METHOD, USER TERMINAL, AND AUDIO SYSTEM, FOR SPEAKER LOCATION DETECTION AND LEVEL CONTROL USING MAGNETIC FIELD
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a user terminal apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving reference magnetic field information generated by at least one speaker;
detecting a magnetic field generated by the at least one speaker, the magnetic field being generated based on the reference magnetic field information of the at least one speaker; and
acquiring location information of each of the at least one speaker using information of the detected magnetic field and the reference magnetic field information.

Abstract
Provided is a control method of a user terminal apparatus and device, for speaker location detection and level control using a magnetic field. The method includes receiving reference magnetic field information generated by at least one speaker, in response to a magnetic field being generated based on the reference magnetic field information by the at least one speaker, detecting the magnetic field generated by the at least one speaker, acquiring location information of the at least one speaker using the detected magnetic field information and the reference magnetic field information, and transmitting the location information of each of the at least one speaker to a source apparatus.
