Patent ID: 8326360

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving, at a host device, an identifier from each of a plurality of acoustic devices communicating with the host device; retrieving a digital signal processor (‘DSP’) acoustic frequency response and a code-decode (‘CODEC’) acoustic gain parameter for each of the plurality of acoustic devices from acoustic device characteristics stored on the host device if the host device recognizes the identifiers of each of the plurality of acoustic devices, based on the identifiers; for each one of the plurality of acoustic devices, if the acoustic device characteristics of the one acoustic device are not stored on the host device, retrieving the DSP acoustic frequency response and CODEC acoustic gain parameter of the one acoustic device from a remote database based on the identifier of the one acoustic device; dividing communications into timeslots for each of the plurality of acoustic devices; and configuring an acoustic baseband circuit of the host device at each timeslot with the DSP acoustic frequency response and CODEC acoustic gain parameter of the acoustic device from the plurality of acoustic devices communicating on a current timeslot.
