DISTRIBUTED WIRELESS SPEAKER SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION DETERMINATION WHEN NEW SPEAKERS ARE ADDED

摘要

In an audio speaker network, setup of speaker location, sound track or channel assignation, and speaker parameters is facilitated by an application detecting speaker locations and prompting a user to input rough room boundaries and a desired listener location in the room. Based on this, optimum speaker locations/frequency assignations/speaker parameters may be determined and output.

主权项

1. A device comprising:
at least one computer readable storage medium bearing instructions executable by a processor; at least one processor configured for accessing the computer readable storage medium to execute the instructions to configure the processor for: determining that one or more audio speakers are present on a network of audio speakers in a speaker arrangement, each speaker being associated with a respective network address so that each speaker may be addressed by a computer accessing the network; prompting a user to input dimensions of at least one enclosure in which the network at least partially is disposed; prompting the user to input at least a desired listening position and/or a number of listeners on which the acoustic model is to be based; determining whether the speaker arrangement meets at least one acoustic requirement; responsive to a determination that the speaker arrangement does not meet the acoustic requirement, indicating to the user that the speaker arrangement does not meet the acoustic requirement and prompting the user to adjust one or more of speaker location, orientation, frequency assignation, speaker parameters.
