Methods and apparatus for playback using pre-processed profile information and personalization
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for playback using pre-processed profile information and personalization. Example apparatus disclosed herein include a synchronizer to, in response to receiving a media signal to be played on a playback device, access an equalization (EQ) profile corresponding to the media signal; an EQ personalization manager to generate a personalized EQ setting; and an EQ adjustment implementor to modify playback of the media signal on the playback device based on a blended equalization generated based on the EQ profile and the personalized EQ setting.
1. An apparatus comprising:
a synchronizer to, in response to receiving a media signal to be played on a playback device, access a first equalization (EQ) profile corresponding to the media signal;
an EQ personalization manager to generate a personalized EQ setting based on at least a second EQ profile corresponding to an application sourcing the media signal to the playback device; and
an EQ adjustment implementor to (i) generate a blended equalization by applying a first weight to the first EQ profile and a second weight to the personalized EQ setting, and (ii) modify playback of the media signal on the playback device based on the blended equalization.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further including a historical EQ manager to:
generate the personalized EQ setting based on past personalization settings; and
in response to historical equalization being enabled, adjust the personalized EQ setting based on EQ settings associated with a previous period of time.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , further including a user input analyzer to:
in response to availability of data indicative of preferences of a user, determine EQ parameters based on the data indicative of preferences of the user, the EQ parameters corresponding to audio playback settings; and
adjust the personalized EQ setting based on the EQ parameters determined based on the data indicative of preferences of the user.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , further including a device parameter analyzer to:
in response to availability of location data of the playback device, adjust the personalized EQ setting based on the location data of the playback device;
in response to availability of identification of a user, adjust the adjusted personalized EQ setting based on a user profile; and
adjust the adjusted personalized EQ setting based on the source of the media signal.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the personalized EQ setting is additionally based on at least one of EQ settings associated with a previous period of time, data indicative of preferences of a user, location data of the playback device, a user profile.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the EQ profile includes playback attributes corresponding to at least one of (1) information identifying a category associated with a song, (2) information identifying a category associated with a video segment, (3) information identifying a mood associated with the song or the video segment, or (4) information identifying signal strength parameters for different frequencies with a portion of the media signal.
7. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause one or more processors to at least:
in response to receiving a media signal to be played on a playback device, access a first equalization (EQ) profile corresponding to the media signal;
generate a personalized EQ setting based on at least a second EQ profile corresponding to an application sourcing the media signal to the playback device;
generate a blended equalization by applying a first weight to the first EQ profile and a second weight to the personalized EQ setting; and
modify playback of the media signal on the playback device based on the blended equalization.
8. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
generate the personalized EQ setting based on past personalization settings; and
in response to historical equalization being enabled, adjust the personalized EQ setting based on EQ settings associated with a previous period of time.
9. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
in response to availability of data indicative of preferences of a user, determine EQ parameters based on the data indicative of preferences of the user, the EQ parameters corresponding to audio playback settings; and
adjust the personalized EQ setting based on the EQ parameters determined based on the data indicative of preferences of the user.
10. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
in response to availability of location data of the playback device, adjust the personalized EQ setting based on the location data of the playback device;
in response to availability of identification of a user, adjust the adjusted personalized EQ setting based on a user profile; and
adjust the adjusted personalized EQ setting based on the source of the media signal.
11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the personalized EQ setting is based on at least one of EQ settings associated with a previous period of time, data indicative of preferences of a user, location data of the playback device, or a user profile.
12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the first EQ profile includes playback attributes corresponding to at least one of (1) information identifying a category associated with a song, (2) information identifying a category associated with a video segment, (3) information identifying a mood associated with the song or the video segment, or (4) information identifying signal strength parameters for different frequencies with a portion of the media signal.
13. A method comprising:
in response to receiving a media signal to be played on a playback device, accessing a first equalization (EQ) profile corresponding to the media signal;
generating a personalized EQ setting based on at least a second EQ profile corresponding to an application sourcing the media signal to the playback device;
generating a blended equalization by applying a first weight to the first EQ profile and a second weight to the personalized EQ setting; and
modifying playback of the media signal on the playback device based on the blended equalization.
14. The method of claim 13 , further including:
generating the personalized EQ setting based on past personalization settings; and
in response to historical equalization being enabled, adjusting the personalized EQ setting based on EQ settings associated with a previous period of time.
15. The method of claim 13 , further including:
in response to availability of data indicative of preferences of a user, determining EQ parameters based on the data indicative of preferences of the user, the EQ parameters corresponding to audio playback settings; and
adjusting the personalized EQ setting based on the EQ parameters determined based on the data indicative of preferences of the user.
16. The method of claim 13 , further including:
in response to availability of location data of the playback device, adjusting the personalized EQ setting based on the location data of the playback device;
in response to availability of identification of a user, adjusting the adjusted personalized EQ setting based on a user profile; and
adjusting the adjusted personalized EQ setting based on the source of the media signal.
17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the personalized EQ setting is based on at least one of EQ settings associated with a previous period of time, data indicative of preferences of a user, location data of the playback device, or a user profile.
