Abstract

One example may include a method that includes initiating an audio recording to capture audio data, comparing the audio data received from a microphone of a mobile device to an audio data range, determining whether the audio data is above an optimal level based on a result of the comparison, and queuing the audio data in an audio data queue when the audio data is above the optimal level.

Claims (36)

1. A method comprising:

receiving audio data at a server, wherein the audio data was originally captured by a microphone of a mobile device and provided to the server;

comparing the audio data received to an audio data range;

determining a mobile device model based on hardware identification information included in the audio data received;

applying one or more of filters, adjusted gain, frequency and amplitude to the audio data received based on audio characteristics of the mobile device model;

performing audio tuning to the audio data based on known audio characteristics of the venue as determined from a device location of the mobile device;

determining the audio data is above an optimal level based on a result of the comparison;

and

queuing the audio data in an audio data queue when the audio data is above the optimal level.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the audio data range is one or more of a frequency range and an amplitude range.

3. The method of claim 1 , when the audio data is not above the optimal level filtering the audio data to remove excessive background audio data.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the excessive background audio data is identified as an audio signal above a threshold amplitude level at a particular frequency range.

5. An apparatus comprising

a processor configured to

receive audio data originally captured by a microphone of a mobile device;

compare the audio data received from a microphone of a mobile device to an audio data range;

determine a mobile device model based on hardware identification information included in the audio data received;

apply one or more of filters, adjusted gain, frequency and amplitude to the audio received based on audio characteristics of the mobile device model;

perform audio tuning to the audio data based on known audio characteristics of the venue as determined from a device location of the audio device;

determine the audio data is above an optimal level based on a result of the comparison;

and

queue the audio data in an audio data queue when the audio data is above the optimal level.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the audio data range is one or more of a frequency range and an amplitude range.

7. The apparatus of claim 5 , when the audio data is not above the optimal level filtering the audio data to remove excessive background audio data.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the excessive background audio data is identified as an audio signal above a threshold amplitude level at a particular frequency range.

9. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:

receiving audio data at a server, wherein the audio data was originally captured by a microphone of a mobile device and provided to the server;

comparing the audio data received to an audio data range;

determining the mobile device model based on hardware identification information included in the audio data received;

applying one or more of filters, adjusted gain, frequency and amplitude to the audio data based on audio characteristics of the mobile device model;

performing audio tuning to the audio received data based on known audio characteristics of the venue as determined from a device location of the audio device;

determining the audio data is above an optimal level based on a result of the comparison;

queuing the audio data in an audio data queue when the audio data is above the optimal level.

10. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the audio data range is one or more of a frequency range and an amplitude range.

11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , when the audio data is not above the optimal level filtering the audio data to remove excessive background audio data.

12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the excessive background audio data is identified as an audio signal above a threshold amplitude level at a particular frequency range.
