Centrally controlling communication at a venue
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.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a server, audio data messages comprising audio data of an audio recording, hardware information of a mobile device associated with the recording, and location information identifying a location of the mobile device;
determining, via the server, a model of the mobile device based on the hardware identification information included in the received audio data messages;
applying, via the server, one or more filters, gains, frequency range and amplitude range to the audio data based on audio characteristics of the determined model of the mobile device;
determining, via the server, the audio data is above an optimal level based on a result of a comparison of the audio data to an audio data range being within a margin of an expected audio data range; and
queuing, via the server, 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 expected audio data range is one or more of a frequency range and an amplitude range.
3. The method of claim 1 , comprising 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. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the audio data is not acceptable, forwarding a prompt to the mobile device to modify an audio input strategy.
6. The method of claim 1 , comprising receiving additional audio data subsequent to the audio data being received.
7. An apparatus comprising
a processor configured to
receive audio data messages comprising audio data captured by a mobile device, hardware information of the mobile device, and location information identifying a location of the mobile device;
determine a model of the mobile device based on the hardware identification information included in the received audio data messages;
apply one or more filters, gains, frequency range and amplitude range to the audio data based on audio characteristics of the determined model of the mobile device;
determine the audio data is above an optimal level based on a result of a comparison of the audio data to an audio data range being within a margin of an expected audio data range; and
queue the audio data in an audio data queue when the audio data is above the optimal level.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the expected audio data range is one or more of a frequency range and an amplitude range.
9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to filter the audio data to remove excessive background audio data.
10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the excessive background audio data is identified as an audio signal above a threshold amplitude level at a particular frequency range.
11. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein when the audio data is not acceptable, the processor is further configured to forward a prompt to the mobile device to modify an audio input strategy.
12. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein additional audio data is received subsequent to the audio data being received.
13. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
receiving, at a server, audio data messages comprising audio data of an audio recording, hardware information of a mobile device associated with the recording, and location information identifying a location of the mobile device;
determining, via the server, a model of the mobile device based on the hardware identification information included in the received audio data messages;
applying, via the server, one or more filters, gains, frequency range and amplitude range to the audio data based on audio characteristics of the determined model of the mobile device;
determining, via the server, the audio data is above an optimal level based on a result of a comparison of the audio data to an audio data range being within a margin of an expected audio data range; and
queuing, via the server, the audio data in an audio data queue when the audio data is above the optimal level.
14. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the expected audio data range is one or more of a frequency range and an amplitude range.
15. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform filtering the audio data to remove excessive background audio data.
16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 ,
wherein the excessive background audio data is identified as an audio signal above a threshold amplitude level at a particular frequency range.
17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein additional audio data is received subsequent to the audio data being received.
18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein when the audio data is not acceptable, forwarding a prompt to the mobile device to modify an audio input strategy.
