  • Patent number: 9693162
    Abstract: A system, an audio output device, and a method for automatically adjusting a firing direction of an upward firing speaker are disclosed. The system includes the audio output device and an audio receiver. The audio output device includes the upward firing speaker. During testing, the device controls the speaker to output a test audio signal at each of multiple testing angles of elevation. The audio receiver within a receiving area receives the test audio signal and generates a received audio waveform for creating reception information. The audio output device selects one testing angle as a preset angle of elevation according to the reception information. At playing, the audio output device is controlled by a mode selection signal and chooses a correction value from a mode lookup table to adjust the preset angle. The speaker is controlled to output an audio signal at the adjusted preset angle.
