US Patent 11039265 Spatialized audio assignment

Various implementations include approaches for controlling a wearable audio device. In some cases, a method includes: adjusting a primary audio output at the wearable audio device from a first audio location to a second, distinct audio location in response to detecting an ambient acoustic signal or an additional audio input signal unrelated to the primary audio output, where the first audio location includes a stereo audio output from a plurality of audio locations or spatialized audio output from a first spatially rendered audio location, and where the second audio location comprises spatialized audio output from a second, distinct spatially rendered audio location.
