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.
