Abstract:
In one example, a method includes outputting, by a computing device, media, and performing, by the computing device and prior to output of a first navigation instruction from a plurality of navigation instructions, an adjustment to the outputting of the media. In this example, the method also includes determining, based at least in part on a second navigation instruction from the plurality of navigation instructions, that an interruption condition will be satisfied until after output of the second navigation instruction, and responsive to the determining, maintaining the adjustment to the outputting of the media until after output of the second navigation instruction.
Abstract:
In one example, a technique may include outputting, by a computing device associated with a user and for playback at a first volume level by an audio output device, first audio data, receiving, by the computing device, audio input data, and responsive to determining, by the computing device, that the audio input data includes speech associated with an entity different from the user, determining, by the computing device and based at least in part on the audio input data, whether to output second audio data. The method may also include, responsive to determining to output the second audio data: determining, by the computing device, a second volume level lower than the first volume level, and outputting, by the computing device and for playback at the second volume level by the audio output device, the second audio data.
Abstract:
A decoder for generating an audio output signal comprising one or more audio output channels is provided. The decoder comprises a receiving interface (110) for receiving an audio input signal comprising a plurality of audio object signals, for receiving loudness information on the audio object signals, and for receiving rendering information indicating whether one or more of the audio object signals shall be amplified or attenuated. Moreover, the decoder comprises a signal processor (120) for generating the one or more audio output channels of the audio output signal. The signal processor (120) is configured to determine a loudness compensation value depending on the loudness information and depending on the rendering information. Furthermore, the signal processor (120) is configured to generate the one or more audio output channels of the audio output signal from the audio input signal depending on the rendering information and depending on the loudness compensation value. Moreover, an encoder is provided.
Abstract:
An audio system may include a canalphone housing, and a plurality of low frequency drivers carried by the canalphone housing. The system may also include a plurality of high frequency drivers carried by the canalphone housing, the plurality of high frequency drivers tuned to produce an audio trace in the 10 kilohertz to 22 kilohertz on an audio analyzer.
Abstract:
An adaptive music playback system is disclosed. The system inciudes a composition system that receives information corresponding to user activity levels. The composition system modifies the composition of a song in response to changes in user activity. The modifications are made according to a set of composition rules to facilitate smooth musical transitions.
