Abstract
A method comprises detecting whether or not a frequency modulation broadcast receiver is tuned to an overdeviated frequency modulated broadcast, or is at a location where overdeviated frequency modulated broadcasts exist or has received a user input indicating the presence of an overdeviated frequency modulated broadcast; and in response to the detection, automatically adjusting operation of the frequency modulated broadcast receiver. Automatically adjusting operation comprises adjusting one or more parameters or settings in such a way as to alter the susceptibility of a speaker arrangement to the possibility of being overdriven by overdeviated frequency modulated broadcasts.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- detecting whether or not a frequency modulation broadcast receiver is tuned to an overdeviated frequency modulated broadcast, or is at a location where overdeviated frequency modulated broadcasts exist or has received a user input indicating the presence of an overdeviated frequency modulated broadcast;
- and
- in response to the detection, automatically adjusting operation of the frequency modulated broadcast receiver,
- wherein automatically adjusting operation comprises adjusting one or more parameters or settings in such a way as to alter the susceptibility of a speaker arrangement to the possibility of being overdriven by overdeviated frequency modulated broadcasts.
Apparatus configured for detecting that a frequency modulation broadcast receiver is not tuned to an overdeviated frequency modulated broadcast, or is not at a location where overdeviated frequency modulated broadcasts exist;
- and
- configured for responsive to the detection for automatically adjusting one or more parameters or settings in such a way as to increase the susceptibility of a speaker arrangement to the possibility of being overdriven by overdeviated frequency modulated broadcasts.
Apparatus comprising at least one processor, at least one memory, and at least one computer program stored in the at least one memory, wherein the apparatus is configured to:
- detect whether or not at least one of the following conditions is present:
- a) a frequency modulation broadcast receiver is tuned to an overdeviated frequency modulated broadcast, or
- b) the frequency modulation broadcast receiver is at a location where overdeviated frequency modulated broadcasts exist, or
- c) the apparatus has received a user input indicating the presence of an overdeviated frequency modulated broadcast;
- and
- to respond to the detection by automatically adjusting operation of the frequency modulated broadcast receiver, wherein automatically adjusting operation comprises adjusting one or more parameters or settings in such a way as to alter the susceptibility of a speaker arrangement to the possibility of being overdriven by overdeviated frequency modulated broadcasts.
Apparatus comprising hardware or hardware and software, the apparatus being configured to:
- detect whether or not at least one of the following conditions is present:
- a) a frequency modulation broadcast receiver is tuned to an overdeviated frequency modulated broadcast, or
- b) the frequency modulation broadcast receiver is at a location where overdeviated frequency modulated broadcasts exist, or
- c) the apparatus has received a user input indicating the presence of an overdeviated frequency modulated broadcast;
- and
- to respond to the detection by automatically adjusting operation of the frequency modulated broadcast receiver, wherein automatically adjusting operation comprises adjusting one or more parameters or settings in such a way as to alter the susceptibility of a speaker arrangement to the possibility of being overdriven by overdeviated frequency modulated broadcasts.
A computer readable medium having stored thereon computer code for execution by computer apparatus control, the computer readable medium comprising:
- computer code for detecting whether or not a frequency modulation broadcast receiver is tuned to an overdeviated frequency modulated broadcast, or is at a location where overdeviated frequency modulated broadcasts exist or has received a user input indicating the presence of an overdeviated frequency modulated broadcast;
- and
- computer code for responding response to the detection by automatically adjusting operation of the frequency modulated broadcast receiver, wherein automatically adjusting operation comprises adjusting one or more parameters or settings in such a way as to alter the susceptibility of a speaker arrangement to the possibility of being overdriven by overdeviated frequency modulated broadcasts.
