APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUDIO CONTENT DIAGNOSTICS

摘要

Media content systems and methods are operable to detect sound using one or more microphones during presentation of a media content event. The audio content output is changed by a remedial action that is performed if the audio content detected by the microphones does not correspond to the intended audio content of the presented media content event.

主权项

1. A method that presents media content, the method comprising:
detecting sound using at least one microphone, wherein the detected sound includes at least audio content that is being output from at least one speaker; determining a detected audio characteristic from the detected sound; determining an intended audio characteristic from audio content of a media content event that is currently being presented,
wherein the intended audio characteristic is the same as the detected audio characteristic, andwherein the intended audio content characteristic is determined during a duration that the sound detection occurs; comparing the determined detected audio characteristic with the determined intended audio characteristic; and performing at least one remedial action in response to the detected audio characteristic not matching the intended audio characteristic, wherein the remedial action changes the audio content that is being output from the at least one speaker.
