A computer-implemented method includes pairing a first auditory device associated with a first user with an audio source. The method further includes generating a first user profile for the first user that includes first user preferences for streaming a first audio stream from the audio source to the first auditory device. The method further includes pairing a second auditory device associated with a second user with the audio source. The method further includes generating a second user profile for the second user. The method further includes determining, with the audio source, that the first auditory device and the second auditory device are within a proximity range of the audio source. The method further includes transmitting the first audio stream to the first auditory device based on the first user preferences and the second audio stream to the second auditory device based on the second user preferences.

Transmitting audio streams to auditory devices based on user preferences

An apparatus includes one or more processors and logic encoded in one or more non-transitory media for execution by the one or more processors and when executed operable to receive a request from a user for one or more services associated with satellites. The logic is further operable to while performing an initialization process, provide a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes information about one or more of the satellites. The logic is further operable to determine that the initialization process is complete. The logic is further operable to update the GUI to include an option to provide the one or more services associated with the satellites.

In some implementations, a method includes transmitting, from a first terminal node, a first audio message to a second terminal node, where the first terminal node includes a first left ear device and a first right ear device, and where the second terminal node includes a second left ear device and a second right ear device. The method further includes transmitting, from the second terminal node, a second audio message to the first terminal node, where audio transmissions of a voice chat are transmitted directly between the first terminal node and the second terminal node.

Peer-to-peer Bluetooth voice chat

In some implementations, a method includes initiating, at a first device of a group of devices, a group voice chat between the first device and one or more other devices of the group of devices in a Bluetooth broadcast, where audio transmissions of the group voice chat are transmitted in a sequence of time intervals, and where the time intervals include subintervals. The method further includes allocating a first subinterval of the subintervals to the first device, the first device transmits a first audio message during the first subinterval, and where the first audio message is broadcast to the group of devices. The method further includes allocating a second subinterval of the subintervals to a second device of the group of devices, where the second device transmits a second audio message during the second subinterval, and where the second audio message is broadcast to the group of devices.
