Event-Driven Audio Rendering System for Dynamic Sound Fields
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing content production environments provide a fixed sound field for visual content, resulting in a low sense of immersion for users.
Innovation Solution
A computer system that receives an event list, an audio list with matching audio rendering information for each event, and current event state information, and outputs current audio content based on the matching audio rendering information for the current event.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a fixed sound field is provided for visual content, then audio content can be easily produced and distributed, but user immersion in the visual content is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from a fixed sound field to a dynamic audio rendering system that adapts to different visual content types. The audio rendering information changes based on the current event state, allowing the sound field to dynamically adjust and match the visual content being displayed, thereby improving user immersion while maintaining ease of production through automated matching.
2Adaptability or versatility
If audio rendering information is customized for each event, then user immersion is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring the current event state and using this information to select appropriate audio rendering information. The system receives event state information, processes it to determine the current event, and feedback-adjusts the audio rendering accordingly. This automated feedback loop enables personalized audio experience without requiring manual configuration, thus managing system complexity while improving adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that mediates between the visual content events and the audio rendering output. This intermediary component processes event state information, matches it with appropriate audio rendering information, and generates the final audio output. By introducing this intermediary layer, the system manages complexity through centralized processing while achieving customized audio rendering for each event.
