| 20080279389 | SOUND FIELD REPRODUCTION APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REPRODUCING REFLECTIONS - Provided are sound field reproducing apparatus and method. The sound field reproducing apparatus includes an input unit for receiving reflection reproducing information, a signal processor for selecting loudspeakers and calculating reflection signal for applying a panning algorithm based on the reflection reproducing information, a signal treatment unit for localizing the calculated reflection signal on a virtual sound image according to the panning algorithm; and a reproducer for reproducing the localized reflection signals through the selected loudspeakers. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090136048 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REPRODUCING SURROUND WAVE FIELD USING WAVE FIELD SYNTHESIS - Provided are an apparatus and a method for reproducing a surround wave field using wave field synthesis. The apparatus includes an audio signal analyzer for analyzing a received multi-channel audio signal to check the number of audio signal channels, and extracting a sound source signal for each checked channel from the multi-channel audio signal; a wave field synthesis renderer for localizing the extracted sound source signal for each channel at a virtual sound image outside a narrow space using wave field synthesis so that the extracted sound source signal is suitable for the number of the checked audio signal channels; and an audio reproducer for reproducing the localized virtual sound source signal. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090147961 | OBJECT-BASED 3-DIMENSIONAL AUDIO SERVICE SYSTEM USING PRESET AUDIO SCENES - Provided are an object-based three dimensional (3-D) audio service system using preset audio scenes and a method thereof. The system and the method are suggested for enabling a user to easily and conveniently watch and listen an object based 3-D audio service by eliminating inconvenience that requires a user to control each of object audio signals of sound sources. The system includes: audio input means for inputting an audio signal; preset audio scene generating means for extracting object audio signals from the audio signal inputted through the audio input means and generating more than one of 3-D audio scene information by arranging the extracted object audio signals in a 3-D space and editing features of each object; and encoding means for encoding and multiplexing the audio signal and the 3-D audio scene information for each object audio signal. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20100076577 | METHOD FOR CREATING, EDITING, AND REPRODUCING MULTI-OBJECT AUDIO CONTENTS FILES FOR OBJECT-BASED AUDIO SERVICE, AND METHOD FOR CREATING AUDIO PRESETS - Provided are a method for creating, editing and reproducing a multi-object audio content file for an object-based audio service and a method for creating audio presets. The multi-object audio content file creating method includes creating a plurality of frames for each audio object forming an audio content; and creating a multi-object audio content file by grouping and storing the frames according to each reproduction time. This invention can enhance functions of the object-based audio service and make it easy to access to each audio object of an audio content file. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20110166681 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING/RECEIVING OBJECT-BASED AUDIO - Provided is a system and method for transmitting/receiving an object-based audio. The system includes: a pre-processing unit for receiving an audio signal from diverse sources of outside and creating an object-based audio signal through a pre-processing procedure; an object-based audio editing unit for editing the object-based audio signal from the pre-processing unit and organizing an audio scene; an object-based audio coding unit for coding/multiplexing information on the object-based audio signal and the audio scene from the object-based audio editing unit and creating object-based audio contents; and a transmitting unit for transmitting the object-based audio contents from the object-based audio coding unit. | 07-07-2011 |
