System and method of adjusting audiovisual content to improve hearing
First Claim
1. A method of adjusting audiovisual content comprising:
- receiving, at a server, a first signal comprising a first content from a media source;
generating, at a server, a second content comprising multiple audio channels based on the first content;
providing, at a plurality of clients, a graphical user interface having a plurality of icons representing a user and the multiple audio channels, wherein the second content is altered by moving any of the icons on the graphical user interface;
generating, at the plurality of clients, a third signal based on the second content;
providing, at the plurality of clients, the third signal to an audio device;
increasing, at the plurality of clients, a volume of a first audio channel of the second content when a movement of an icon representing the first audio channel decreases a distance between the first audio channel icon and the user icon;
maintaining or decreasing, at the plurality of clients, a volume of the audio channels of the second content other than the first audio channel when a movement of the first audio channel icon decreases the distance between the first audio channel icon and the user icon; and
allowing, at the plurality of clients, the user to maintain an unbalanced sound condition.

Abstract
A system for adjusting audiovisual content having a server including a receiver for receiving a first content from a media source, a first circuitry configured to generate a second content based on the first content, the second content having multiple audio channels, a first transceiver for sending the second content to one or more clients, each client including a second transceiver for receiving the second content, and a second circuitry configured to generate a third content based on the second content and provide the third content to an audio device, wherein the second circuitry is configured to provide a graphical user interface to a user, the graphical user interface having a plurality of icons representing the user and the multiple audio channels, wherein movement of any of the plurality of icons will alter the second content.

15. A system for adjusting audiovisual content comprising:
-
a server comprising; a receiver for receiving a first content from a media source; a first circuitry configured to generate a second content based on the first content, the second content comprising multiple audio channels; and a first transceiver for sending the second content; a plurality of clients, each client comprising; a second transceiver for receiving the second content; an audio device; and a second circuitry configured to generate a third content based on the second content and provide the third content to the audio device, wherein the second circuitry is configured to provide a graphical user interface to a user, the graphical user interface having a plurality of icons representing the user and the multiple audio channels, wherein, when a movement of an icon representing a first audio channel of the second content decreases a distance between the first audio channel icon and the user icon, the second circuitry is configured to; increase a volume of the first audio channel; and maintain or decrease a volume of the audio channels of the second content other than the first audio channel, and wherein the second circuitry is configured to allow the user to maintain an unbalanced sound condition. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)

39. A system for adjusting audiovisual content comprising:
-
a server configured to; receive a first content from a media source; and generate a second content comprising multiple audio channels based on the first content; and a plurality of clients, where each client is configured to; receive the second content from the server; provide a graphical user interface to a user, the graphical user interface having a plurality of icons representing the user and the multiple audio channels; generate a third content based on the second content; provide the third content to an audio device; increase a volume of a first audio channel group comprising at least one of the multiple audio channels when a movement of the user icon decreases a distance between a first icon group, comprising the audio icons representing the audio channels of the first audio channel group, and the user icon; maintain or decrease a volume of the audio channels of the second content other than the audio channels of the first audio channel group when the movement of the user icon decreases the distance between the first icon group and the user icon; and allow the user to maintain an unbalanced sound condition. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42)

43. A method of adjusting audiovisual content comprising:
-
receiving, at a server, a first signal comprising a first content from a media source; generating, at a server, a second content comprising multiple audio channels based on the first content; providing, at a plurality of clients, an input configured to allow a user to alter the multiple audio channels; generating, at the plurality of clients, a third signal based on the second content; providing, at the plurality of clients, the third signal to an audio device; increasing, at the plurality of clients, a volume of a first audio channel group comprising at least one of the multiple audio channels when a movement of the user icon decreases a distance between a first icon group, comprising the audio icons representing the audio channels of the first audio channel group, and the user icon; maintaining or decreasing a volume of the audio channels of the second content other than the audio channels of the first audio channel group when the movement of the user icon decreases the distance between the first icon group and the user icon; and allowing the user to maintain an unbalanced sound condition. - View Dependent Claims (44)
