SYSTEM FOR GENERATING SOUND WAVES FOR AT LEAST TWO SEPARATE ZONES OF A SINGLE SPACE AND ASSOCIATED METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240334152 titled 'SYSTEM FOR GENERATING SOUND WAVES FOR AT LEAST TWO SEPARATE ZONES OF A SINGLE SPACE AND ASSOCIATED METHOD

The invention pertains to a system that can generate sound waves for multiple separate zones within a single space. This system includes high-frequency loudspeakers and low-frequency loudspeakers for each zone, along with audio processing means to control the sound waves.

  • The system utilizes arrays of high-frequency loudspeakers to create directional sound waves for each zone.
  • Each zone also has at least one low-frequency loudspeaker for enhanced audio quality.
  • The audio processing means can control the loudspeakers individually to produce destructive sound waves in one zone while maintaining distinct sound contents in multiple zones.
  • By controlling each low-frequency loudspeaker and array of high-frequency loudspeakers, the system can achieve the desired sound effects in different areas of the space.

Potential Applications: - Home entertainment systems - Commercial audio installations - Public address systems in large venues - Virtual reality and gaming environments

Problems Solved: - Providing different sound experiences in various zones of a single space - Enhancing audio quality and directionality in sound reproduction - Creating immersive audio environments for entertainment purposes

Benefits: - Customizable sound experiences in different areas - Improved audio clarity and directionality - Enhanced immersion in virtual reality and gaming environments

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Sound System for Multi-Zone Audio Environments This technology can be used in various commercial settings, such as theaters, concert halls, theme parks, and conference centers, to create unique and immersive audio experiences for audiences.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system ensure distinct sound contents in different zones of the space? 2. What are the advantages of using directional sound waves in audio systems?


Original Abstract Submitted

the invention relates to a system for generating sound waves for at least two separate zones of a single space. the system includes, for each zone of said space: at least one array of high-frequency loudspeakers forming a directional sound wave; and at least one low-frequency loudspeaker. the system also comprises means for audio processing of the signals transmitted to the loudspeakers, which means control at least one loudspeaker to generate destructive sound waves in at least one zone of said space and to obtain distinct sound contents in said at least two distinct zones of said space. to do this, the audio-processing means control each low-frequency loudspeaker individually and each array of high-frequency loudspeaker mutually in order to generate the destructive sound waves.
