Abstract:
To reduce the driving loss in the diaphragm, and to ensure a good sound output in the wide bandwidth. It includes a circular coil bobbin at least partly disposed between a yoke and a magnet, a coil wound around the coil bobbin, the coil being configured to be moved with the coil bobbin where a driving current is supplied to the coil, a piezoelectric element having one end coupled to one end of the coil bobbin in a movement direction, the piezoelectric element being configured to be expanded and contracted and moved in a direction same as the movement direction where an electric current is supplied to the piezoelectric element, and a diaphragm having an inner circumference part coupled to another end of the piezoelectric element, and a coupled part of the diaphragm to the piezoelectric element and a coupled part of the piezoelectric element to the coil bobbin are positioned on a straight line in the movement direction.
Abstract:
Various aspects of a system and method to process traffic sound data to provide in-vehicle driver assistance are disclosed herein. The system includes one or more circuits in an electronic control unit (ECU) of a first vehicle. The one or more circuits in the ECU are configured to receive sound data captured by two or more audio-input devices associated with the first vehicle. The sound data corresponds to sound emanated from one or more other vehicles. Thereafter, a relative position (distance and/or angle) of the first vehicle from a second vehicle of the one or more other vehicles is determined based on the received sound data. Further, an in-vehicle alert is generated for the first vehicle based on the determined relative position. The in-vehicle alert comprises a virtual sound representative of sound emanated from the second vehicle.
Abstract:
Provided is a signal processing apparatus including a feature detection unit configured to detect, from an input signal, a detection signal including at least one of audience-generated-sound likelihood and music likelihood, and a vicinity-sound generation unit configured to generate vicinity sound based on the detection signal.
Abstract:
An electronic apparatus and method for configuration of an audio reproduction system is provided. The electronic apparatus captures a set of stereo images of the listening environment and identifies a plurality of objects, including a display device and a plurality of audio devices, in the set of stereo images. The electronic apparatus estimates first location information of the plurality of audio devices and second location information of the display device. Based on first location information and the second location information, the electronic apparatus identifies a layout of the plurality of audio devices. The electronic apparatus receives an audio signal from each audio device and determines a distance between each audio device of the plurality of audio devices and a user location based on the received audio signal. The electronic apparatus determines an anomaly in connection of at least one audio device and generates connection information based on the determined anomaly.
Abstract:
[Object] To provide an information processing device capable of establishing a sound statistic database with high usability. [Solution] The information processing device includes: a feature amount extraction unit configured to extract a feature amount from sounds in a predetermined space; an identification unit configured to identify a type of a sound included in the sounds from the feature amount; an information combining unit configured to generate sound statistic information in which the feature amount, the type of the sound, and spatiotemporal information of the predetermined space at a time of acquisition of the sound are associated with each other; and a database establishing unit configured to establish a sound statistic database by using the sound statistic information.
