DATA PROCESSING APPARATUSES AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240054158 titled 'DATA PROCESSING APPARATUSES AND METHODS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a data processing apparatus that can receive an electronic file containing audio information encoded in a spatial audio format from another data processing apparatus via a web application. The apparatus can then output the received file for virtualization of the audio information, which involves changing the number of channels of the audio to allow playback via the web application while maintaining a spatial audio effect. The apparatus can also receive a virtualized version of the file and provide it via the web application.

  • The data processing apparatus receives an electronic file with spatial audio information from another apparatus via a web application.
  • The apparatus can change the number of audio channels to enable playback of the audio information while preserving the spatial audio effect.
  • It can receive a virtualized version of the file containing the modified audio information.
  • The apparatus can provide the virtualized file through the web application.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications that require spatial audio effects.
  • Online gaming platforms that want to provide immersive audio experiences.
  • Video conferencing platforms that want to enhance the audio quality and spatial perception for participants.
  • Music streaming services that want to offer a more immersive listening experience.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Enabling playback of spatial audio information via web applications without losing the spatial audio effect.
  • Simplifying the process of virtualizing audio files for web-based platforms.
  • Enhancing the audio experience in various applications by providing spatial audio effects.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved immersion and realism in virtual reality and augmented reality experiences.
  • Enhanced audio quality and spatial perception in online gaming and video conferencing.
  • More immersive and engaging music listening experiences.
  • Simplified integration of spatial audio into web applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

a data processing apparatus includes circuitry that is configured to: receive, from a second data processing apparatus via a web application, an electronic file comprising audio information encoded in a spatial audio format; output the received electronic file for virtualisation of the audio information encoded in the spatial audio format, the virtualisation comprising changing a number of channels of the audio information to allow playback of the audio information via the web application while retaining a spatial audio effect of the audio information; receive a virtualised version of the electronic file comprising the virtualised audio information; and provide, via the web application, the virtualised version of the electronic file.
