SYSTEM AND METHOD TO EVALUATE AN AUDIO CONFIGURATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for audibly evaluating an audio configuration, the system comprising:
- a media device that receives audio from an application and transmits the audio; and
a media system communicatively coupled to the media device that receives the audio, and plays the audio out of a speaker to produce external audio,wherein the media device captures the external audio from a microphone to produce captured audio, performs pattern matching between the transmitted audio signal and the captured audio signal in real-time, and determines whether the transmitted audio signal is being rendered by the media systemwhere the transmitted audio between the media device and media system is either digital or analog audio.

Abstract
A system (100) and method (300) for evaluating an audio configuration is provided. The system can include a media device (110) that receives audio (121) from an application (115) and transmits the audio, and a media system (150) that receives the audio, and plays the audio out of a speaker (170) to produce external audio (156). The media device can capture the external audio from a microphone (145) to produce captured audio (146), perform pattern matching (125) on the audio signal and the captured audio signal in real-time, and present a notification (200) identifying whether audio sourced by the media device is rendered by the media system.

11. A media device for evaluating an audio configuration of a media system communicatively coupled to the media device, the media device comprising:
-
a processor for receiving audio from an application; a communications module for transmitting the audio to the media system; a microphone for capturing external audio played out by the media system; and a pattern matching unit to perform pattern matching on the captured audio and the audio sourced by the media device to determine if the captured audio corresponds to the audio sourced to the media system. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method within a media device for evaluating an audio configuration of a media system communicatively coupled to the media device, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving audio from an application; transmitting the audio to the media system; capturing external audio produced from the media system; performing pattern matching on the audio signal and the captured audio signal; and determining if the external audio rendered by the media system corresponds to the audio sourced by the media device based on the pattern matching. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
