AUDIO ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of communicating audio enhancement settings to an audio device, the method comprising:
- by a first device comprising one or more processors;
outputting an adjustment user interface for presentation to a user, the adjustment user interface configured to provide functionality for a user to adjust audio enhancement parameters of one or more audio enhancements installed in a second device;
receiving, through the adjustment user interface, a selection from the user of an adjusted value of a selected one of the audio enhancement parameters;
encoding the adjusted value of the selected audio enhancement parameter in an audio signal; and
communicating the audio signal to the second device, thereby enabling the second device to set the selected audio enhancement parameter to the adjusted value.

Abstract
An audio adjustment system is provided that can output a user interface customized by the provider of the audio system instead of the electronic device manufacturer. Such an arrangement can save both field engineers and manufacturers a significant amount of time. Advantageously, in certain embodiments, such an audio adjustment system can be provided without knowledge of the electronic device'"'"'s firmware. Instead, the audio adjustment system can communicate with the electronic device through an existing audio interface in the electronic device to enable a user to control audio enhancement parameters in the electronic device. For instance, the audio adjustment system can control the electronic device via an audio input jack on the electronic device.

15. Non-transitory physical electronic storage comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement a system for communicating audio enhancement settings to an audio device, the system comprising:
-
an adjustment module in a first device comprising one or more processors, the adjustment module configured to specify an adjustment for an audio enhancement installed in a second device in communication with the first device; and a communications module in the first device, the communications module configured to encode the adjustment in an audio signal and communicate the audio signal to the second device, thereby enabling the second device to implement the adjustment; wherein said communicating the audio signal to the second device comprises communicating the audio signal through an audio output port of the first device to an audio input port of the second device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
