METHODS, APPARATUS AND SYSTEMS FOR GENERATION, TRANSPORTATION AND PROCESSING OF IMMEDIATE PLAYOUT FRAMES (IPFS) - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240347068 titled 'METHODS, APPARATUS AND SYSTEMS FOR GENERATION, TRANSPORTATION AND PROCESSING OF IMMEDIATE PLAYOUT FRAMES (IPFS)
The abstract describes an audio decoder for decoding a bitstream of encoded audio data, which includes a sequence of audio sample values in frames. The decoder includes a determiner to identify immediate playout frames with additional information, and an initializer to decode these frames before the current frame.
- The audio decoder is designed to handle encoded audio data in frames, determining immediate playout frames for efficient decoding.
- An initializer function is used to decode the additional information in immediate playout frames before processing the current frame, optimizing the decoding process.
- The innovation allows for faster and more efficient decoding of audio data, improving overall performance and playback quality.
- This technology can be applied in various audio decoding systems, enhancing the user experience with smoother playback and reduced latency.
- By efficiently handling immediate playout frames, the audio decoder can improve the overall decoding process, leading to better audio quality and performance.
Potential Applications: - Audio streaming services - Multimedia applications - Communication systems - Gaming consoles - Virtual reality platforms
Problems Solved: - Efficient decoding of audio data - Reduced latency in audio playback - Improved audio quality and performance
Benefits: - Faster decoding process - Enhanced audio quality - Reduced latency in audio playback - Improved user experience
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Audio Decoding Technology for Improved Performance This technology can be utilized in various commercial applications such as audio streaming services, multimedia platforms, communication systems, gaming consoles, and virtual reality devices to enhance audio decoding efficiency and improve overall user experience.
Questions about Audio Decoding Technology: 1. How does the audio decoder handle immediate playout frames for efficient decoding? The audio decoder uses a determiner to identify immediate playout frames with additional information, which are then decoded by an initializer function before processing the current frame, optimizing the decoding process.
2. What are the potential applications of this enhanced audio decoding technology? This technology can be applied in audio streaming services, multimedia applications, communication systems, gaming consoles, and virtual reality platforms to improve audio quality, reduce latency, and enhance user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
described herein is an audio decoder for decoding a bitstream of encoded audio data, wherein the bitstream of encoded audio data represents a sequence of audio sample values and comprises a plurality of frames, wherein each frame comprises associated encoded audio sample values, the audio decoder comprising: a determiner configured to determine whether a frame of the bitstream of encoded audio data is an immediate playout frame comprising encoded audio sample values associated with a current frame and additional information; and an initializer configured to initialize the decoder if the determiner determines that the frame is an immediate playout frame, wherein initializing the decoder comprises decoding the encoded audio sample values comprised by the additional information before decoding the encoded audio sample values associated with the current frame. described are further a method for decoding said bitstream of encoded audio data as well as an audio encoder, a system of audio encoders and a method for generating said bitstream of encoded audio data with immediate playout frames. described are moreover also an apparatus for generating immediate playout frames in a bitstream of encoded audio data or for removing immediate playout frames from a bitstream of encoded audio data and respective non-transitory digital storage media.
