RELAY DEVICE, RELAY SYSTEM, RELAY METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240348472 titled 'RELAY DEVICE, RELAY SYSTEM, RELAY METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM
The abstract describes a relay device that receives an upper packet containing audio data of multiple channels and generates lower packets containing audio data of one or more channels to be outputted from different lower ports. The device reconstructs the upper packet to create the lower packets, deleting audio data of channels to be reproduced in a second network from the upper packet.
- Upper port receives upper packet with audio data of multiple channels
- Lower ports output lower packets with audio data of one or more channels
- Generation unit reconstructs upper packet to generate lower packets
- First lower port is starting point of first network
- Second lower port is starting point of second network, does not share nodes with first network
- Generation unit deletes audio data of channels for second network from upper packet
- Constructs audio data for lower packet to be outputted from first lower port
Potential Applications: - Audio streaming devices - Networked audio systems - Multi-channel audio distribution systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient distribution of audio data across multiple networks - Seamless integration of audio channels from different sources
Benefits: - Simplified audio data transmission - Enhanced network flexibility - Improved audio quality and synchronization
Commercial Applications: Title: Multi-Channel Audio Relay Device for Networked Systems This technology can be used in: - Home entertainment systems - Public address systems - Conference room audio setups
Prior Art: Research into networked audio distribution systems and multi-channel audio processing technologies can provide insights into similar innovations in the field.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in audio data transmission protocols and networked audio technologies for potential improvements in relay devices.
Questions about Multi-Channel Audio Relay Devices: 1. How does this technology improve audio data distribution efficiency? 2. What are the key differences between the first and second lower ports in the relay device?
Original Abstract Submitted
a relay device includes: an upper port configured to receive an upper packet containing audio data of a plurality of channels; a plurality of lower ports configured to output lower packets containing audio data of one or a plurality of channels; and a generation unit configured to reconstruct the upper packet to generate the lower packets. the plurality of lower ports include a first lower port and a second lower port. the first lower port is a starting point of a first network. the second lower port is a starting point of a second network and does not share nodes with the first network. the generation unit deletes audio data of a channel to be reproduced in the second network from the audio data contained in the upper packet, to construct audio data to be contained in the lower packet to be outputted from the first lower port.
