CONTROL AND MEMORY ACCESSES USING STREAMING AUDIO - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240281196 titled 'CONTROL AND MEMORY ACCESSES USING STREAMING AUDIO
The abstract of a patent application describes a device system-on-a-chip (SoC) that includes a streaming audio interface, a local memory, and a device controller coupled to the memory. The device controller decodes an audio frame received via the streaming audio interface to generate a decoded audio frame. The decoded audio frame is processed according to a streaming audio protocol to obtain control data and periodic streaming audio data. The control data is parsed to obtain a memory address pointer, and memory access to the local memory is performed based on this pointer.
- The device system-on-a-chip (SoC) includes a streaming audio interface, local memory, and a device controller.
- The device controller decodes audio frames received via the streaming audio interface to generate decoded audio frames.
- The decoded audio frames are processed according to a streaming audio protocol to obtain control data and periodic streaming audio data.
- The control data is parsed to obtain a memory address pointer for memory access to the local memory.
- This technology enables efficient processing and storage of streaming audio data on a single chip.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in audio processing devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smart speakers. - It can also be applied in automotive infotainment systems for processing streaming audio data.
Problems Solved: - Efficient decoding and processing of streaming audio data. - Simplified memory access for storing and retrieving audio data.
Benefits: - Improved audio processing performance. - Reduced memory access latency. - Enhanced overall system efficiency.
Commercial Applications: Streaming audio devices, audio processing systems, automotive infotainment systems.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device controller decode audio frames efficiently? 2. What are the potential limitations of this technology in terms of audio processing capabilities?
Original Abstract Submitted
a device system-on-a-chip (soc) includes a streaming audio interface, a local memory, and a device controller coupled to the memory. the device controller is to decode an audio frame to generate a decoded audio frame. the audio frame is received via the streaming audio interface. the decoded audio frame is processed according to a streaming audio protocol to obtain corresponding control data and periodic streaming audio data. the control data is parsed to obtain a memory address pointer. memory access to the local memory is performed based on the memory address pointer.
