Crowd-based device configuration selection of a music teaching system

A method for determining an Input/Output (I/O) device configuration for a music teaching system, wherein the I/O device configuration comprises a speaker configuration, a microphone configuration, or both, the method comprising;

• receiving from at least one first music teaching system used by at least one first user for at least one first environmental parameter:
• at least one first sound capturing-configuration for I/O devices of the at least one first music teaching system;
• at least one first score indicative of at least one first user experience and information about the at least one first environmental parameter;
• and
• information about the at least one first environmental parameter;
• receiving from at least one second music teaching system used by at least one second user in a at least one second environmental parameter:
• at least one second configuration for I/O devices of the at least one second music teaching system;
• at least one second score indicative of at least one second user experience and information about the at least one second environmental parameter;
• and
• information about the at least one second environmental parameter;
• and
• upon at least one third user initiating a music learning session with at least one third music teaching system having an initial configuration in at least one third environmental parameter:
• receiving a third input indicative of a third background music (BGM) to be output by the I/O device and, while providing the third BGM output:
• capturing through at least one microphone of the I/O device, a third sound of a third instrument played by the third user;
• and
• processing third sound data relating to the third captured sound
• determining, based on the at least one first score and the at least one second score and further based on the third BGM and the processing of the third sound data, at least one third configuration to be applied to the at least one third music teaching system for at least one third environmental parameter;
• wherein for the at least one third configuration of the music teaching system, under the at least one third environmental parameter, the following is improved:
• instrument sound recognition by the I/O device;
• or
• composite sound quality comprising the BGM output and the instrument sound;
• or both;
• and
• transmitting the at least one third configuration to the at least one third music teaching system, such that the at least one third music teaching system can apply the at least one third configuration.

A system configured to determine an Input/Output (I/O) device configuration for a music teaching system, wherein the I/O device configuration comprises a speaker configuration, a microphone configuration, or both, the method comprising:

• a memory configured to store data and software instructions, and
• a processor which, when executing the software instructions, allows the execution of the following steps:
• receiving model information about the given I/O device;
• receiving an initial I/O device configuration of the given I/O device;
• receiving system usage characteristics of the given I/O device for the initial I/O device configuration,
• receiving an input indicative of background music (BGM) to be output by the given I/O device;
• while providing the BGM output:
• capturing through at least one microphone of the given I/O device, sound of an instrument played by a user;
• processing sound data relating to the captured sound;
• and
• receiving, information about a plurality of I/O devices of the same model as the given I/O device, wherein the received information comprises respective I/O device configurations, associated system usage characteristics and scores;
• determining, based on the received information about the plurality of I/O devices, and further based on the selected background music (BGM) and the processing of the sound data, whether the initial I/O device configuration of the given I/O Device is to be updated to obtain an updated I/O device configuration
• wherein for the updated configuration, one of the following is improved:
• instrument sound recognition by the I/O device;
• or
• composite sound quality comprising the BGM output and the instrument sound;
• or both.
