Patent ID: 11906642
Assignee: SILICON LABORATORIES INC.
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. A method, comprising:
receiving a radio frequency (RF) signal at a first device, the RF signal conveying audio data and being transmitted from a second device;
measuring one or more RF signal reception or transmission characteristics of the received RF signal at the first device;
producing modified audio data at the first device by modifying information of the conveyed audio data based on the measured RF signal reception or transmission characteristics; and
reproducing analog audio acoustic sound waves from the modified audio data;
where the audio data comprises at least first channel audio data and second channel audio data; and where the method further comprises:
producing the modified audio data at the first device by individually varying volume level and/or pitch level information of the first channel audio data relative to volume level and/or pitch level information of the second channel audio data based on the measured RF signal reception or transmission characteristics of the RF signal received from the second device; and
simultaneously reproducing analog audio acoustic sound waves from the first channel audio data of the modified audio data at a first speaker of the first device and reproducing analog audio acoustic sound waves from the second channel audio data of the modified audio data at a second speaker of the first device; and

where the first device comprises a portable wireless audio data receiver system that comprises a first speaker worn adjacent a left ear of a human user and a second speaker worn adjacent a right ear of the same human user; and where the method further comprises:
determining at least one of position, orientation and/or direction of the first device relative to the second device based on the measured one or more RF signal reception or transmission characteristics of the received RF signal at the first device,
producing the modified audio data at the first device by individually varying volume level and/or pitch level information of the first channel audio data relative to volume level and/or pitch level information of the second channel audio data based on the determined position, orientation and/or direction of the first device relative to the second device to produce modified audio data having first and second audio channels that have different volume level and/or pitch level information relative to each other, and
simultaneously reproducing analog audio acoustic sound waves from the first channel audio data of the modified audio data at the first speaker of the portable wireless audio data receiver system and reproducing analog audio acoustic sound waves from the second channel audio data of the modified audio data at the second speaker of the portable wireless audio data receiver system.
