AUDIO PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240381050 titled 'AUDIO PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD THEREFOR
The patent application describes a system that receives input about the assumed listening position of a sound source and corrects the position information of objects based on this data. It then performs gain and frequency characteristic corrections on the waveform signal of the object, adding spatial acoustic characteristics to enhance the listening experience.
- Input unit receives assumed listening position of sound source
- Position information correction unit corrects object positions based on assumed listening position
- Gain/frequency characteristic correction unit adjusts waveform signal based on position information
- Spatial acoustic characteristic addition unit enhances waveform signal with spatial acoustic characteristics
- Applicable to audio processing devices
- Potential Applications:**
- Audio enhancement in home entertainment systems - Virtual reality and augmented reality audio experiences - Spatial audio processing in theaters and concert venues
- Problems Solved:**

- Commercial Applications:**
Spatial audio processing technology can be utilized in various industries such as entertainment, gaming, virtual reality, and audio production. It can enhance the user experience in these sectors by providing more realistic and immersive sound environments.
- Questions about Spatial Audio Processing:**
1. How does spatial audio processing differ from traditional stereo sound? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing spatial audio processing in different environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
an input unit receives input of an assumed listening position of sound of an object, which is a sound source, and outputs assumed listening position information indicating the assumed listening position. a position information correction unit corrects position information of each object on the basis of the assumed listening position information to obtain corrected position information. a gain/frequency characteristic correction unit performs gain correction and frequency characteristic correction on a waveform signal of an object on the basis of the position information and the corrected position information. a spatial acoustic characteristic addition unit further adds a spatial acoustic characteristic to the waveform signal resulting from the gain correction and the frequency characteristic correction on the basis of the position information of the object and the assumed listening position information. the present technology is applicable to an audio processing device.
