| 20110249820 | AUDIO SPATIAL EFFECT ENHANCEMENT - The disclosed subject matter relates to an architecture that can facilitate generation of enhanced spatial effects for stereo audio systems. Such can be accomplished by integrating on top ambience signal boosting employed in conventional systems. In particular, the ambience signal can be transformed according to a time-dependent function, which can simulate the auditory impressions of a real-world listening environment that may contain static, regularly moving, and/or irregular moving elements. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20140362997 | System and Method for Playing Media - A system, computer-implemented method, and tangible computer-readable media for media playback. The method includes receiving a request from a user to play a media asset, detecting capabilities of the playback device, detecting playback environment acoustic characteristics, optimizing media playback settings for the playback device and the playback environment characteristics, preparing the media asset for playback on the playback device, and transferring the prepared media asset to the playback device for playback. The method can further transfer optimized playback settings to the playback device. Media asset preparation can be based at least in part on the optimized playback settings. A playback profile can store environment characteristics and playback device capabilities. The method continuously detects changes in the playback environment characteristics, and optimizes media playback settings when detected changes exceed a threshold. | 12-11-2014 |
| 20150373471 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING DIRECTIONS OF UNCORRELATED SOUND SOURCES IN A HIGHER ORDER AMBISONICS REPRESENTATION OF A SOUND FIELD - Higher Order Ambisonics (HOA) represents three-dimensional sound. HOA provides high spatial resolution and facilitates analysing of the sound field with respect to dominant sound sources. The invention aims to identify independent dominant sound sources constituting the sound field, and to track their temporal trajectories. Known applications are searching for all potential candidates for dominant sound source directions by looking at the directional power distribution of the original HOA representation, whereas in the invention all components which are correlated with the signals of previously found sound sources are removed. By such operation the problem of erroneously detecting many instead of only one correct sound source can be avoided in case its contributions to the sound field are highly directionally dispersed. | 12-24-2015 |
