Loudspeaker system and control

Abstract

A system for providing an audio interface at a mobile device is provided. The mobile device includes an interface programmed detect a loudspeaker system. The mobile device presents, via a user interface, a display screen to receive user input of sweet-spot commands. The mobile devices send sweet-spot parameters to the loudspeaker system in response to the sweet-spot commands.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for providing an audio interface at a mobile device, comprising:
 a mobile device including an interface programmed to:
 detect a loudspeaker system; 
 present, via a user interface, a display screen to receive user input of sweet-spot commands; 
 send sweet-spot parameters to the loudspeaker system in response to the sweet-spot commands. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is further programmed to present, via the user interface, a sweet-spot button being moveable on the display screen to receive the sweet-spot command indicating a sweet-spot location. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is further programmed to present, via the user interface, a selectable size option to receive the sweet-spot command indicating a sweet-spot size. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is further programmed to:
 present, via the user interface, a setup screen to receive user input of loudspeaker setup input; and   present on the setup screen a distance input for receiving a separation distance between loudspeakers.   
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the mobile device is further programmed to determine a display screen scale size based on the separation distance between the loudspeakers. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the mobile device is further programmed to send loudspeaker setup input to the loudspeaker system. 
     
     
         7 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium tangibly embodying computer-executable instructions of a software program, the software program being executable by a processor of a computing device to provide operations, comprising:
 presenting, via a user interface, a display screen to receive user input of audio commands,   wherein the display screen includes at least one sweet-spot button being moveable to select a sweet-spot location.   
     
     
         8 . The medium of  claim 7 , wherein the display screen includes a pair of speaker icons indicating a pair of loudspeakers, wherein the sweet-spot button is movable relative to the pair of speaker icons. 
     
     
         9 . The medium of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 presenting a selectable size option for receiving a sweet-spot size input; and   presenting the sweet-spot button in one of a plurality of sizes based on the sweet-spot size input.   
     
     
         10 . The medium of  claim 7 , wherein the display screen includes at least two sweet-spot buttons, each sweet-spot button being moveable independently to select at least two sweet-spot locations. 
     
     
         11 . The medium of  claim 7 , wherein the display screen includes an audio player control for controlling and selecting audio media. 
     
     
         12 . The medium of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 presenting, via the user interface, a setup screen to receive user input of loudspeaker setup input, wherein the setup screen includes a distance input for receiving a separation distance between loudspeakers.   
     
     
         13 . The medium of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 presenting, via the user interface, a panorama control screen for receiving user input of a sound stage size.   
     
     
         14 . A method comprising:
 presenting a display screen including at least one sweet-spot button being moveable; and   dynamically updating the display screen with as the sweet-spot button is moved between at least a first sweet-spot location and a second sweet-spot location.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising:
 presenting a selectable size option for receiving a sweet-spot size input; and   updating the display screen to vary a size of the sweet-spot button based on the sweet-spot size input.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the display screen includes audio beam indicators extending between a pair of speaker icons and the sweet-spot button, wherein dynamically updating the display screen includes dynamically moving the audio beam indicators as the sweet-spot button is moved between the first and second sweet-spot locations. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising:
 presenting a setup screen for receiving user input of loudspeaker setup input.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising:
 determine display screen parameters based on the loudspeaker setup input received.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising:
 presenting a panorama control screen for receiving user input of a sound stage size.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the display screen includes at least two sweet-spot buttons, each sweet-spot button being moveable independently.
