DYNAMICS PROCESSING ACROSS DEVICES WITH DIFFERING PLAYBACK CAPABILITIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240323608 titled 'DYNAMICS PROCESSING ACROSS DEVICES WITH DIFFERING PLAYBACK CAPABILITIES
The patent application involves obtaining individual loudspeaker dynamics processing configuration data for multiple loudspeakers in a listening environment. This data is used to determine listening environment dynamics processing configuration data, which is then applied to perform dynamics processing on received audio data to generate processed audio data. The processed audio data is rendered through a set of loudspeakers, including some of the plurality of loudspeakers, to produce rendered audio signals for reproduction.
- Individual loudspeaker dynamics processing configuration data is obtained for multiple loudspeakers.
- Listening environment dynamics processing configuration data is determined based on the individual loudspeaker data.
- Dynamics processing is performed on received audio data using the environment configuration data.
- Processed audio data is rendered through a set of loudspeakers to produce rendered audio signals.
- The rendered audio signals are reproduced by the set of loudspeakers.
Potential Applications: - Home audio systems - Professional audio setups in theaters or concert venues - Virtual reality and augmented reality experiences
Problems Solved: - Optimizing audio output based on individual loudspeaker characteristics - Enhancing the listening experience by adjusting dynamics processing for the environment
Benefits: - Improved audio quality and spatial accuracy - Tailored audio output for different listening environments - Enhanced immersion in audiovisual content
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Audio Processing Technology for Enhanced Sound Reproduction" This technology can be used in high-end audio systems for home entertainment, professional audio setups in theaters, and virtual reality experiences. It can cater to audiophiles, audio engineers, and entertainment companies looking to provide top-notch sound quality.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the overall listening experience for users? 2. What are the key factors that determine the dynamics processing configuration for each loudspeaker in a listening environment?
Original Abstract Submitted
individual loudspeaker dynamics processing configuration data, for each of a plurality of loudspeakers of a listening environment, may be obtained. listening environment dynamics processing configuration data may be determined, based on the individual loudspeaker dynamics processing configuration data. dynamics processing may be performed on received audio data based on the listening environment dynamics processing configuration data, to generate processed audio data. the processed audio data may be rendered for reproduction via a set of loudspeakers that includes at least some of the plurality of loudspeakers, to produce rendered audio signals. the rendered audio signals may be provided to, and reproduced by, the set of loudspeakers.
