Publication number: 20210311688Abstract: A computer-implemented method for manipulating simulated speaker arrangements is provided, including: (1) receiving a portion selection event corresponding to a portion of a simulated speaker arrangement displayed in a speaker arrangement pane of a GUI; (2) displaying a pop-up window, wherein the pop-up window includes an initial value of a property corresponding to the portion; (3) receiving a property adjustment event corresponding to the property; (4) displaying an updated value of the property based on the property adjustment event; (5) adjusting the simulated speaker arrangement based on the property adjustment event; (6) receiving a portion deselection event corresponding to an area of the GUI outside of the pop-up window; and (7) closing the pop-up window in response to the portion deselection event. The selection and/or deselection events may include a mouse-click, a mouse-over-event, or key-strokes. The portion may include an individual speaker, a rigging point, and/or multiple speakers.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2020Publication date: October 7, 2021Applicant: Bose CorporationInventors: Dion Isselhardt, Lisa Lyman, Adam Holladay, Kevin Ernst

Patent number: 10778509Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for mapping a networked system. In one example, a control device in a system includes a communication interface coupled to a plurality of devices via a network, a processor, and a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor to transmit a command via the network to the plurality of devices connected to the network, and command the devices to send, via an analog communication interface, an analog message from each device output that is connected to an associated input of another device in the system including information about the output device and output port. The instructions are further executable to determine and map each connected device in the system to an associated device input of another device based on the received analog message for that device output, and, for each mapped device, transmit device data to the device including information about analog connections of the device.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATEDInventors: Adam Holladay, Paul Chavez

Patent number: 9826325Abstract: A system to automate networked routing of audio in a live sound system includes a computing device having a processor and memory and in which the system is configurable for a venue. The memory includes instructions executable by the processor to route audio signals over a network based on user selection of source audio signals from a transmitting audio device and on logical grouping of loudspeakers by the user from within a graphical user interface. The processor, for each receiving audio device channel of the group of loudspeakers (such as bandpass inputs), identifies power amplifiers and/or digital signal processors (DSPs) (which may be integrated within a powered loudspeaker) through which to route the selected source audio signals; and then routes the selected source audio signals from the selected transmitting audio device over the network to the receiving audio device channels through channels of the identified power amplifiers and/or DSPs.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2011Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATEDInventors: Adam Holladay, Richard A.

Publication number: 20170248928Abstract: A computing system automates the configuration and management of a live sound system that includes a processor and memory for building in a GUI of a display a representation of the live sound system for a venue. The system loads a venue template that includes loudspeaker arrays and related properties including a setup configuration of the loudspeaker arrays and tuning data for constituent loudspeakers that are operable to provide an audio coverage pattern for the venue. The system overlays on top of the representation of the loudspeaker arrays a wiring circuit representation indicating interconnections of the loudspeakers that define bandpass inputs for each array. The system generates a plurality of amplifiers in the representation to drive the arrays, and associates amplifier channels of the amplifiers with the bandpass inputs. The amplifier channels include representations of output channels of DSPs coupled with respective amplifier channels.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2017Publication date: August 31, 2017Inventors: Adam HOLLADAY, Richard A. KREIFELDT, Brian PICKOWITZ, Paul BAUMAN

Patent number: 9191721Abstract: A system for configuring an audio/video (AV) system includes a computing device having a processor to enable a user, with a user interface of the computing device, to configure the AV system. The processor may enable the user to draw output zones to create a representation of a geographical layout of a venue in which the AV system is located. The processor may enable the user to place transmitting and receiving AV devices within the output zones that substantially represent physical locations thereof within the venue. The processor may enable the user to logically associate receiving AV device channels of one or more receiving AV devices within an output zone. The processor may also enable the user to select which of a number of source AV signals from transmitting AV devices the user wants to route to the associated output zone.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2010Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Harman International Industries, IncorporatedInventors: Adam Holladay, Richard A.

Patent number: 8938675Abstract: A system for automating generation of an audio/video (AV) control interface includes a computing device having a processor to enable a user, with a user interface of the computing device, to configure the AV system. The processor may enable the user to draw output zones to create a representation of a geographical layout of a venue in which the AV system is located. The processor may enable the user to place transmitting and receiving AV devices within the output zones that substantially represent physical locations thereof within the venue. The processor may enable the user to logically associate receiving AV device channels of receiving AV devices within an output zone. The processor assigns parameters of the associated AV devices to a control interface for user control thereof. To do so, the processor identifies controllable parameters associated with the AV devices associated with the output zone.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2010Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: Harman International Industries, IncorporatedInventors: Adam Holladay, Richard A.
