SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING SEAT-BASED LOW FREQUENCY AUDIO PLAYBACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240349006 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING SEAT-BASED LOW FREQUENCY AUDIO PLAYBACK
The abstract describes a method for playback of an audio signal in a coherent listening environment with individual seat-based sound (ISS) systems, each having a single transducer and multiple listening modes.
- The method involves selecting a listening mode and playback preferences.
- A crosstalk cancellation algorithm is generated for the ISS system of interest using impulse response measurements of the audio signal.
- The algorithm is applied to the audio signal to cancel crosstalk and provide a coherent listening experience at the single transducer of the ISS system.
Potential Applications: - In-vehicle entertainment systems - Home theater systems - Virtual reality and augmented reality devices
Problems Solved: - Ensuring a coherent listening experience in multi-seat environments - Improving audio quality and spatial perception for individual listeners
Benefits: - Enhanced audio playback experience - Personalized sound preferences - Immersive and realistic sound reproduction
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Audio Playback System for Coherent Listening Environments" This technology can be used in automotive entertainment systems, home audio setups, and virtual reality platforms to provide users with a customized and immersive audio experience.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve the listening experience for individual users? - By canceling crosstalk and tailoring playback preferences, users can enjoy a personalized and coherent audio experience. 2. What are the potential market implications of this technology in the entertainment industry? - This technology could revolutionize the way audio is experienced in various settings, leading to increased demand for high-quality sound systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for playback of an audio signal at an individual seat-based sound (iss) system in a coherent listening environment having a plurality of iss systems and a plurality of listening modes. each iss system has a single transducer. a listening mode and a set of playback preferences are selected. a crosstalk cancellation algorithm for the iss system of interest is generated using impulse response measurements of the audio signal, taken only in an acoustical domain, of a transfer function between the audio signal directly after the single transducer in the iss system of interest and the audio signal at the head of the listener in the iss system of interest. the crosstalk cancellation algorithm for the selected listening mode is applied to the audio signal, and the audio signal is played back at the single transducer of the iss system of interest.
