One method for controlling audio volume includes receiving a user input requesting a first volume-type that is associated with a first audible volume level, and responsive to receiving the user input, modifying an audio signal to achieve the first audible volume level.
Claims33
A method for controlling an audio volume level that is output by a display device, comprising:
- receiving a first user input requesting a first volume-type that is associated with a first audible volume level;
- and
- responsive to receiving the first user input, modifying an audio signal to achieve the first audible volume level.
A method for controlling an audio volume level that is output by a display device, comprising:
- receiving a first user input requesting that a first volume level be associated with a first volume-type;
- responsive to receiving the first user input, establishing an association between the first volume level and the first volume-type;
- receiving a second user input requesting the first volume-type;
- responsive to receiving the second user input, causing the first volume level to be provided to the user.
A system comprising:
- a receiver for receiving user input;
- and
- a processor that is coupled to the receiver and that is programmed to:
- establish an association between a first volume level and a first volume-type, responsive to the receiver receiving a first user input requesting the association between the first volume level and the first volume-type;
- and
- cause the first volume level to be provided to a user, responsive to the receiver receiving a second user input requesting the first volume-type.
A system comprising:
- a receiver for receiving user input;
- and
- a processor that is programmed to:
- modify an audio signal to achieve a first audible volume level, responsive to the receiver receiving a first user input requesting a first volume-type that is associated with the first audible volume level.
A method for controlling an audio volume level that is output by a display device, comprising:
- receiving a first user input requesting a first television service that is associated with a first audible volume level;
- and
- responsive to receiving the first user input, providing the first television service and modifying an audio signal to achieve the first audible volume level.
A method for controlling an audio volume level that is output by a display device, comprising:
- receiving a first user input requesting that a first volume level be associated with a first television service;
- responsive to receiving the first user input, establishing an association between the first volume level and the first television service;
- receiving a second user input requesting the first television service;
- responsive to receiving the second user input, providing the first television service and causing the first volume level to be provided to the user.
A system comprising:
- a receiver for receiving user input;
- and
- a processor that is coupled to the receiver and that is programmed to:
- establish an association between a first volume level and a first television service, responsive to the receiver receiving a first user input requesting the association between the first volume level and the first television service;
- and
- cause the first television service and the first volume level to be provided to a user, responsive to the receiver receiving a second user input requesting the first television service.
