Spatial Audio Parameter Merging - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240321282 titled 'Spatial Audio Parameter Merging
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an apparatus that combines metadata parameters from different audio signal formats to generate combined metadata associated with a combined audio signal.
- The apparatus determines metadata parameters for at least one first audio signal and at least one further audio signal.
- It then combines these metadata parameters to create a combined metadata.
- The combined metadata is associated with a combined audio signal formed from the first and further audio signals, including spatial audio parameters.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Combining metadata parameters from different audio signal formats.
- Generating combined metadata for a combined audio signal.
- Inclusion of spatial audio parameters in the combined metadata.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in:
- Audio production and mixing.
- Virtual reality and augmented reality applications.
- Immersive audio experiences in gaming and entertainment.
Problems Solved:
- Efficiently combining metadata from diverse audio signal formats.
- Enhancing spatial audio parameters in audio signals.
- Improving the overall audio experience for users.
Benefits:
- Enhanced audio quality.
- Improved spatial audio effects.
- Seamless integration of metadata from different sources.
Commercial Applications: The technology could be valuable in industries such as:
- Music production.
- Virtual reality content creation.
- Gaming and entertainment.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the apparatus determine the metadata parameters for different audio signal formats? 2. What are the specific spatial audio parameters included in the combined metadata?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in audio signal processing and spatial audio technology to enhance the capabilities of this apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus performs; determining, for at least one first audio signal of an audio signal format, at least one metadata parameter; determining for at least one further audio signal of a further audio signal format; at least one further metadata parameter; controlling combining of the at least one metadata parameter with the at least one further metadata parameter to generate a combined metadata, wherein the combined metadata is configured to be associated with a combined audio signal formed from the at least one first audio signal and the at least one further audio signal in such a way that the combined metadata includes at least one spatial audio parameter.
