Patent number: 10354657Abstract: A method for identifying a user among a plurality of users of a multimedia system comprising extracting an i-vector for the speech utterance using total variability modeling, comparing the extracted i-vector with a collection of i-vector sets in order to identify a target set most similar to the extracted i-vector, and granting access to the multimedia system in accordance with an access profile associated with the identified target set. Further, source variation is minimized by, for each speech utterance acquired using a specific data source, re-centering first-order statistics of the speech utterance around the mean of an informative prior associated with the source, and using the co-variance of the informative prior associated with the source when extracting the i-vector for the speech utterance.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2016Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: BANG & OLUFSEN A/SInventors: Sven Ewan Shepstone, Søren Borup Jensen

Patent number: 9532153Abstract: A method and system for providing information to a user positioned in a room with two independent listening areas where, in one area, an audio signal is output compensating for the sound from the other area, and where a position between the two areas is indicated to a user. When the user moves about, the position and size of one listening area may change, and the user may be made aware of any conflict with the other listening area. The areas may be defined by boundaries where a compensation quality is at a threshold quality.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2013Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: BANG & OLUFSEN A/SInventors: Martin Olsen, Martin Bo Møller, Søren Borup Jensen

Patent number: 9219799Abstract: A system and a method of operating the system comprising a media provider comprising a first user interface and a controller comprising a second user interface, the method comprising the user browsing the network using the controller and viewing media information on the controller, such as an iPad. The user may control the controller to stream the media information to a media provider, which may be a TV and so that the media information is then provided on both the TV and iPad in a synchronized manner. Subsequent to that, the TV may receive the media information directly from the network so that the controller may be used for other purposes.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2012Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: BANG & OLUFSEN A/SInventors: Søren Borup Jensen, Arne Kurt Andersen

Publication number: 20120331177Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of synchronizing data to be shared among two or more devices, the data sharing may be performed via a networked server utility. The method applied enhances the usability of media players and providing media information to one or more user(s). The media player may be a portable device, and the server utility is considered to be a “virtual cloud” device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2012Publication date: December 27, 2012Applicant: Bang & Olufsen A/SInventor: Søren Borup Jensen

Publication number: 20100198926Abstract: A system and a method where a client, which usually is portable, derives information relating to an event experienced by a user and communicates this event information to one or more providers which return with information relating to corresponding or similar events. In one situation, the client stores the event information if communication with the providers is not possible, such as if the client is out of reach of a wireless network. In another situation, the providers may store the event information and act as search agents performing searches also in the future on the basis of the event information.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2010Publication date: August 5, 2010Inventors: John Hammer Madsen, Søren Borup Jensen
