COMBINING OF SPATIAL AUDIO PARAMETERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17783735 titled 'COMBINING OF SPATIAL AUDIO PARAMETERS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes an apparatus for spatial audio encoding. Here is a simplified explanation:

  • The apparatus has means for determining two spatial audio parameters of a frequency sub band of one or more audio signals.
  • The first spatial audio parameter represents a specific characteristic of the frequency sub band.
  • The second spatial audio parameter represents another characteristic of the frequency sub band.
  • The apparatus combines the first and second spatial audio parameters to provide a combined spatial audio parameter for the frequency sub band.

Potential Applications

This technology can have various applications, including:

  • Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) systems, where realistic spatial audio enhances the immersive experience.
  • Gaming consoles and platforms, allowing players to accurately perceive sound sources and their positions in the game environment.
  • Home theater systems, providing a more immersive audio experience by accurately reproducing spatial audio effects.
  • Teleconferencing systems, improving the perception of remote participants' voices and their positions in the virtual meeting space.

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the following problems:

  • Traditional audio encoding methods often fail to capture the spatial characteristics of audio signals accurately.
  • Existing spatial audio encoding techniques may not provide sufficient precision or flexibility in representing the spatial properties of audio signals.
  • Inaccurate spatial audio encoding can result in a less immersive and realistic audio experience for users.

Benefits

The use of this technology offers several benefits:

  • Improved spatial audio encoding allows for a more realistic and immersive audio experience.
  • Accurate representation of spatial audio parameters enhances the perception of sound sources and their positions.
  • The combined spatial audio parameter provides a comprehensive representation of the spatial characteristics of the audio signals.
  • The flexibility of the apparatus allows for customization and adaptation to different audio content and playback systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

There is inter alia disclosed an apparatus for spatial audio encoding comprising: means for determining a first spatial audio parameter of a frequency sub band of one or more audio signals and a second spatial audio parameter of the frequency sub band of the one or more audio signals; and means for combining the first spatial audio parameter and the second spatial audio parameter to provide a combined spatial audio parameter for the frequency sub band.
