    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and a media system of/for generation of at least one output signal (HPL, (HPR) from at least one input signal from a second set of sound signals (M) having a related second set of Head Related Transfer Functions. The media system can be a TV, a CD player, a DVD player, a Radio, a display, an amplifier, a headphone or a VCR. Said method includes the steps of determining, for each signal in the second set of sound signals, a weighted relation (14) comprising at least one signal from a third set of intermediate sound signals (CHI1, CHI2) and at least one weight value (Weights); determining a first set of Head Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) based on the second set of sound signals, the second set of Head Related Transfer Functions and the weighted relation; and transferring at least one signal from the third set of intermediate sound signals by means of at least one HRTF from said first set of Head Related Transfer Functions in order to generate at least one output signal belonging to said first set of sound signals. Hereby, in the end, fewer HRTFs are determined for a subsequent transfer of input signal(s) to output signal(s). Accordingly few convolutions are required.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for a service provider to distribute an audio signal to a listener. Before delivering the audio signal to the listener, the audio impression of the audio signal is personalized to the listener. The personalizing could e.g. be performed by filtering the audio signal using a set of head related transfer functions (HRTFs) defined by parameters being specific for the listener. This is for minimizing the interest of performing illegal copying of the audio signal. The invention further relates to a method of playing back a distributed audio signal and a playback device for playing back a distributed audio signal, where the personalization is detected and used as a watermark, which is identified and interpreted before playing back the distributed audio.

    摘要: To improve the reproduction of audio signals, the signal components of a selected audio frequency range (1) of an audio signal are concentrated in a narrower audio frequency range (II). This is achieved by detecting first signal components in the first audio frequency range (I), generating second signal components in the second audio frequency range (II), and controlling the amplitude of the second signal components in response to the amplitude of the first signal components. As a result, dedicated transducers may be used which are particularly efficient in the narrower frequency range. The original frequency range (I) may contain the lower frequency signal components (bass components) of the audio signal.
