摘要:
A user selects a plurality of pieces of music data desired to be reproduced concurrently, at an input unit of an audio processing apparatus, from music data stored in a storage device. A reproducing apparatus reproduces selected music data respectively and generates a plurality of audio signals under the control of a control unit. An audio processing unit performs allocation of frequency band, extraction of a frequency component, time-division, periodic modulation, processing and allocation of a sound image, to respective audio signals under the control of the control unit. Then the audio processing unit attaches segregation information of audio signals and information on the degree of emphasis to respective audio signals. The down mixer mixes a plurality of audio signals and outputs as an audio signal having a predetermined number of channels, then an output unit outputs the signal as sounds.

A music editing apparatus that can accomplish editing of superimposing or connecting whole or part of each of many songs such that their beats adjusted is provided. The music editing apparatus includes a remix processing section which performs a remix process based on both meta data that are pre-generated corresponding to song data and that contain at least a time-based beat position and a file for deciding a remix pattern; a synchronizing reproduction controlling section which generates a master beat, sends the master beat to the remix processing section, and reproduces a plurality of songs based on individual entries of the meta data according to the remix process that the remix processing section has designated corresponding to the remix pattern and the meta data; and a mixing section which mixes songs reproduced by the synchronizing reproduction controlling section. The remix processing section performs the remix process based on a remix pattern file structured as hierarchical layers each of which has a control parameter portion and a data entity portion.

Upon receiving a digital audio signal recorded in a .wav file, a beat extraction processing unit 12 extracts coarse beat position information from this digital audio signal and outputs the result as metadata recorded in an .mty file. In addition, a beat alignment processing unit 13 aligns beat information of the metadata recorded in the .mty file and outputs the result as metadata recorded in a .may file. Beats of a rhythm of music are extracted highly accurately while reproducing a music signal of a musical tune.

In a music selection mode, a reproduction object deciding unit in an audio reproducing apparatus selects a plurality of pieces of candidate music from music data stored in a storage unit and has a reproducing unit reproduce them simultaneously. An assigned position deciding unit controls an audio processing unit in such a manner as to assign the sound images of the pieces of candidate music respectively to different positions. An input by which one unit of sound is selected from among a plurality of sounds that a user hears from the different positions is entered to an input unit. Then the reproduction object deciding unit determines that music data corresponding to the sound has been selected. This causes a changeover to a normal mode and the selected music data only is reproduced.

A player device uses playlists having names of contents. Users can update the playlists via network. The player device includes a storage device for storing digital data of the contents, a reception/reception circuit for downloading playlists, a display for displaying the titles of contents included in the playlists, a pointing device for specifying displayed titles, a circuit for retrieving digital data from the storage device in the event that digital data of a content specified by the pointing device is stored within the storage device, and an output circuit for outputting the retrieved digital data.

A content using apparatus includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain content data and delimiter information for the content data; an accepting unit configured to accept input of an instruction by a user; and a generating unit configured to generate content data of a new composition or arrangement from content data subject to processing, on the basis of the delimiter information obtained by the obtaining unit and the instruction accepted by the accepting unit.
摘要:
An audio/visual (AV) content providing system is disclosed. The AV content providing system provides AV contents to audiences who exist in a closed space. The AV content providing system has an audio information obtainment section, an AV content database, an attribute index, a selection section. The audience information obtainment section obtains information that represents audiences who exist in the closed space and information that represents the relationships of the audiences. The AV content database contains one or a plurality of AV contents. The attribute index is correlated with an AV content contained in the AV content database and that describes attributes of the AV content. The selection section collates the information that represents the audiences and the information that represents the relationships of the audiences, and the attribute index and selects an AV content that is provided to the audiences from the AV content database according to the collated result.
