INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240333242 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM
The abstract describes an information processing apparatus that includes a filter processing unit and a filter setting unit. The filter processing unit filters an input signal, while the filter setting unit adjusts the filtering to control the sound of a specific type of audio source in the input signal based on an estimation result obtained from the input signal.
- The innovation involves a filter processing unit that filters input signals and a filter setting unit that adjusts the filtering to control the sound of a target audio source type.
- The setting of the filter is determined using an estimation result obtained from the input signal by an estimation algorithm.
- This technology allows for signal processing based on the input signal without the need for increasing hardware scale and costs.
- The innovation enables the suppression of an increase in hardware scale and costs while performing effective signal processing.
- By controlling the sound of a specific type of audio source in the input signal, this technology enhances the quality of audio output.
Potential Applications:
- Audio processing in consumer electronics devices
- Noise cancellation in audio recordings
- Speech enhancement in communication systems
Problems Solved:
- Cost-effective signal processing without increasing hardware scale
- Enhanced control over the sound of specific audio sources in input signals
Benefits:
- Improved audio quality
- Cost savings in hardware development
- Enhanced user experience in audio applications
Commercial Applications:
- Audio processing software for smartphones and tablets
- Noise-canceling headphones
- Communication systems for clear speech transmission
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the estimation algorithm determine the filter settings? 2. What are the specific types of audio sources that can be controlled using this technology?
Frequently Updated Research: Research on advanced estimation algorithms for audio signal processing is ongoing, aiming to further enhance the capabilities of this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
for example, it becomes possible to suppress an increase in hardware scale and costs and to perform signal processing according to an input signal. provided is an information processing apparatus including a filter processing unit that performs filtering on an input signal, and a filter setting unit that makes a setting of the filtering such that a sound of a target audio source type in the input signal is controlled and the setting is determined using an estimation result obtained from the input signal by an estimation algorithm.
