Abstract
Systems and methods for automatically adjusting device volume based on learned volume preferences are disclosed herein. A first device receives a wireless signal from a second device. A signal strength of the wireless signal is determined, and a location of the second device is determined based on the signal strength of the wireless signal. Historical volume level data for the first device is retrieved from memory. A target volume level for the first device is determined based on the location of the second device and the historical volume level data. A volume setting of the first device is automatically adjusted to the target volume level.
Claims20
A method for automatically adjusting device volume based on learned volume preferences, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a first device, a wireless signal from a second device;
- determining a signal strength of the wireless signal;
- determining a location of the second device based on the signal strength of the wireless signal;
- retrieving historical volume level data stored in memory for the first device;
- determining a target volume level for the first device based on the location of the second device and the historical volume level data;
- and
- automatically adjusting a volume setting of the first device to the target volume level.
A device with automatic volume adjustment based on learned volume preferences, the device comprising:
- a communication port configured to receive a wireless signal from a second device;
- a memory configured to store historical volume level data;
- and
- control circuitry configured to:
- determine a signal strength of the wireless signal;
- determine a location of the second device based on the signal strength of the wireless signal;
- retrieve the historical volume level data from the memory;
- determine a target volume level for the first device based on the location of the second device and the historical volume level data;
- and
- automatically adjust a volume setting of the first device to the target volume level.
