  • Patent number: 10349200
    Abstract: A system comprises multiple speakers and a control unit. The speakers and the control unit are arranged to locate one another and to determine distances and preferably locations relative to one another, for example based on signal power measurements. Also a user position may be determined via a device close to the user, like a telephone or a watch. This information is used for processing audio data for rendering for optimal user experience. Based on locations of speakers relative to the user, dedicated functionality may be assigned to a speaker. The audio data to be reproduced may be processed and at least parts thereof may be assigned to a speaker, depending on the assigned functionality. Speaker modules may be added and assigned a functionality on the go. Capability for processing of audio and position data may be performed by any of a user device, speaker module or dedicated control module.
