RENDERING AUDIO OVER MULTIPLE SPEAKERS WITH MULTIPLE ACTIVATION CRITERIA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240267679 titled 'RENDERING AUDIO OVER MULTIPLE SPEAKERS WITH MULTIPLE ACTIVATION CRITERIA
The patent application discloses methods for rendering audio for playback by two or more speakers, taking into account the intended perceived spatial position of the audio signals.
- The relative activation of the speakers is determined based on a cost function that considers the perceived spatial position of the audio signals, the proximity of the intended positions to the speakers, and dynamically configurable functions.
- The dynamically configurable functions are based on properties of the audio signals, the set of speakers, and external inputs.
Potential Applications:
- Surround sound systems
- Virtual reality audio experiences
- Live music performances
Problems Solved:
- Optimizing audio playback for multiple speakers
- Enhancing the spatial perception of audio signals
Benefits:
- Immersive audio experiences
- Enhanced sound quality
- Customizable audio settings
Commercial Applications:
- Audio equipment manufacturers
- Entertainment industry for film and gaming
- Music production studios
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include research on spatial audio rendering techniques and multi-channel audio playback systems.
Frequently Updated Research: Research on advanced audio rendering algorithms and spatial audio processing techniques may be relevant to this technology.
Questions about audio rendering for multiple speakers: 1. How does this technology improve the spatial perception of audio signals? 2. What are the key factors considered in determining the relative activation of speakers for audio playback?
Original Abstract Submitted
methods for rendering audio for playback by two or more speakers are disclosed. the audio includes one or more audio signals, each with an associated intended perceived spatial position. relative activation of the speakers may be a cost function of a model of perceived spatial position of the audio signals when played back over the speakers, a measure of proximity of the intended perceived spatial position of the audio signals to positions of the speakers, and one or more additional dynamically configurable functions. the dynamically configurable functions may be based on at least one or more properties of the audio signals, one or more properties of the set of speakers and/or one or more external inputs.
