Cognitive loudspeaker system
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- transmitting configuration information from a first sound production station to a first control station, wherein the configuration information defines operating characteristics of the first sound production station;
compiling a first playback executable in the first control station based on the configuration information and a playback source format of the first control station;
wirelessly transmitting a the first playback executable from a the first control station to a the first sound production station;
storing the first playback executable in the first sound production station;
wirelessly transmitting digital audio information from the first control station to the first sound production station; and
decoding the digital audio information with a playback processor within the first sound production station, wherein the first playback executable controls the playback processor to decode the digital audio information in accordance with the playback source format.

Abstract
A cognitive loudspeaker system including a control station that communicates wirelessly and bi-directionally with a plurality of sound production stations. The control station and the sound production stations are initially synchronized to a conductor clock. Configuration information is then transmitted from the sound production stations to the control station. In response, the control station generates playback executables, which are transmitted to the sound production stations. The control station also transmits digital audio information to the sound production stations. Within each sound production station, the previously received playback executable is used to control the decoding and processing of the received digital audio information. Each sound production station generates digital audio output samples, which are converted to analog output signals. These analog output signals are amplified and are used to drive loudspeakers.

20. A cognitive loudspeaker system comprising:
-
a control station having a transceiver that wirelessly transmits digital audio information and a plurality of playback executables, and receives configuration information, wherein each of the plurality of playback executables is compiled by the control station based on a playback source format of the digital audio information and the received configuration information; and a plurality of sound production stations, each having a transceiver that receives a corresponding one of the plurality of playback executables and the digital audio information wirelessly transmitted from the control station, and each having a playback processor controlled by the corresponding one of the plurality of playback executables to decode the digital audio information in accordance with the playback source format, wherein each of the sound production stations generates an audible output in response to the received digital audio information, and wherein each transceiver of the sound production stations wirelessly transmits configuration information defining operating characteristics of the corresponding sound production station to the control station.
