Time Heuristic Audio Control

A time heuristic audio system, comprising:

• an analysis block that is configured to transform digitized ambient sound into a frequency domain, and to determine a distribution of the digitized ambient sound within an audible frequency spectrum;
• an ambient sound characterization block that is configured to develop an ambient sound profile based on the distribution of the digitized ambient sound within the audible frequency spectrum determined by the analysis block;
• a time-based heuristic learning and characterization block that is configured to access instructions related to a particular set of processing parameters based on time-based data;
• an audio parameter memory that is configured to store sets of processing parameters, and is configured to retrieve one of the sets of processing parameters based on the instructions related to the particular set of processing parameters accessed by the time-based heuristic learning and characterization block and on the ambient sound profile developed by the ambient sound characterization block;
• and
• an audio processing block that is configured to generate processed ambient sound by processing the digitized ambient sound according to the one of the sets of processing parameters retrieved by the audio parameter memory.
