Automatic Performance Optimization for Perceptual Devices
First Claim
1. A method for modifying a controllable stimulus generated by a perceptual device in communication with a human user, the method comprising:
- generating an input signal to the perceptual device, the perceptual device sending a stimulus to the human user, the stimulus defined at least in part by a parameter, the parameter comprising a value;
receiving an output signal from the human user, the output signal based at least in part on a perception of the stimulus by the human user;
determining a difference between the input signal and the output signal;
constructing a perceptual model based at least in part on the difference; and
suggesting a value for the parameter based at least in part on the perceptual model.

Abstract
Systems and methods may be used to modify a controllable stimulus generated by a digital audio device in communication with a human user. An input signal is provided to the digital audio device. In turn, the digital audio device sends a stimulus based on that input signal to the human user, who takes an action, usually in the form of an output signal, to characterize the stimulus that the user receives, based on the user'"'"'s perception. An algorithm, lookup table, or other procedure then determines a difference between the input signal and the output signal, and a perceptual model is constructed based at least in part on the difference. Thereafter, a new value for the parameter of the digital audio device is suggested based at least in part on the perceptual model. This process continues iteratively until the user'"'"'s optimal device parameters are determined.
