TRANSIENT DETECTION WITH HANGOVER INDICATOR FOR ENCODING AN AUDIO SIGNAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240119951 titled 'TRANSIENT DETECTION WITH HANGOVER INDICATOR FOR ENCODING AN AUDIO SIGNAL

Simplified Explanation

A transient detector analyzes a given frame n of the input audio signal to determine, based on audio signal characteristics of the given frame n, a transient hangover indicator for a following frame n+1, and signals the determined transient hangover indicator to an associated audio encoder to enable proper encoding of the following frame n+1.

  • The innovation involves analyzing audio signal characteristics of a frame to determine a transient hangover indicator for the next frame.
  • The determined transient hangover indicator is then used by an audio encoder for proper encoding of the following frame.
  • This technology aims to improve the encoding of audio signals by taking into account transient characteristics.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in:

  • Audio encoding and compression systems
  • Music production and mastering software
  • Speech recognition systems

Problems Solved

  • Ensures accurate encoding of transient audio signals
  • Improves overall audio quality in compressed formats
  • Enhances the fidelity of audio recordings

Benefits

  • Higher quality audio encoding
  • Improved listening experience for users
  • Enhanced performance of audio processing systems

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Audio Encoding with Transient Detection Technology

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to transient detection in audio processing systems, but specific examples are not provided in this context.

Unanswered Questions

How does the transient detector analyze audio signal characteristics to determine the hangover indicator?

The exact methodology and algorithms used for this analysis are not detailed in the abstract.

What specific improvements in audio encoding efficiency can be attributed to this technology?

The abstract mentions enabling proper encoding of the following frame, but the extent of the efficiency gains is not specified.
