AUDIO CANCELLATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18484636 titled 'AUDIO CANCELLATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
The abstract describes a noise cancellation system that identifies audio to which a noise cancellation process is to be applied, generates noise cancellation signals based on the identified audio, and reproduces these signals through multiple audio output units to create different outputs.
- Audio identification unit identifies audio for noise cancellation
- Output generation unit creates noise cancellation signals based on identified audio
- Two or more audio output units reproduce subsets of noise cancellation signals
- Different outputs are produced by the audio output units
Potential Applications: - Noise cancellation in headphones and earphones - Audio enhancement in cars and home entertainment systems - Communication devices for clearer voice transmission
Problems Solved: - Reducing background noise for improved audio quality - Enhancing listening experience in noisy environments - Providing customizable noise cancellation solutions
Benefits: - Improved audio clarity - Enhanced user experience - Customizable noise cancellation levels
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Noise Cancellation System for Enhanced Audio Experience This technology can be used in: - Headphones and earphones - Car audio systems - Home entertainment systems
Questions about Noise Cancellation Systems: 1. How does this technology differentiate between different types of audio for noise cancellation?
- The audio identification unit analyzes audio characteristics to determine the type of noise cancellation needed.
2. What are the advantages of using multiple audio output units in this system?
- Multiple output units allow for a more customized and effective noise cancellation experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
A noise cancellation system comprising an audio identification unit configured to identify audio to which a noise cancellation process is to be applied, an output generation unit configured to generate one or more noise cancellation signals in dependence upon the identified audio, and two or more audio output units each configured to reproduce a respective subset of the generated one or more noise cancellation signals, such that the two or more audio output units are configured to produce different outputs.
