STEERING AUDIO RECORDINGS IN A SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240319956 titled 'STEERING AUDIO RECORDINGS IN A SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a system that can implement directional audio playback through digital signal processing on recorded audio. The system includes a processing device that selects audio information from a microphone array and generates directional instruction information for virtual playback direction.
- The system implements directional audio playback through digital signal processing.
- A processing device selects audio information from a microphone array.
- Directional instruction information is generated for virtual playback direction.
- A digital signal processing plan is created based on the virtual playback direction.
- The processing plan is applied to produce audio playback corresponding to the virtual playback direction.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Implementation of directional audio playback through digital signal processing.
- Selection of audio information from a microphone array.
- Generation of directional instruction information for virtual playback direction.
- Creation of a digital signal processing plan based on the virtual playback direction.
- Application of the processing plan to produce audio playback corresponding to the virtual playback direction.
Potential Applications:
The technology can be used in virtual reality systems, gaming consoles, audio recording devices, and communication systems to enhance directional audio playback for an immersive experience.
Problems Solved:
The technology addresses the challenge of accurately reproducing directional audio playback from recorded audio, providing a more realistic and immersive audio experience for users.
Benefits:
- Enhanced directional audio playback experience.
- Improved immersion in virtual reality environments.
- Precise audio localization for gaming and communication systems.
Commercial Applications:
The technology can be applied in virtual reality gaming, audio recording equipment, communication systems, and entertainment venues to provide users with a more realistic and immersive audio experience.
Questions about Directional Audio Playback:
1. How does the system select audio information from the microphone array? 2. What are the potential applications of directional audio playback technology in the entertainment industry?
Original Abstract Submitted
a system may be configured to implement directional audio playback via digital signal processing on recorded audio. in some aspects, the system may include a processing device. further, the processing device may be configured to select audio information for audio playback, the audio information including a plurality of audio captures of a microphone array, and determine directional instruction information for the audio playback, the directional instruction information identifying a virtual playback direction. in addition, the processing device may be further configured to generate a digital signal processing (dsp) plan based on the virtual playback direction, and apply the processing plan to the plurality of audio captures to produce the audio playback corresponding to the virtual playback direction.
