Abstract
One example may include a method that includes receiving, at a presentation server, an audio data signal from a mobile device located in a presentation space, identifying a mobile device identification characteristic of the mobile device based on the received audio data signal, determining a mobile device location via a location determination procedure, and playing the audio signal via a loudspeaker.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a presentation server, an audio data signal from a mobile device located in a presentation space;
- identifying a mobile device identification characteristic of the mobile device based on the received audio data signal;
- identifying a microphone nearest a location where the mobile device is located based on the audio data signal being received from the mobile device at the nearest microphone;
- determining a location of the mobile device based on the location of the nearest microphone;
- and
- playing the audio signal via a loudspeaker.
An apparatus comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive, at a presentation server, an audio data signal from a mobile device located in a presentation space;
- and
- a processor configured to
- identify a mobile device identification characteristic of the mobile device based on the received audio data signal;
- identify a microphone nearest a location where the mobile device is located based on the audio data signal being received from the mobile device at the nearest microphone;
- determine a location of the mobile device based on the location of the nearest microphone;
- and
- play the audio signal via a loudspeaker.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
- receiving, at a presentation server, an audio data signal from a mobile device located in a presentation space;
- identifying a mobile device identification characteristic of the mobile device based on the received audio data signal;
- identifying a microphone nearest a location where the mobile device is located based on the audio data signal being received from the mobile device at the nearest microphone;
- determining a location of the mobile device based on the location of the nearest microphone;
- and
- playing the audio signal via a loudspeaker.
