Abstract:
The mobile cluster-based audio adjusting method and apparatus provides for a highly configurable sound management apparatus and process that combines standard computing devices such as laptops, tablets, and mobile phones to measure various aspects of sound waves across multiple points, allowing a single user to visualize and adjust sound output accordingly.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of maintaining consistent sound across, comprising the steps of:\n a) providing at least one cluster of at least one computing device, said at least one computing device comprising:\n a sound sensing mechanism, capable of monitoring the amplitude and frequency of ambient noise, \n a wireless transceiver, capable of wirelessly transmitting and receiving data from a audio control source, \n said data comprising at least one characteristic of at least one sound fingerprint; \n at least one output device, comprising:\n a power source for operating the device, \n a speaker for outputting sound, \n a communication mechanism, for receiving electronic information from said audio control source; \n said audio control source, in electronic communication said at least one cluster and said at least one output device, said audio control source comprising:\n a memory, containing computer-executable instructions for connecting to said at least one cluster, processing said at least one characteristic of at least sound fingerprint, visualizing said at least one sound fingerprint, varying the output of said at least one output device, providing an interface, \n a processor, for executing said computer-executable instruction, \n a interfacing mechanism, comprising:\n a network adapter, capable of transmitting and receiving electronic information through both wired and wireless communication; \n \n a display, for showing said interface and said at least one visualized sound fingerprint, \n at least one input mechanism, for manipulating said interface, and varying said output of said at least one output device; \n b) sensing, measuring, and analyzing, by said at least one computing device, surrounding audio output signals; c) determining, by said at least one computing device, whether a qualifying signal has been sensed; d) identifying and categorizing said measurements, by said at least one computing device; e) determining, by said at least one computing device, whether said measurements breach a predetermined threshold; f) communicating, to other clusters, if present, and said audio control source, said breach; g) determining, by said other clusters, if present, and said audio control source if a second breach has occurred; h) adjusting said at least one output device, by said audio control source, based on said communicated measurements.
