TIME HEURISTIC AUDIO CONTROL
First Claim
1. A time heuristic audio system, comprising:
- an audio processing system configured to receive ambient sound and to convert the ambient sound into a digitized ambient sound signal;
a memory storing one or more sets of processing parameters comprising instructions for processing the digitized ambient sound signal based upon time-based data; and
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to;
receive manually altered processing parameters and store the time-based data and the manually altered processing parameters together in the memory;
update the instructions to retrieve the stored manually altered processing parameters when the time-based data occurs based on whether the time-based data and the manually altered processing parameters are previously stored together in the memory more than a threshold number of times;
compare current time data to the time-based data; and
adjust the digitized ambient sound signal to create an adjusted digitized sound signal based on whether the current time data matches the time-based data and whether the instructions stored in memory have been updated, wherein the digitized ambient sound signal is adjusted according to the manually altered processing parameters or according to a selected set of processing parameters,wherein the audio processing system is configured to convert the adjusted digitized sound signal into adjusted ambient sound for output.

Abstract
A time heuristic audio control system, comprises a receiver for receiving time-based data from a personal computing device and a memory storing one or more sets processing parameters comprising instructions for processing the ambient sound based upon the time-based data. The system further includes a processor coupled to the memory and the receiver configured to adjust the ambient sound as directed by a selected set of processing parameters retrieved from the memory to create adjusted audio, the selected set of processing parameters retrieved based upon the time-based data and at least one speaker for outputting the adjusted audio.
