Modifying Audio Data Transmitted to a Receiving Device to Account for Acoustic Parameters of a User of the Receiving Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240284139 titled 'Modifying Audio Data Transmitted to a Receiving Device to Account for Acoustic Parameters of a User of the Receiving Device

Simplified Explanation:

The communication system described in the patent application provides spatialized audio content to client devices based on various audio parameters received from the devices.

  • The communication system delivers audio content to client devices capable of playing spatialized audio.
  • It dynamically adjusts the audio content based on parameters like local area acoustic properties, user audiograms, and head-related transfer functions.
  • The system receives audio content from one client device and transmits it to others for playback.
  • By customizing the audio based on individual parameters, users can experience optimized sound quality.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Dynamic modification of audio content based on user-specific parameters.
  • Spatialized audio delivery to multiple client devices.
  • Customization of audio based on local acoustic properties.
  • Enhanced user experience through personalized audio playback.

Potential Applications:

The technology can be applied in various industries such as:

  • Entertainment and gaming for immersive audio experiences.
  • Virtual reality and augmented reality for realistic soundscapes.
  • Assistive listening devices for individuals with hearing impairments.

Problems Solved:

  • Inconsistent audio quality across different devices.
  • Lack of personalized audio experiences.
  • Difficulty in optimizing sound for individual users.

Benefits:

  • Improved audio quality tailored to individual preferences.
  • Enhanced user engagement and immersion.
  • Accessibility for users with hearing impairments.

Commercial Applications:

Title: Personalized Spatial Audio Communication System

This technology has commercial applications in:

  • Gaming and entertainment industries for immersive audio experiences.
  • Assistive listening device market for individuals with hearing impairments.
  • Virtual reality and augmented reality applications for realistic soundscapes.

Questions about Personalized Spatial Audio Communication System:

1. How does the communication system optimize audio content for users with hearing impairments? 2. What are the potential market implications of this technology in the entertainment industry?


Original Abstract Submitted

a communication system provides audio content to one or more client devices capable of playing spatialized audio content. for example, the communication system receives audio content from a client device and transmits the audio content to other client devices to be played for users. the communication system dynamically modifies audio content transmitted to different client devices based on a payload including audio parameters (e.g., local area acoustic properties, an audiogram for a user, a head related transfer function for a user, etc.) received from a client device.
