Apparatus and Method for Multi Device Audio Object Rendering - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240348999 titled 'Apparatus and Method for Multi Device Audio Object Rendering
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes an apparatus that generates audio channels for a reproduction device from audio object signals associated with different audio objects. The apparatus determines rendering information based on the position of the reproduction device and the audio objects, as well as the device's capability to replay spatial sound. It then generates the audio channels accordingly.
- The apparatus generates audio channels for a reproduction device from audio object signals.
- It determines rendering information based on the position of the reproduction device and audio objects.
- The apparatus also considers the device's capability to replay spatial sound.
- Audio channels are generated based on the rendering information obtained.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Generation of audio channels based on the position of the reproduction device and audio objects.
- Consideration of the device's capability to replay spatial sound.
- Customized audio channel generation for an enhanced listening experience.
Potential Applications:
- Surround sound systems
- Virtual reality audio
- Gaming consoles
Problems Solved:
- Ensuring accurate spatial audio reproduction
- Enhancing the immersive audio experience for users
Benefits:
- Improved audio quality
- Enhanced spatial sound reproduction
- Customized audio experience based on device capabilities and object positions
Commercial Applications:
