    摘要: A vibration generating apparatus may include: a microphone apparatus disposed at an object including a plurality of regions, the microphone apparatus being configured to receive noise near the object; a sound processing circuit configured to receive a sound source signal and a noise signal corresponding to the noise, generate a noise removal signal having an antiphase of the noise signal, and generate a vibration driving signal based on the sound source signal and the noise removal signal; and a vibration apparatus disposed at the object to vibrate based on the vibration driving signal to vibrate the object. The noise may be offset and removed by a vibration of the vibration apparatus generated based on the noise removal signal, and a sound source generated by a vibration of the vibration apparatus based on the sound source signal may be received by a user through bone conduction.

    摘要: A method for providing audio in a vehicle includes: providing a plurality of audio channels comprising a first audio channel and a second audio channel; processing, by an audio signal processing system, each audio channel of said plurality of audio channels to establish a principal signal and an accommodating signal for each audio channel of said plurality of audio channels; supplying said principal signal of said first audio channel to a forward loudspeaker of a loudspeaker pair and supplying said accommodating signal of said first audio channel to a backward loudspeaker of the loudspeaker pair to generate a forward directional radiation pattern based on said first audio channel; supplying said principal signal of said second audio channel to said backward loudspeaker of said loudspeaker pair and supplying said accommodating signal of said second audio channel to said forward loudspeaker of said loudspeaker pair to generate a backward directional radiation pattern based on said second audio channel; and guiding one or both of said forward directional radiation pattern and said backward directional radiation pattern to one or more locations in said vehicle.
