  • Publication number: 20200322818
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining latency information in a wireless audio system, the wireless audio system comprising at least one wireless receiver, a wireless transmitter and a sound recorder, the method comprising the following steps: transmitting at least one test signal from the wireless transmitter to the wireless receiver, the test signal defining a time reference; playing the test signal at the wireless receiver; acquiring an audio record by the sound recorder during the test signal is played by the wireless receiver; determining, by the sound recorder, a latency information related to the wireless receiver at least based on the time reference and based on the audio record, the wireless transmitter and the sound recorder being synchronized; transmitting the determined latency information to the wireless transmitter.

  • Patent number: 10244018
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device (DEV) for controlling Bluetooth multimedia devices, the controlling device including a Bluetooth chip (BC) arranged to implement a modified A2DP profile (A2DP?) so as to create a point-to-multipoint link (LNK) from the Bluetooth chip to several Bluetooth multimedia devices (SPK1, SPK2, SPKN), the Bluetooth chip of the controlling device being arranged to stream several interconnected multimedia streams, each to a respective Bluetooth multimedia device from among the several Bluetooth multimedia devices, based on a non-blocking Bluetooth usage. The description also refers to a method for controlling Bluetooth multimedia devices, to a computer program arranged to implement such a method as well as to a storage medium storing such a computer program.
