Estimating the term…
A system comprises multiple speakers and a control unit. The speakers and the control unit are arranged to locate one another and to determine distances and preferably locations relative to one another, for example based on signal power measurements. Also a user position may be determined via a device close to the user, like a telephone or a watch. This information is used for processing audio data for rendering for optimal user experience. Based on locations of speakers relative to the user, dedicated functionality may be assigned to a speaker. The audio data to be reproduced may be processed and at least parts thereof may be assigned to a speaker, depending on the assigned functionality. Speaker modules may be added and assigned a functionality on the go. Capability for processing of audio and position data may be performed by any of a user device, speaker module or dedicated control module.
In a system comprising a first speaker device comprising and a second speaker device, a method of processing audio data, comprising:
Method according to any one or more than one preceding claim, the system further comprising a control module, further comprising:
Method according to any of the preceding claims, wherein processing the first audio data and the second audio data comprises adjusting a volume of at least one of the first audio data and the second audio data such that if the first audio data and the second audio data were to have the same signal, a first sound power level of sound originating from the first speaker device is substantially equal to a second sound power level of sound originating from the second speaker device at a position of the user device.
Method according to any of the preceding claims, wherein processing the first audio data and the second audio data comprises delaying rendering of at least one of the first audio data and the second audio data such that sound corresponding to a first segment of the first audio data having a first timestamp having a first value arrives at the position of the user device at substantially the same moment as a second segment of the second audio data having a first timestamp having a second value, the second value being substantially equal to the first value.
Method according to any of the preceding claim, wherein:
Method according to any of the preceding claims, wherein:
Processing device for a system for processing audio data, comprising:
Speaker device forming part of an audio processing system comprising multiple members, the speaker device comprising a speaker for producing sound based on audio data received by the speaker device, the speaker device comprising a communication module arranged to:
