Patent number: 11955107Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for automatically adjusting, by an audio device, the SPL of its audio output. As described herein, the SPL is adjusted based on detected ambient noise. According to aspects, audio device iteratively adjusts the SPL based on the ambient noise. According to aspects, the SPL is adjusted to be greater than the ambient noise by a threshold SPL amount. According to aspects, the audio device outputs sound in substantially a first direction and the microphone detects sound substantially outside of the first direction. The adjusted sounds are output by the audio device.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: BOSE CORPORATIONInventors: Mehul Trivedi, Vincent Lee, Cory Roberts, James P.
