Abstract:
Systems and methods provide a solution to a common nuisance of loud background noise encountered when watching television, allowing the issue to be solved with little or no user interaction. Systems and methods automatically modulate device volume based on background noise level. The systems and methods record a background level of noise, and if that background level of noise increases, the systems and methods automatically increase the content volume which had been set by the user. Exceptions are made for brief sounds or for viewer conversations.

Claim (Index 15):
A system with improved delivery of audio content during a content playback experience, comprising:\n a. a network interface for receiving digital content; b. a display for displaying received digital content; c. a microphone for detecting an initial BBNL; d. a means for determining a desired CAL; e. a volume control module configured to control a playback volume of the digital content; f. a closed captioning module configured to, upon receipt of a closed captioning command, display closed captioning of the received digital content; and g. a sound adjustment module configured to receive an input from the microphone, and if the input from the microphone detects a sustained increase in the BBNL, then the sound adjustment module is configured to command the volume control module to automatically cause an increase in the CAL to compensate for the detected sustained increase in the BBNL, or to command the closed captioning module to display closed captioning of the received digital content, or both.
