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, wherein the time-based data at least indicates an event or activity; 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;
in the event a user of the time heuristic audio system manually alters the processing parameters to be a same manually altered processing parameters more than a threshold numbers of times, update the memory to use the same manually altered processing parameters when the event or activity occurs;
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 the same manually altered processing parameters and when the current time data matches the time-based data,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.

15. A method for time heuristic audio control, comprising:
-
storing in a memory one or more sets processing parameters comprising instructions for processing ambient sound based upon received time-based data, wherein the time-based data at least indicates an event or activity; receiving the ambient sound and converting the ambient sound into a digitized ambient sound signal; receiving manually altered processing parameters and storing the time-based data and the manually altered processing parameters together in the memory; in the event a user of the time heuristic audio system manually alters the processing parameters to be a same manually altered processing parameters more than a threshold numbers of times, updating the memory to use the same manually altered processing parameters when the event or activity occurs; comparing current time data to the time-based data; adjusting, by a processor, the digitized ambient sound signal to create an adjusted digitized sound signal based on the same manually altered processing parameters and when the current time data matches the time-based data and whether the memory has been updated; converting the adjusted digitized sound signal into adjusted ambient sound; and outputting the adjusted ambient sound using at least one speaker. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
