==LIGHT-BASED SPATIAL AUDIO METERING - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240015467 titled 'LIGHT-BASED SPATIAL AUDIO METERING

==Simplified Explanation==

The disclosed patent application describes a system, method, and computer program product for visualizing sound coverage in a venue. The embodiment of this technology involves receiving audio content from an audio source and determining the audio signal properties, such as energy, spectrum, or directivity. The system also receives the configuration of loudspeakers or sound beams in the venue. It then visualizes the audio signal by mapping the spectral, temporal, and spatial components onto a unique volumetric beam of colored light, representing the sound characteristics. The visualized audio signal is displayed as a virtual representation of the sound coverage in the venue.

* The technology visualizes sound coverage in a venue based on audio signal properties and speaker configuration.
* It uses a mapping of spectral, temporal, and spatial components onto a volumetric beam of colored light.
* The visualized audio signal provides a virtual representation of the sound coverage in the venue.

Potential Applications:
* Event planning and design: This technology can be used in event planning to visualize and optimize the sound coverage in a venue, ensuring an optimal audio experience for attendees.
* Venue management: Venue managers can utilize this technology to analyze and improve the sound coverage in different areas of the venue, making adjustments to speaker configurations as needed.
* Acoustic engineering: Acoustic engineers can use this technology to study and analyze the sound distribution in various venues, helping them design better sound systems.

Problems Solved:
* Lack of visibility: This technology solves the problem of not being able to visually understand the sound coverage in a venue, allowing for better planning and optimization.
* Inefficient sound distribution: By visualizing the sound coverage, this technology helps identify areas with poor sound distribution and enables adjustments to be made to improve the overall audio experience.

Benefits:
* Enhanced event experience: By optimizing sound coverage, this technology ensures a better audio experience for event attendees.
* Efficient venue management: Venue managers can efficiently analyze and adjust sound systems based on the visualized audio signal, improving the overall sound distribution in the venue.
* Cost savings: By visualizing sound coverage, unnecessary speaker installations or adjustments can be avoided, resulting in cost savings for venue owners.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for visualizing sound coverage in a venue. an embodiment operates by receiving audio content from an audio source, determining audio signal properties of the audio content, where the audio signal properties comprise one or more spectral, temporal, spatial components (e.g., energy, spectrum or directivity), receiving an audio system configuration of loudspeakers or sound beams of a venue, visualizing the audio signal based on a mapping of an intersection of a unique volumetric beam of colored light, representing the spectral, temporal, spatial components, with a portion of the venue and displaying the visualized audio signal as a virtual representation of sound coverage of the portion of the venue.
