Method and system for automated volume adjustments for a marketing system
First Claim
1. A method for adjusting volume for a selling system, comprising the steps of:
- determining, using a processor in a general-purpose computer, a parameter associated with the selling system;
generating, using the processor, a volume control level based on the parameter; and
,controlling, using the processor and an interface element for the computer, an audio output portion of a sales offer from an audio component of the selling system such that the audio output portion matches the volume control level, wherein the general-purpose computer is arranged to perform the steps of determining, generating, and controlling.

Abstract
A method for adjusting volume for a marketing system, including the steps of: determining, using a processor in a general-purpose computer, a parameter associated with the marketing system; generating, using the processor, a volume control level based on the parameter; and controlling, using the processor and an interface element for the computer, an audio output portion of a sales offer from an audio component of the marketing system such that the audio output portion matches the volume control level. The general-purpose computer is arranged to perform the steps of determining, generating, and controlling. In a preferred embodiment, the parameter is an ambient noise level proximate the marketing system and determining a parameter includes measuring the ambient noise level proximate the marketing system. In a first embodiment, the parameter is a temporal parameter. A system for adjusting volume for a selling system.
