ENCODING DEVICE AND ENCODING METHOD, DECODING DEVICE AND DECODING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240055007 titled 'ENCODING DEVICE AND ENCODING METHOD, DECODING DEVICE AND DECODING METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a decoding device that can acquire and decode encoded audio signals with multiple channels and/or objects, based on priority information provided for each channel and/or object.
- The decoding device acquires one or more encoded audio signals with multiple channels and/or objects.
- The device also receives priority information for each of the channels and/or objects.
- It decodes the encoded audio signals based on the priority information.
Potential Applications:
- This technology can be used in audio systems to decode and prioritize different audio channels or objects, providing enhanced audio experiences.
- It can be applied in virtual reality or augmented reality systems to decode and prioritize audio signals from different sources, improving the immersive experience.
- The decoding device can be used in multimedia applications to decode and prioritize audio signals in real-time, ensuring optimal audio quality.
Problems Solved:
- The decoding device solves the problem of efficiently decoding and prioritizing multiple audio channels or objects, ensuring that the most important audio signals are given priority.
- It addresses the challenge of managing and decoding complex audio signals with different levels of importance or priority.
Benefits:
- The decoding device improves the overall audio quality by decoding and prioritizing audio signals based on their importance.
- It enhances the user experience by ensuring that important audio signals are not overshadowed by less important ones.
- The technology provides flexibility in managing and decoding audio signals, allowing for customization and optimization based on specific requirements or preferences.
