This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240414493 titled 'EFFICIENT RENDERING OF VIRTUAL SOUNDFIELDS




==Original Abstract Submitted==

an audio system and method of spatially rendering audio signals that uses modified virtual speaker panning is disclosed. the audio system may include a fixed number f of virtual speakers, and the modified virtual speaker panning may dynamically select and use a subset p of the fixed virtual speakers. the subset p of virtual speakers may be selected using a low energy speaker detection and culling method, a source geometry-based culling method, or both. one or more processing blocks in the decoder/virtualizer may be bypassed based on the energy level of the associated audio signal or the location of the sound source relative to the user/listener, respectively. in some embodiments, a virtual speaker that is designated as an active virtual speaker at a first time, may also be designated as an active virtual speaker at a second time to ensure the processing completes.
