sound processor configured to determine equalization settings for the zone based on the captured audio signals and the test signal.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
an audio filtering device configured to
receive captured audio signals from a plurality of mobile devices located within a zone of a venue, the captured audio signals determined by audio capture devices of the respective mobile devices in response to receipt of test audio generated by speakers of the venue reproducing a test signal, wherin each of the captured audio signals includes a respective zone designation indicative of the zone of the venue within whivh the respective captured audio signal was captured; combine the captured audio signals into zone audio data; and send the zone audio data to a sound processor configured to determine equalization settings for the zone based on the captured audio signals and the test signal.
