Vocal Attenuation Mechanism in On-Device App - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240184515 titled 'Vocal Attenuation Mechanism in On-Device App
Simplified Explanation
Generating vocal attenuation for a media item involves modifying the media item to create a modified version with an isolated audio track. This is done using an attenuation model via a separator network on the client's device. During playback, the listener can adjust characteristics of the isolated track, such as volume levels. Visual indicators are used to denote media items with vocal attenuation features, and these features are only available for media items that meet certain quality metrics.
- Obtaining the media item on a client device
- Modifying the media item to create a modified version with an isolated audio track
- Using an attenuation model via a separator network on the client's device
- Providing functionality to adjust characteristics of the isolated track during playback
- Denoting media items with visual indicators when vocal attenuation is available
- Making vocal attenuation features available for media items that meet quality metrics
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in audio editing software, streaming platforms, and media players to allow users to adjust vocal levels in media items.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of unwanted vocals overpowering other audio elements in media items, providing users with more control over their listening experience.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved customization options for users, enhanced listening experiences, and increased user satisfaction with media playback.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include integration into music streaming services, video editing software, and audio enhancement tools.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be audio editing software that allows users to adjust individual audio tracks within media items.
Original Abstract Submitted
generating vocal attenuation for a media item having an audio component includes obtaining the media item on a client device and modifying the media item to create a modified media item with an isolated audio track. the modified media item is created using an attenuation model via a separator network on the client's device. during playback, functionality is provided to a listener to modify characteristics of the isolated track, such as volume levels. graphical representations of media items are denoted with visual indicators (e.g., icons) when vocal attenuation for the media item is available. vocal attenuation features are made available for media items that satisfy attenuation quality metrics.
