| 20160163321 | Processing of Time-Varying Metadata for Lossless Resampling - Embodiments are directed to a method of representing spatial rendering metadata for processing in an object-based audio system that allows for lossless interpolation and/or re-sampling of the metadata. The method comprises time stamping the metadata to create metadata instances, and encoding an interpolation duration to with each metadata instance that specifies the time to reach a desired rendering state for the respective metadata instance. The re-sampling of metadata is useful for re-clocking metadata to an audio coder and for the editing audio content. | 2016-06-09 |
| 20160163322 | PROCESSING METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING DATA BY AN AUDIO CONVERSION DEVICE - A processing method for identifying data by an audio conversion device includes: connecting the audio conversion device to a first terminal; sending an identification code stored in the audio conversion device to the first terminal, and sending the identification code to a server via the first terminal, wherein the identification code is used to identify the audio conversion device; obtaining user data; uploading the user data to the server, such that the server stores a correspondence between the identification code and the user data; connecting the audio conversion device to a second terminal; sending the identification code stored in the audio conversion device to the second terminal; sending a data obtaining request containing the identification code to the server; and receiving the user data sent corresponding to the identification code in response to the data obtaining request, or receiving multimedia data matching multimedia using feature information in the user data. | 2016-06-09 |
| 20160163323 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING AN AUDIO SIGNAL USING A COMBINATION IN AN OVERLAP RANGE - An apparatus for processing an audio signal including a sequence of blocks of spectral values includes: a processor for processing the sequence of blocks using at least one modification values for a first block to obtain aliasing-reduced or aliasing-free first result signal in an overlap range and using at least one second different modification value for a second block of the sequence of blocks to obtain an aliasing-reduced or aliasing-free second result signal in the overlap range; and a combiner for combining the first result signal and the second result signal in the overlap range to obtain a processed signal for the overlap range. | 2016-06-09 |
