Abstract
Examples relate to a network-connected audio system for adjusting speaker settings. An example network-connected audio system may comprise a hardware processor that plays audio files. The example network-connected audio system may also comprise a user detection engine that detects that a first user is connected to the audio system, as well as a settings engine that determines that a first type of audio file is to be played, and changes audio settings of the audio system to a first set of audio settings responsive to determining that the first type of audio file is to be played and responsive to determining that the first user is connected to the audio system.
Claims15
A network-connected audio system for adjusting speaker settings, the audio system comprising:
- a hardware processor that plays audio files;
- and
- a user detection engine that detects that a first user is connected to the audio system;
- a settings engine that:
- determines that a first type of audio file is to be played;
- and
- changes audio settings of the audio system to a first set of audio settings responsive to determining that the first type of audio file is to be played and responsive to determining that the first user is connected to the audio system.
A network-connected audio system for adjusting speaker settings, the audio system comprising:
- a processor implementing machine-readable instructions to cause the audio system to:
- detect that a first user is connected to the audio system;
- manage a plurality of sets of audio settings, wherein each set of audio settings is associated with a respective user and a respective type of audio file;
- determine that a first audio file is to be played;
- determine a first type of the audio file;
- change audio settings of the audio system to a first set of audio settings of the plurality of sets of audio settings responsive to determining that the first type of audio file is to be played and responsive to determining that the first user is connected to the audio system;
- and
- play the first audio file at the first set of audio settings.
A method for adjusting speaker settings of a network-connected audio system, the method comprising:
- detecting, by the network-connected audio system, that a first user is connected to the audio system;
- managing, by the network-connected audio system, a plurality of sets of audio settings, wherein each set of audio settings is associated with a respective user and a respective type of audio file;
- determining, by the network-connected audio system, that a first audio file is to be played;
- determining, by the network-connected audio system, a first type of the audio file;
- changing, by the network-connected audio system, audio settings of the audio system to a first set of audio settings of the plurality of sets of audio settings responsive to determining that the first type of audio file is to be played and responsive to determining that the first user is connected to the audio system;
- playing, by the network-connected audio system, the first audio file at the first set of audio settings;
- determining, by the network-connected audio system, that a second audio file is to be played;
- determining, by the network-connected audio system, a second type of the second file;
- and
- changing, by the network-connected audio system, audio settings of the audio system to a second set of audio settings of the plurality of sets of audio settings responsive to determining that the second type of audio file is to be played and responsive to determining that the second user is connected to the audio system;
- and
- playing, by the network-connected audio system, the second audio file at the second set of audio settings.
