==INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240015460 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an information processing device that acquires an audio signal and applies head-related transfer function (HRTF) information to the audio signal. It includes a signal acquisition unit, a storage unit for storing user-specific HRTF information, a determination processing unit to check if the HRTF information is stored in another device, a transfer function acquisition unit to acquire the user's HRTF information, and a function application unit to apply the HRTF information to the audio signal.

* The device acquires an audio signal.
* It stores user-specific HRTF information.
* It determines if the HRTF information is stored in another device.
* It acquires the user's HRTF information.
* It applies the user's HRTF information to the audio signal.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) systems can use the user's HRTF information to create a more immersive audio experience.
* Gaming consoles and platforms can enhance the spatial audio effects by applying personalized HRTF information.
* Communication devices, such as headphones or headsets, can provide a more realistic and personalized audio experience.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Traditional audio systems may not consider individual differences in how people perceive sound, leading to a less immersive and realistic audio experience.
* Without personalized HRTF information, spatial audio effects may not accurately represent the intended sound source location.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved immersion and realism in virtual environments, gaming, and audio communication.
* Enhanced spatial audio effects for a more engaging and enjoyable audio experience.
* Personalized audio representation that considers individual differences in sound perception.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

an information processing device includes: a signal acquisition unit that acquires an audio signal; a storage unit that stores head-related transfer function information corresponding to a user; a determination processing unit that determines whether or not the head-related transfer function information corresponding to the user is stored in another information processing device; a transfer function acquisition unit that acquires the head-related transfer function information corresponding to the user; and a function application unit that applies the head-related transfer function information corresponding to the user to the audio signal.
