Abstract
One general aspect includes a method for electric overcurrent protection, the method including: calculating, via a controller, a system electric current sum; receiving, via the controller, audio production electric current data; comparing, via the controller, the system electric current sum and audio production electric current data; and when the audio production electric current data exceeds the system electric current sum, invoke a fail-soft action configured to prevent electric overcurrent from being delivered to an audio speaker.

A method for electric overcurrent protection, the method comprising:
- calculating, via a controller, a system electric current sum;
- receiving, via the controller, audio production electric current data;
- comparing, via the controller, the system electric current sum and audio production electric current data;
- and
- when the audio production electric current data exceeds the system electric current sum, invoke a fail-soft action configured to prevent electric overcurrent from being delivered to an audio speaker.
A system for electric overcurrent protection, the system comprising:
- a memory configured to comprise one or more executable instructions;
- a controller configured to execute the executable instructions;
- wherein the executable instructions enable the controller to:
- calculate a system electric current sum;
- receive audio production electric current data;
- compare the system electric current sum and audio production electric current data;
- and
- when the audio production electric current data exceeds the system electric current sum, invoke a fail-soft action configured to prevent electric overcurrent from being delivered to an audio speaker.
A non-transitory and machine-readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions adapted to enable electric overcurrent protection, which when provided to a controller and executed thereby, causes the controller to:
- calculate a system electric current sum;
- receive audio production electric current data;
- compare the system electric current sum and audio production electric current data;
- and
- when the audio production electric current data exceeds the system electric current sum, invoke a fail-soft action configured to prevent electric overcurrent from being delivered to an audio speaker.
