Publication number: 20240146274Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods, devices, and systems for automatic audio equalization. In one aspect, a method is performed at an electronic device that includes speakers, microphones, processors and memory. The electronic device outputs audio user content from the speakers and automatically equalizes subsequent audio output of the device without user input. The automatic equalization includes: (1) obtaining audio content signals, including receiving outputted audio content at each microphone; (2) determining from the audio content signals phase differences between microphones; (3) obtaining a feature vector based on the phase differences; (4) obtaining a frequency correction from a correction database based on the obtained feature vector; and (5) applying the obtained frequency correction to the subsequent audio output.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Benjamin Louis Shaya, Rasmus Larsen, Richard F. Lyon, Michael Smedegaard

Patent number: 10897680Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods, devices, and systems for automatic audio equalization. In one aspect, a method is performed at an audio device having one or more processors, memory, and a plurality of device interface elements, including one or more speakers and a plurality of microphones. The method includes: (1) detecting a change in orientation of the audio device from a first orientation to a second orientation; and (2) in response to detecting the change in orientation, configuring operation of two or more of the plurality of device interface elements.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2018Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Justin Wodrich, Rolando Esparza Palacios, Nicholas Matarese, Michael B.

Patent number: 10734963Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods, devices, and systems for automatic audio equalization. In one aspect, a method is performed at a computing system that includes speaker(s), microphones, processors and memory. The computing system outputs audio user content and automatically equalizes the audio output of the computing system. The equalizing includes: (1) receiving the outputted audio content at each microphone of the plurality of microphones; (2) based on the received audio content, determining an acoustic transfer function for the room; (3) based on the determined acoustic transfer function, obtaining a frequency response for the room; and (4) adjusting one or more properties of the speakers based on the determined frequency response.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Benjamin Louis Shaya, Rasmus Munk Larsen, Richard F Lyon, Michael Smedegaard
