Abstract

A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for performing an audio output detection operation. The audio detection operation includes: identifying a reference audio output associated with a manufacturing environment; calibrating a threshold noise level of the manufacturing environment; monitoring the manufacturing environment for an audio output above a predefined noise threshold; comparing the audio output above the predefined noise threshold with the reference audio output; and, present information associated with the audio output above the predefined noise threshold upon detection of a match between the audio output above the predefined noise threshold and the reference audio output.

Claims (61)

1. A computer-implementable method for performing an audio output detection operation, comprising:

identifying a reference audio output associated with a manufacturing environment;

calibrating a threshold noise level of the manufacturing environment;

monitoring the manufacturing environment for an audio output above a predefined noise threshold, the audio output above the predefined noise threshold being generated by a device under test, the device under test being manufactured within the manufacturing environment;

comparing the audio output above the predefined noise threshold with the reference audio output; and,

presenting information associated with the audio output above the predefined noise threshold upon detection of a match between the audio output above the predefined noise threshold and the reference audio output, the information associated with the audio output providing an indication of whether the device under test has an ability to emit an audio output according to predetermined criteria, the presenting being via a user interface, the user interface presenting a graphical representation of the indication of whether the device under test has the ability to emit the audio output according to the predetermined criteria.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the identifying the reference audio output comprises recording a reference audio output; and,

selecting a reference audio output sample from the reference audio output.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the identifying the reference audio output comprises assigning a value to the reference audio output.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the information associated with the audio output is presented via an audio output detection system user interface.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the device under test comprises a right speaker and a left speaker; and,

the indication of whether the device under test has the ability to emit the audio output above the predefined noise threshold comprises an indication of whether the right speaker and the left speaker are each emitting the audio output above the predefined noise threshold.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the indication of whether the device under test has the ability to emit the audio output above the predefined noise threshold generated by the device under test comprises an indication of whether the right speaker and the left speaker are each emitting audio outputs across a plurality of frequency ranges.

7. A system comprising:

a processor;

a data bus coupled to the processor; and

a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:

identifying a reference audio output associated with a manufacturing environment;

calibrating a threshold noise level of the manufacturing environment;

monitoring the manufacturing environment for an audio output above a predefined noise threshold, the audio output above the predefined noise threshold being generated by a device under test, the device under test being manufactured within the manufacturing environment;

comparing the audio output above the predefined noise threshold with the reference audio output; and,

presenting information associated with the audio output above the predefined noise threshold upon detection of a match between the audio output above the predefined noise threshold and the reference audio output, the information associated with the audio output providing an indication of whether the device under test has an ability to emit an audio output according to predetermined criteria, the presenting being via a user interface, the user interface presenting a graphical representation of the indication of whether the device under test has the ability to emit the audio output according to the predetermined criteria.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein:

the identifying the reference audio output comprises recording a reference audio output; and,

selecting a reference audio output sample from the reference audio output.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein:

the identifying the reference audio output comprises assigning a value to the reference audio output.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein:

the information associated with the audio output is presented via an audio output detection system user interface.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein:

the device under test comprises a right speaker and a left speaker; and,

the indication of whether the device under test has the ability to emit the audio output above the predefined noise threshold comprises an indication of whether the right speaker and the left speaker are each emitting the audio output above the predefined noise threshold.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein:

the indication of whether the device under test has the ability to emit the audio output above the predefined noise threshold generated by the device under test comprises an indication of whether the right speaker and the left speaker are each emitting audio outputs across a plurality of frequency ranges.

13. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:

identifying a reference audio output associated with a manufacturing environment;

calibrating a threshold noise level of the manufacturing environment;

monitoring the manufacturing environment for an audio output above a predefined noise threshold, the audio output above the predefined noise threshold being generated by a device under test, the device under test being manufactured within the manufacturing environment;

comparing the audio output above the predefined noise threshold with the reference audio output; and,

presenting information associated with the audio output above the predefined noise threshold upon detection of a match between the audio output above the predefined noise threshold and the reference audio output, the information associated with the audio output providing an indication of whether the device under test has an ability to emit an audio output according to predetermined criteria, the presenting being via a user interface, the user interface presenting a graphical representation of the indication of whether the device under test has the ability to emit the audio output according to the predetermined criteria.

14. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein:

the identifying the reference audio output comprises recording a reference audio output; and,

selecting a reference audio output sample from the reference audio output.

15. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein:

the identifying the reference audio output comprises assigning a value to the reference audio output.

16. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein:

the information associated with the audio output is presented via an audio output detection system user interface.

17. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein:

the device under test comprises a right speaker and a left speaker; and,

the indication of whether the device under test has the ability to emit the audio output above the predefined noise threshold comprises an indication of whether the right speaker and the left speaker are each emitting the audio output above the predefined noise threshold.

18. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein:
