Abstract
An audio processing scheme is described. In an example, an apparatus comprises: at least two acoustic sensors through which audio content is received; at least one other sensor; an audio processor connected to the sensors and configured to receive audio information from the acoustic sensors and other information from the other sensor. The audio processor is configured to determine a use case of the apparatus based on the audio information and the other information. The audio processor is configured to adjust at least one audio processing scheme for the apparatus based on the determined use case. In other examples, a method and a computer program product are described.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least two acoustic sensors through which audio content is received for a device;
- at least one other sensor;
- and
- an audio processor connected configured to receive the audio information from the at least two acoustic sensors and other information from the at least one other sensor;
- wherein the audio processor is configured to:
- determine a quality of a surface against which the device is oriented from the audio information or the other information,
- determine a use case of the device from a plurality of use cases based on the determined quality of the surface against which the device is oriented,
- determine movement of the user based on the determined use case of the device determined from the quality of the surface on which the device is oriented, and
- adjust at least one audio processing scheme for the received audio content based on the determined movement of the user.
A computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions for causing at least one processor of a computing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- receiving audio information from at least one acoustic sensor;
- receiving other information from at least one other sensor;
- receiving, by an audio processor, the audio information and the other information;
- determining a quality of a surface against which the device is oriented from the audio information or the other information;
- determining a use case of the device from a plurality of use cases based on the quality of the surface against which the device is oriented;
- determining movement of the user based on the determined use case of the device;
- and
- adjusting at least one audio processing scheme for the received audio content based on the determined movement of the user.
A method for adjusting audio of a computing apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving audio information from at least one acoustic sensor;
- receiving other information from at least one other sensor;
- determining a quality of a surface against which the device is oriented from the audio information or the other information;
- determining a use case of the device from a plurality of use cases based on the quality of the surface against which the device is oriented;
- determining movement of the user based on the determined use case of the device;
- and
- adjusting at least one audio processing scheme for the received audio content based on the determined movement of the user.
