  • Patent number: 11929088
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide input and output mode control for audio processing on a user device. Audio processing may be configured by monitoring audio activity on a device having at least one microphone and a digital audio processing unit, collecting information from the monitoring of the activity, including an identification of at least one application utilizing audio processing, and determining a context for the audio processing, the context including at least one of a hardware, software, audio signal and/or environmental context. An audio signal processing configuration is determined based on the application and determined context, an associated audio signal processing mode is selected, and an optimized audio signal generated.
    Type: Grant

    Abstract: Systems and methods provide input and output mode control for audio processing on a user device. Audio processing may be configured by monitoring audio activity on a device having at least one microphone and a digital audio processing unit, collecting information from the monitoring of the activity, including an identification of at least one application utilizing audio processing, and determining a context for the audio processing, the context including at least one context resource having associated metadata. An audio configuration is determined based on the application and determined context, and an action is performed to control the audio processing mode. User controls providing addition mode control may be displayed automatically based on a current application and determined context.
