AUDIO SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING LOUDNESS LEVEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240030881 titled 'AUDIO SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING LOUDNESS LEVEL
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an audio signal processing device that includes a receiver, a processor, and an outputter. The receiver receives an input audio signal, and the processor generates loudness metadata corresponding to the input audio signal. The loudness metadata is then transmitted by the outputter. The processor acquires loudness information by analyzing the input content and measuring the loudness of the input audio signal. It converts the loudness information into loudness metadata and transmits it to an output device for outputting the input audio signal.
- The device receives an input audio signal and generates loudness metadata for it.
- The loudness metadata is transmitted to an output device for outputting the audio signal.
- The processor acquires loudness information by analyzing the input content and measuring the loudness of the audio signal.
- The loudness information is converted into loudness metadata by the processor.
- The loudness metadata is transmitted through the outputter to the output device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Audio production and mastering: The loudness metadata can be used to ensure consistent loudness levels across different audio tracks.
- Broadcast and streaming services: The loudness metadata can be used to normalize audio levels for a better listening experience.
- Hearing aid devices: The loudness metadata can be utilized to adjust the audio output based on the user's hearing preferences.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Inconsistent loudness levels in audio content can be addressed by using the loudness metadata to normalize the audio.
- Users can have a more enjoyable listening experience without constantly adjusting the volume due to varying loudness levels.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved audio quality and consistency across different audio tracks.
- Enhanced user experience by providing a more balanced and comfortable listening environment.
- Accessibility for individuals with hearing impairments through personalized adjustments based on loudness preferences.
Original Abstract Submitted
an audio signal processing device comprises: a receiver for receiving an input audio signal; a processor for generating loudness metadata corresponding to the input audio signal; and an outputter for transmitting the loudness metadata generated by the processor. the processor is configured to acquire loudness information analyzed from input content, acquires loudness information about the input audio signal by measuring the loudness of the input audio signal, generates the loudness metadata by converting the loudness information, and transmits, through the outputter, the generated loudness metadata to an output device for outputting the input audio signal.
