There is provided a media device for use in a system including a plurality of speakers. The media device includes a memory configured to store a software application, and a processor. The processor is configured to execute the software application to transmit one or more audio calibration signals to the plurality of speakers for emission of sounds by the plurality of speakers in an environment, receive, from a user device, information relating to a detection of the one or more audio calibration signals detected by the user device, and analyze the information received from the user device to determine how the sounds travel in the environment.
BACKGROUND(1) The delivery of enhanced audio has improved significantly with the availability of sound bars, 5.1 surround sound, and 7.1 surround sound. These enhanced audio delivery systems have improved the quality of the audio delivery by separating the audio into audio channels that play through speakers placed at different locations surrounding the listener. The existing surround sound techniques enhance the perception of sound spatialization by exploiting sound localization, a listener's ability to identify the location or origin of a detected sound in direction and distance.SUMMARY(2) The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for delivery of a personalized audio, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, as set forth more completely in the claims.
1. A media device for use in a system including a plurality of speakers, the media device comprising: a memory configured to store a software application; and a processor configured to execute the software application to: transmit one or more audio calibration signals to the plurality of speakers for emission of sounds by the plurality of speakers in an environment; receive, from a user device, information relating to a detection of the sounds emitted by the plurality of speakers and detected by the user device; analyze the information received from the user device to determine positions of the plurality of speakers in the environment; detect a position of a user of the user device in the environment; create one or more virtual speakers to deliver personalized audio to the user using the plurality of speakers based on the positions of the plurality of speakers and the position of the user, by causing an interference between audio signals transmitted from two or more of the plurality of speakers, such that the interference creates a sound appearing to originate from a location where none of the plurality of speakers is present; track the position of the user while delivering the personalized audio to the user; and adjust the delivery of the personalized audio to the user based on the tracked position of the user and the positions of the plurality of speakers.
11. A method for use by a media device in a system including a plurality of speakers, the media device having a memory storing a software application and a processor executing the software application to perform the method comprising: transmitting, using the processor executing the software application, the one or more audio calibration signals to the plurality of speakers for emission of sounds by the plurality of speakers in an environment; receiving, using the processor executing the software application, from a user device, information relating to a detection of the sounds emitted by the plurality of speakers and detected by the user device; analyzing, using the processor executing the software application, the information received from the user device to determine positions of the plurality of speakers in the environment; detecting a position of a user of the user device in the environment; creating one or more virtual speakers to deliver personalized audio to the user using the plurality of speakers based on the positions of the plurality of speakers and the position of the user, by causing an interference between audio signals transmitted from two or more of the plurality of speakers, such that the interference creates a sound appearing to originate from a location where none of the plurality of speakers is present; tracking the position of the user while delivering the personalized audio to the user; and adjusting the delivery of the personalized audio to the user based on the tracked position of the user and the positions of the plurality of speakers.
