SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOW LATENCY INDIVIDUAL SOUND ZONES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240214733 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOW LATENCY INDIVIDUAL SOUND ZONES

The patent application describes a system and method for creating low latency sound zones in a listening space using only headrest speakers within a set distance of each zone. By processing audio signals through a connected module, the headrest speakers produce audio at or above 300 Hz, reducing processing demands and keeping latency under 5 milliseconds.

  • Headrest speakers within a specific range are used to generate sound zones in a listening area.
  • Audio signals are processed by a module to ensure the headrest speakers produce audio at 300 Hz or higher.
  • Latency is limited to 5 milliseconds, enhancing the real-time audio experience.
  • The system reduces processing load by focusing on frequencies above 300 Hz, optimizing performance.
  • By utilizing only headrest speakers, the system simplifies the setup and configuration of sound zones.

Potential Applications: - Home entertainment systems - Automotive audio systems - Virtual reality and augmented reality experiences - Public address systems - Gaming consoles

Problems Solved: - Minimizing latency in sound reproduction - Simplifying the setup of sound zones - Optimizing audio performance in limited spaces

Benefits: - Enhanced audio quality - Real-time sound zoning - Reduced processing demands - Easy installation and configuration

Commercial Applications: "Low Latency Sound Zone Generation System for Headrest Speakers: Revolutionizing Audio Experiences"

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system ensure low latency in sound zone generation? 2. What are the advantages of using headrest speakers for creating sound zones?


Original Abstract Submitted

a system and method for generating low latency sound zones in a listening space utilizing only headrest speaker(s) within a predetermined distance of each sound zone. the audio signals are processed by a processing module connected to the headrest loudspeakers to generate audio for the headrest loudspeakers that is greater than or equal to 300 hz, reducing the processing load and limiting latency to 5 msec.
