  • Publication number: 20250149029
    Abstract: An audio, video and control (“AVC”) operating system is implemented on an AVC processing core coupled to one or more peripheral devices. Using a large learning model (“LLM”) module, the AVC system detects audio signals obtained from a user and infers oral commands from the audio signals. Thereafter, one or more actions corresponding to the oral commands are performed on the peripheral devices and/or the AVC processing core. In another embodiment, the AVC system obtains contextual awareness data of a room environment in which the AVC operating system functions. Thereafter, based upon the contextual awareness data, the system performs actions on the peripheral devices or AVC processing core.

  • Publication number: 20250123913
    Abstract: A method of monitoring behavior of an AVC system that may include communicatively connecting one or more devices to a server of a cloud platform, creating one or more device digital twins, synchronizing the device digital twins to the devices, creating one or more space digital twins of the physical spaces that the devices are located in, synchronizing the space digital twins to a corresponding physical space, analyzing data associated with the one or more devices to create an output indicative of at least one of the health and reliability of the one or more devices, usage and operational status of the physical space or presenting the output on a computing device.

  • Publication number: 20250123865
    Abstract: A method of configuring an audio, video, and control (AVC) system may include receiving an AVC system design, wherein the AVC system design includes a device configuration,, creating a digital twin of the physical device based on the device configuration, creating a virtual device of the physical device based on information stored in the digital twin, emulating signal processing and operation of the corresponding physical device to predict behavior and operation of the corresponding physical device, and transferring the device configuration to the physical device.

  • Publication number: 20250123833
    Abstract: A method of utilizing digital twins in a cloud-based audio, video, and control (AVC) system may include defining a device configuration of a physical device of the AVC system, creating a digital twin of the physical device based on the device configuration, synchronizing the digital twin to the physical device such that the digital twin receives, and stores device information associated with the physical device, analyzing the device information stored by the digital twin to identify if the physical device is performing satisfactorily, and presenting an output from the web application indicative of the performance of the physical device.

  • Publication number: 20230412134
    Abstract: An amplifier having one or more channels where each channel includes a two half bridges (a master and slave sub-channel). The sub-channels can be connected either in parallel or in a full-bridge configuration via internal switches that route signals to a pair of speaker jacks. One switch in the amplifier has a first position that selectively connects the outputs of the master and slave sub-channel to the same input of the speaker load so that the two sub-channels will drive the speaker load in parallel and a second position where the output of the slave sub-channel is connected to another input of the speaker load so that the master sub-channel and the slave sub-channel will drive the speaker load in a Full-bridge configuration.

  • Patent number: 10749488
    Abstract: A multi-channel switchmode audio amplifier is configured by a programmed processor such that each channel drives separate loads, is connected in parallel or is configured in a bridge-tied mode as well as combinations thereof. In one embodiment, amplifier channels that are connected in parallel have power amplifiers that are driven with signals from a single modulator. A feedback circuit and error amplifier from one channel controls the modulated signal that is applied to each parallely connected amplifier channel. Current feedback circuits for parallely connected amplifier channels are eliminated by tightly controlling the timing of switching in the power amplifier output stages.
