Audio reproduction system with a data feedback channel
First Claim
1. Audio reproduction system with a feedback channel, comprising an audio signal delivery device (PC, S, VCR) to supply an audio signal (s, r);
- a data delivery device (S, A) to supply data (d, rd) for control and/or monitoring purposes;
a mixing device (M) to mix the audio signal (r) and the data (rd) before their combined reproduction;
at least one loudspeaker (L1-L5) to reproduce an acoustic sound signal (sw+sd) generated from the audio signal (r) and the data (rd);
a receiving device (MIC, C) to receive the sound signal (sw+sd); and
a receiver-side data processing device (PC;
C) to process the data (sd) contained in the sound signal (sw+sd) and to trigger corresponding actions to be performed;
characterized in that the data processing device (PC;
C) together with the receiving device is in the form of a data feedback channel for the data (rd, sd), including a device preceding the loudspeaker, specifically, the audio signal delivery device (PC;
S, VCR), and/or data delivery device (S, A), to control and/or monitor these devices.

Abstract
The invention relates to an audio reproduction system with an audio signal delivery device (PC, S, VCR) to supply an audio signal (s, r), a data delivery device (S, A) to supply data (d, rd) for control and/or monitoring purposes, a mixing device (M) to mix the audio signal (r), and data (rd) before these are reproduced in combined form, at least one loudspeaker (L1-L5) to reproduce an acoustic sound signal (sw+sd), a receiving device (MIC, C) to receive the sound signal (sw+sd), and a receiver-side data processing device (PC, C) to process the data (sd) contained in the sound signal (sw+sd) and to trigger corresponding actions to be performed. In order to be able to handle arrangement errors for the loudspeakers, disturbances on the transmission paths of the audio signals to the loudspeakers, or preferred temporary locations of a listener (P), it is proposed that the data processing device (PC, C) together with the receiver for monitoring reproduction conditions be designed in a form analogous to a data feedback channel for the data (rd, sd) together with the audio signal delivery device (PC, S, VCR) and/or the data delivery device (S, A) for the purpose of controlling and/or monitoring these devices.

8. Method for reproducing at least one audio signal (r), comprising an audio reproduction system, specifically, comprising an audio reproduction system according to a foregoing claim, in which
the at least one audio signal (r) is supplied for reproduction; -
at least one data value or data signal is supplied as data (rd);
the audio signal (r) and the data value (rd) are mixed;
the mixed signal (r+rd, s+sd) is emitted through at least one loudspeaker (L1-L5) as an acoustic signal (sw+sd);
the acoustic signal (sw+sd) is received by a receiving device (MIC); and
on the receiver side, the received data (sd, rd) is processed to trigger corresponding actions to be performed;
characterized in that the data contained on the receiver side (sd, rd) is utilized in a form analogous to feedback data for the transmitter-side procedural steps. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
