A computer system for creating a custom-made, on-site presence that involves auditory sound and its mechanisms.

Abstract

A computer-based system is used to generate audio files through the auditory system. This depends on the corresponding auditory signal from which the auditory signal is generated. In a sequence, multiple objects within a location generate metadata containing spatial characteristics. In a location where the order is defined for objects, and the transmission of audio files via audio and metadata. For an object to be transferred to a first electronic device in order to cause the first electronic device to produce... The actual presence or presence in a given location is achieved by playing or displaying audio files through the auditory system, depending on the spatial characteristics. In metadata.

Claims

1. The computer-based method, where the method comprises: generation of audio files based on corresponding audio signals, where audio signals are sequentially generated from multiple objects in a given space; generation of metadata, including spatial characteristics of the space, which are sequentially defined for the objects; and transmission of the audio files and metadata for the objects to a first electronic device, enabling that first electronic device to create a physical presence at that location by playing the audio files based on the spatial characteristics in the metadata.

2. The method of claim 1, where the generation of audio files comprises: reception of audio signals via microphones attached to or mounted adjacent to each object; and generation of audio files from the sequential audio signals. 3.Claim 1's methodology dictates that metadata generation includes: output of a graphical interface; spatial characterization of objects sequentially based on at least one input via the graphical interface; and metadata generation based on spatial characteristics.

4. Claim 1's methodology dictates that metadata includes at least one of the following: location information about individual objects; group information representing a locational combination between at least two objects among all objects; and environmental information about the location.

5. Claim 1's methodology dictates that each object includes one of the following: musical instruments, instrumentalists, singers, speakers, speakers, and backgrounds.

6. Claim 1's methodology dictates that audio file generation and metadata generation are performed using a generation tool integrated into a second electronic device integrated into the computer system, and metadata generation generates metadata in a format selectable by the electronic device. 7.The method of claim 6, whereby the transmission of audio files and metadata involves: the use of a server to receive audio files and metadata from a second electronic device incorporated into the computer system based on the first communication protocol; and the use of a server to transmit audio files and metadata to the first electronic device based on the second communication protocol.

8. The method of claim 7, whereby the server is a live server.

9. The method of claim 1, whereby the transmission causes the first electronic device to be configured in such a way that its physical presence at the site is achieved by receiving the audio files and metadata, extracting the required information from the metadata, and playing the audio files based on the required information and at least one input through a user interface. 10.The method of claim 9, by which transmission causes the first electronic device to extract the required information, including the first and second data, and to perform a substitution from the first to the second data in a manner that minimizes or reduces distortion of sound quality by referring to a table of values, including an index of distortion of sound quality that occurs in relation to the substitution from the first to the second data over time.

11. A non-temporarily readable computer media stores a program which, when executed by one or more processors included in a computer system, causes the computer system to execute the method of claim 1. 12.A computer system comprising: a first electronic device integrated into the computer system and configured to generate audio files based on corresponding audio signals, where audio signals are sequentially generated from multiple objects in a location, and to generate metadata, including spatial characteristics of the location, which are sequentially defined for the objects; and a server configured to transmit the audio files and metadata for the objects to a second electronic device, enabling the second electronic device to create a physical presence in that location by playing the audio files based on the spatial characteristics in the metadata.

13. The computer system of claim 12, where the first electronic device is configured to receive audio signals via microphones attached to each object or mounted adjacent to each object and to generate audio files from the sequential audio signals. 14.

15. The computer system of claim 12 whereby the first electronic device is configured to output a graphic interface to characterize the spatial characteristics of objects sequentially based on at least one input via the graphic interface and generate metadata based on spatial characteristics.

16. The computer system of claim 12 whereby the metadata includes at least one of the following: positional information about each individual object, group information representing a positional combination between at least two objects among the objects, and environmental information about the location.

17. The computer system of claim 12 whereby each object includes one of the following: musical instrument, instrumentalist, singer, speaker, speaker, and background.

18. The computer system of claim 12 whereby the first electronic device includes a production instrument and is configured to generate audio files via audio and metadata using the production instrument and generate metadata in a format chosen by the first electronic device.

19. The computer system in Claim 12, where the server is configured to receive audio files and metadata from a first electronic device based on the first communication protocol and transmit the audio files and metadata to a second electronic device based on the second communication protocol.

20. The computer system in Claim 12, where the server is configured to transmit audio files and metadata for an object to a second electronic device to enable the second electronic device to become physically present at that object by receiving the audio files and metadata, extracting the required information from the metadata, and playing the audio files based on the required information and at least one input through a user interface.The computer system of claim19, whereby the server is configured to transmit audio files and metadata for the object to a second electronic device, is configured to extract the required information, including the first and second data, and perform a substitution from the first to the second data at a point where the audio quality distortion is minimized or reduced by reference to a lookup table which includes an index of the audio quality distortion that occurs in association with the substitution from the first to the second data over time;
