OBTAINING CALIBRATION DATA FOR CAPTURING SPATIAL AUDIO - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240259745 titled 'OBTAINING CALIBRATION DATA FOR CAPTURING SPATIAL AUDIO
The method described in the patent application involves a user device obtaining calibration data for generating spatial audio content, while also performing a zooming operation for video content being captured.
- User device determines the need for calibration data for spatial audio content.
- First user input triggers a zooming operation for video content.
- Deviation is added to the zooming operation.
- Second user input mitigates the effect of the deviation.
- Calibration data is obtained by capturing audio content using multiple microphones.
- Potential Applications:**
- This technology can be used in smartphones, cameras, and other devices to enhance spatial audio capabilities. - It can improve the overall audio quality in video recordings and live streaming applications.
- Problems Solved:**
- Addresses the need for accurate calibration data to generate high-quality spatial audio content. - Mitigates the effects of deviations in zooming operations for video content.
- Benefits:**
- Improved spatial audio experience for users. - Enhanced audio quality in video recordings. - User-friendly interface for adjusting audio settings.
- Commercial Applications:**
"Enhanced Spatial Audio Technology for Video Recording Devices" This technology can be marketed to smartphone manufacturers, camera companies, and content creators looking to improve their audio recording capabilities. It can also be integrated into video conferencing platforms to enhance the overall audio experience for users.
- Questions about Enhanced Spatial Audio Technology:**
1. How does this technology improve the overall audio quality in video recordings? 2. What are the potential applications of spatial audio technology in live streaming platforms?
Original Abstract Submitted
a method comprising determining that calibration data is to be obtained, by a user device, wherein the calibration data is for generating spatial audio content, determining that a first user input is received by the user device, wherein the first user input causes a zooming operation to be performed for video content that is being captured by the user device, adding a deviation to the zooming operation, determining that a user second input is received by the user device, as a response to adding the deviation, wherein the second user input mitigates, at least partly, an effect caused by the deviation, and in response to the second user input, obtaining the calibration data by capturing audio content using a plurality of microphones.
