WIRELESS SIGNAL SOURCE BASED AUDIO OUTPUT AND RELATED SYSTEMS, METHODS AND DEVICES

Abstract:

Systems, methods and devices for audio output responsive to a wireless communication link are disclosed, as well as related systems, methods and devices. In various embodiments, a spatial position of a second device relative to a first device may be determined responsive to a wireless communication link between the first device and the second device, and, responsive to the determined spatial position, at least part of an audio signal may be processed to include audio effects, and speaker(s) that output sound corresponding to the processed audio signal may have a directional "feel" to a listener. Spatial position may include a spatial direction and/or a distance. In related systems, methods and devices, various actions may be taken responsive to spatial position of a first device relative to a second device, such as selecting audio content, loading audio content, requesting and/or receiving audio content from an audio content repository, changing audio effects that are encoded into audio content (e.g., adding, removing, updating, etc.), and combinations thereof.
