MODIFYING AUDIO FOR PRESENTATION TO A USER BASED ON A DETERMINED LOCATION OF AN AUDIO SYSTEM PRESENTING THE AUDIO - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240259755 titled 'MODIFYING AUDIO FOR PRESENTATION TO A USER BASED ON A DETERMINED LOCATION OF AN AUDIO SYSTEM PRESENTING THE AUDIO
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes an audio system that customizes the presentation of audio content to a user based on their location. The system includes sensors, transducers, and an audio controller to adjust audio functions based on the user's position.
- The audio system customizes audio content based on the user's location
- It includes sensors, transducers, and an audio controller
- Audio functions such as noise suppression and beamforming are adjusted based on the user's position
- Active or passive feedback from the user can be used to update the system
Potential Applications: The technology could be used in virtual reality headsets, smart glasses, or other wearable devices to enhance the audio experience for users in different locations.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of providing personalized audio experiences to users based on their location, improving the overall audio quality and user satisfaction.
Benefits: - Enhanced audio experience for users - Personalized audio content based on location - Improved noise suppression and beamforming capabilities
Commercial Applications: Title: Location-Based Audio Customization Technology for Wearable Devices This technology could be utilized in the gaming industry, virtual reality applications, and communication devices to provide users with a more immersive and tailored audio experience.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include research on location-based audio customization, sensor integration in wearable devices, and audio signal processing algorithms.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring advancements in sensor technology, audio processing algorithms, and user feedback mechanisms to further enhance the capabilities of location-based audio customization systems.
Questions about Location-Based Audio Customization Technology: 1. How does the audio controller determine the user's location from the position sensor? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different wearable devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
an audio system customizes presentation of audio content to a user based on a location of the user. the audio system may be integrated into a headset or another wearable device. the audio system includes a position sensor, a sensor array, a transducer array, and an audio controller. the audio controller determines a location of the headset from the position sensor. based on the determined location and a model, the audio controller retrieves one or more audio parameters for the location. the controller updates parameters of one or more audio functions (e.g., noise suppression, beamforming, what audio is streamed, etc.) based on the audio parameters determined for the location. active or passive feedback from the user may be used to update the model.
