Parameter adjustment in audio devices
First Claim
1. A method for adjusting parameters associated with an audio signal output from a device, the method comprising:
- outputting the audio signal from the device in accordance with a first interactive test profile presented on a user interface associated with the device during a first test period in which a first interaction with the user interface is capable of taking place to form a first adjustment profile having first adjustment levels associated with the parameters; and
outputting the audio signal from the device after the first test period such that the parameters are adjusted in accordance with the first adjustment levels of the first adjustment profile.

Abstract
A method (400, 600) and apparatus (500, 800) allow adjusting parameters associated with an audio signal output from a device. Tones are output according to a first interactive test profile presented on a user interface during a first test period. A first interaction forms a first adjustment profile with adjustment levels. The audio signal is output with parameters adjusted according to the first adjustment profile. The audio signal is output from the device in accordance with the first adjustment profile and a second interactive test profile. An interaction with the user interface forms a second adjustment profile having second adjustment levels and the audio signal is then adjusted in accordance with the second adjustment levels. The second interactive test profile includes a speech sample and an intelligibility parameter including a spectral tilt for the device and a formant sharpening profile.

12. An apparatus for adjusting parameters associated with an audio signal in a device, the apparatus comprising:
-
an audio output device;
an input device;
a memory storing a first interactive test profile; and
a processor coupled to the audio output device, the input device, and the memory, the processor configured to facilitate;
retrieving the first interactive test profile from the memory, the first interactive test profile including a test tone for each of a plurality of frequency bands and an audio level associated with the test tone;
outputting the test tone for the each of the plurality of frequency bands at the audio level using the audio output device;
determining based on a first input from the input device whether the test tone was detectable at the audio level; and
adjusting the audio level if the determining based on the first input from the input device determines the test tone was not detectable, wherein the outputting, the determining, and the adjusting occur during a first test period, and the processor, in the outputting, the determining, and the adjusting is further configured to form a first adjustment profile having first adjustment levels associated with the parameters based on the outputting, the determining, and the adjusting. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
