Patent application number | Description | Published |
20120284619 | Apparatus - An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform providing a visual representation of at least one audio parameter associated with at least one audio signal, detecting via an interface an interaction with the visual representation of the audio parameter, and processing the at least one audio signal associated with the audio parameter dependent on the interaction. | 11-08-2012 |
20130332837 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SOUND MANAGEMENT - Systems and techniques for location based sound management. Information associated with a display is defined or selected based on user inputs and sounds associated with responsive locations of the display. Defining of the information associated with the display may be based at least in part on user touches to a touch screen display. Parameters for playback are also selected, such as a number of audio channels, based on user inputs that may similarly comprise user touches to the touch screen display. Playback parameters may be changed during playback based on user inputs occurring during playback. | 12-12-2013 |
20140029767 | Downmixing Control - An apparatus including an audio mixer configured to mix at least two audio channels of an audio signal; and a sensor configured to sense motion and/or orientation of the apparatus. The audio mixer is configured to change mixing of the at least two audio channels based, at least partially, on an output from the sensor regarding the sensed motion and/or orientation of the apparatus. | 01-30-2014 |
20140129937 | METHODS, APPARATUSES AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR MANIPULATING CHARACTERISTICS OF AUDIO OBJECTS BY USING DIRECTIONAL GESTURES - An apparatus for enabling manipulation of one or more audio objects may include a processor and memory storing executable computer program code that cause the apparatus to at least perform operations including detecting at least one audio object and operating a pointer in a selected direction by a user. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to detect a gesture of the pointer in response to the operating of the pointer in the selected direction. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to control at least one characteristic of the detected audio object in response to the detected gesture of the pointer or an indication of a selection of the at least one characteristic. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided. | 05-08-2014 |
20140337742 | METHOD, AN APPARATUS AND A COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR DETERMINATION OF AN AUDIO TRACK - An audio processing apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprising an audio analysis unit configured to obtain a group of audio signals, each audio signal associated with an image of a group of images, the group of images being provided for a presentation having an assigned overall viewing time with each image having an assigned viewing time, and to analyze at least one of the audio signals to determine one or more intermediate audio signals for determination of an audio track having a first duration, which first duration essentially covers said assigned overall viewing time. The apparatus further comprises an audio track determination unit configured to compose the audio track having said first duration on basis of said one or more intermediate audio signals. The apparatus may further comprise a classification unit configured to obtain a plurality of audio signals, each audio signal associated with an image of a plurality of images, to obtain a plurality of location indicators, each location indicator associated with an image of the plurality of images, and to determine the group of images as a subset of the plurality of images such that the group comprises images having location indicator referring to a first location associated therewith. | 11-13-2014 |
20150033123 | AUDIO-VISUAL INTERFACE FOR APPARATUS - An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code is configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform: associating at least one user interface visual display element and at least one user interface audio display element with a data representation; determining a user interface position for the data representation determining whether the user interface position for the data representation is within a visual display region; outputting the at least one visual display element when the user interface position is within the visual display region; and outputting the at least one audio display element with the user interface position wherein the outputting of at least one audio display element is generated based on the user interface position relative to the visual display region. | 01-29-2015 |
20150039302 | SPATIAL AUDIO SIGNALING FILTERING - An apparatus comprising: an analyser configured to analyse at least one input to determine one or more expression within the at least one input; and a controller configured to control at least one audio signal associated with the at least one input dependent on the determination of the one or more expression. | 02-05-2015 |
20150098571 | AUDIO SCENE APPARATUS - An apparatus comprising: a first audio signal analyser configured to analyse a first audio signal to determine at least one audio source, wherein the at least one audio source has a virtual location; a second audio signal analyser configured to analyse a second audio signal to determine at least one localised audio source, wherein the second audio signal is generated from the apparatus audio environment; and a repositioner configured to reposition the virtual location of the at least one audio source dependent on the at least one localised audio source. | 04-09-2015 |
