Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for adaptively modifying audio associated with a user. In an audio system configured to output audio to a user, one or more audio control settings, for adjusting audio in the audio system, may be determined, with at least one of the one or more audio control settings being configured to adjust or modify a voice associated with a user. Audio generated or handled in the audio system during operation of the audio system by the user may then be processed, with the processing including applying the one or more audio control settings. At least one of the audio control settings may be determined based on information obtained from a database associated with the operation of the audio system by the user. At least one of the audio control settings may be determined based on reference data.

Claims (26)

1. A system comprising:

one or more processing circuits configured to:

determine one or more audio control settings for adjusting audio in the system, wherein at least one of the one or more audio control settings is configured to adjust or modify a voice associated with a user of the system; and

process audio generated or handled in the system during operation of the system by the user, wherein the processing comprises applying the one or more audio control settings.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more audio control settings comprise parameters relating to one or more of audio pitch, audio intensity, and audio tone.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processing circuits are configured to determine at least one of the one or more audio control settings based on the an operation criterion associated with the operation of the system by the user.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processing circuits are configured to select at least one of the one or more audio control settings based on information associated with the operation of the system by the user.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processing circuits are configured to determine at least one of the one or more audio control settings based on information obtained from a database associated with the operation of the system by the user.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processing circuits are configured to determine at least one of the one or more audio control settings based on reference data.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the one or more processing circuits are configured to process the reference data, and determine the at least one of the one or more audio control settings based on processing of the reference data.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the one or more processing circuits are configured to obtain the reference data from a database associated with the operation of the system by the user.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processing circuits are configured to determine, based on the one or more audio control settings, one or more sound effect adjustments.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processing circuits are configured to modify, based on the one or more one or more sound effect adjustments, at least an output audio provided to the user during the operation of the system by the user.

11. A method for controlling audio in an audio system configured to output audio to a user, the method comprising:

determining one or more audio control settings for adjusting audio in the audio system, wherein at least one of the one or more audio control settings is configured to adjust or modify a voice associated with a user; and

processing audio generated or handled in the audio system during operation of the audio system by the user, wherein the processing comprises applying the one or more audio control settings.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the one or more audio control settings comprise parameters relating to one or more of audio pitch, audio intensity, and audio tone.

13. The method of claim 11 , comprising determining at least one of the one or more audio control settings based on an operation criterion associated with the operation of the audio system by the user.

14. The method of claim 11 , comprising selecting at least one of the one or more audio control settings based on information associated with the operation of the audio system by the user.

15. The method of claim 11 , comprising determining at least one of the one or more audio control settings based on information obtained from a database associated with the operation of the audio system by the user.

16. The method of claim 11 , comprising determining at least one of the one or more audio control settings based on reference data.

17. The method of claim 16 , comprising processing the reference data, and determining the at least one of the one or more audio control settings based on the processing of the reference data.

18. The method of claim 16 , comprising obtaining the reference data from a database associated with the operation of the audio system by the user.

19. The method of claim 16 , wherein the reference data comprises a recording of a voice meeting one or more predetermined audio characteristics.

20. The method of claim 11 , comprising determining, based on the one or more audio control settings, one or more sound effect adjustments.

21. The method of claim 20 , comprising modifying, based on the one or more one or more sound effect adjustments, at least an output audio provided to the user during the operation of the audio system by the user.
