摘要: A personalized HRTF is generated from a generic HRTF by having a person don headphones, then select a generic HRTF model from a list. Test signals emulating sounds from a source at a specific virtual speaker location are played on the headphones, and the person indicates where he thinks the emulated sounds are coming from. Any difference between the virtual speaker location and the “heard” location is used to adjust the parameters (amplitude, phase, and frequency response) of the generic HRTF to render a HRTF personalized to the listening person.

摘要: An audio video device (AVD) is activated post-sale using an unlock code issued during the purchase. The buyer connects to his home network and enters the unlock code issued in the store at the point of sale. Then a server associated with the seller can complete the transaction and unlock the AVD for full functionality. In the event the AVD is reported stolen before activation, it can be blocked from use. When in the reduced functionality mode” the AVD can remain in demonstration mode or other reduced functionality state (e.g., only works with HDMI1).

摘要: Concentric rings of speakers in a room are activated in sequence to emit test sounds that are picked up by microphones placed in the ears of a listener in the middle of the room. The output of the microphones is used to generate plural HRTF spheres that are concentric, and that can be convolved with each other to render a multi-distance HRTF filter that can be configured to “move” the perceived distance and bearing of audio objects “inside” the outer sphere as desired, without being restricted to placing the audio objects at the outer edges of a single sphere. Any desired placement of an audio object between spheres is done by interpolating between respective coefficients of the closest spheres.

摘要: Left and right ear HRTF coefficients are determined for an end user, one each for each of a plurality of head orientations, and provided to the end user on a portable recording medium, or via the Internet, etc. The user can then implement the files on audio played on the user's headphones, with the file corresponding to the user's head orientation being selected as the user moves his head to ensure the sound as perceived by the user remains emanating from a fixed external location. The user's personal HRTF may be generated using panoramic images of the ears, such as multiple 2D images or 3D imaging.

The user's personal HRTF may be cascaded with the HRTF of a user-designated location, such as a famous theater, to model the sound as though it were being played in the theater.

摘要: A networked speaker system communicates using Li-Fi. The LEDs implementing the Li-Fi may also have modes in which they are used to map the walls of a room in which the speakers are located, detect the locations of speakers in the room, and detect and classify listeners in the room. Based on this, waveform analysis may be applied to input audio to establish equalization and delays that are optimal for the room geometry, speaker locations, and listener locations.

摘要: A centralized master device receives audio, down-mixes the audio to stereo if it is not already in stereo, and then up-mixes (renders) the stereo into as many channels as there speakers in the network. The up-mixing can be based on the number and locations of the speakers, which may be determined automatically using a real time location system such as ultra wide band (UWB) location determination techniques. The master device sends each speaker its respective channel.

摘要: A technique includes establishing communication over a network link between first and second digital video recorders (DVRs). The network link includes one or more of: an Internet link, a two way multiple systems operator (MSO) link between a computer system of an MSO and a DVR. Responsive to at least one transfer command, content is transferred from the first DVR to the second DVR over the network link.

摘要: A technique to backup data on a DVR includes receiving a transfer command, and responsive to the transfer command, backing up content on a first storage of an in-home digital video recorder (DVR) to a second storage configured as a redundant array of independent disks (RAID)-1. The transfer is over a direct communication path between the first and second storages.

摘要: Mesh node modules are associated with vehicles and companion nodes can dynamically form a mesh network which uploads location information of the nodes and in some cases additional information, e.g., road condition or proximity to objects.
