Abstract
Systems and methods for enhancing the audio experience on a consumer electronic device are disclosed. More particularly systems and methods for optimizing the audio performance of individual consumer electronic devices as part of a manufacturing process and/or retail experience are disclosed. A system for enhancing the audio performance of a consumer electronic device including a parametrically configurable processing block is disclosed.
Claims28
A system for optimizing the audio performance of a consumer electronics device comprising:
- an audio testing component for deriving an audio test dataset from the consumer electronics device;
- a master design record for outputting a reference dataset;
- an audio parameter generator for deriving one or more optimal audio parameters from the audio test dataset and the reference dataset;
- and
- a programming unit to program the optimal audio parameters onto the consumer electronics device.
A tuning rig for optimizing the acoustic performance of a consumer electronics device configured to accept one or more programmable audio parameters, comprising:
- an acoustic test chamber configured to accept the consumer electronics device;
- one or more microphones placed within the acoustic test chamber;
- and
- a workstation in operable communication with the consumer electronics device and the microphones, configured to deliver one or more audio test signals to the consumer electronics device, receive one or more measured signals from the microphones and/or the consumer electronics device, and to program at least a portion of the audio parameters.
The tuning rig in accordance with 11, wherein the acoustic test chamber is an anechoic chamber or semi-anechoic chamber.

(canceled)
A method for enhancing audio performance of a consumer electronics device comprising:
- measuring at least a portion of an acoustic signature of the consumer electronics device;
- comparing the portion of the acoustic signature of the consumer electronics device to a master design record to produce one or more reconfigured compensation parameters;
- and
- programming the reconfigured compensation parameters onto the consumer electronics device.
A method for tuning audio performance of a consumer electronics device comprising:
- forming a master design record for the consumer electronics device comprising a reference audio parameter set and a reference audio test dataset;
- uploading the reference audio parameter set to the consumer electronics device;
- performing an audio test on the consumer electronics device to form a test dataset;
- comparing the test dataset with the reference dataset to form a new target acoustic response;
- generating a tuned audio parameter set from the reference audio test data and the new target acoustic response;
- and
- uploading the tuned audio parameter set to the consumer electronics device.
