DYNAMIC AUDIO NORMALIZATION PROCESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240291456 titled 'DYNAMIC AUDIO NORMALIZATION PROCESS

The patent application describes methods, systems, and apparatuses for improving the processing of audio in a video stream.

  • The system can split audio in a frame of video content into multiple bands based on their audio levels.
  • It can dynamically compress and normalize the audio level in each band.
  • The system can determine acceptable audio level ranges for an end user and maintain the audio within those ranges.
  • The dynamically normalized and compressed frames can be included as a second audio track in the video content.
  • A computing device receiving the video content can select the second audio track during playback.

Potential Applications: - Enhancing the audio quality of video content - Providing users with customizable audio options - Improving the overall viewing experience of multimedia content

Problems Solved: - Ensuring consistent and optimal audio levels in video content - Allowing users to adjust audio levels to their preferences

Benefits: - Enhanced audio quality in videos - Customizable audio options for users - Improved user experience with multimedia content

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Audio Processing Technology for Video Content" This technology can be used in streaming services, video production, online education platforms, and entertainment industries to provide users with high-quality audio options and improve the overall viewing experience.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the audio quality in video content? - This technology dynamically compresses and normalizes audio levels in different bands, ensuring optimal sound quality for users. 2. What are the potential applications of this technology in the entertainment industry? - This technology can be used to enhance the audio experience in movies, TV shows, and online streaming platforms, providing users with customizable audio options.


Original Abstract Submitted

methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for improved processing audio in a video stream. a system may split audio in a frame of video content into multiple bands based on their audio levels. the system may then dynamically compress and dynamically normalize the audio level in each band. when dynamically compressing the bands, the system may determine, based on stored information, what audio level range is acceptable for an end user and may smooth and maintain the ranges of the audio to be within the acceptable range. the system may include the dynamically normalized and dynamically compressed frames as a second audio track in the video content. a computing device receiving the video content may select the second audio track during playback. if an end user selects the second audio track, the video is delivered with the modified sound of the second audio track.
