System, Method And Software For Detecting Signals Generated By One Or More Sensors And Translating Those Signals Into Auditory, Visual Or Kinesthetic Expression

View page
US Patent:
20080250914, Oct 16, 2008
Filed:
Apr 13, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/786881
Inventors:
Julia Christine Reinhart - Brooklyn NY, US
Jane Agatha Rigler - Brooklyn NY, US
Zachary Nathan Seldess - Brooklyn NY, US
International Classification:
G10H 7/00
US Classification:
84645
Abstract:
The present invention comprises an interactive system controlled by modifiable responsive sensors in which players can control auditory, visual and/or kinesthetic expression in real-time. As an auditory example of this system, one or more users can interact with accelerometers to trigger a variety of computer-generated sounds, MIDI instruments and/or pre-recorded sound files and combinations thereof. Sensor sensitivity is modifiable for each user so that even very small movements can control a sound. The system is flexible, permitting a user to act alone or with others, simultaneously, each user using one or more sensors, and each sensor controlling a separate sound. The sensors control elements of music: starting, stopping, generating higher and/or lower pitches, rhythmic complexity, looping patterns, restarting looping patterns, etc. This system allows users to record sounds for playback, to use pre-existing soundfiles, as well as to add unique soundfiles into the system.

Spectrally Orthogonal Audio Component Processing

View page
US Patent:
20220408188, Dec 22, 2022
Filed:
Aug 17, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/890213
Inventors:
- Encinitas CA, US
Zachary Seldess - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
H04R 3/14
H04R 3/04
H04S 7/00
H04R 5/04
G06N 20/00
G06F 17/14
G10L 19/02
Abstract:
A system processes an audio signal using spectrally orthogonal sound components. The system includes a circuitry that generates a mid component and a side component from a left channel and a right channel of the audio signal. The circuitry generates a hyper mid component including spectral energy of the side component removed from spectral energy of the mid component. The circuitry filters the hyper mid component, such as to provide spatial cue processing including panning or binaural processing, dynamic range processing, or other types of processing. The circuitry generates a left output channel and a right output channel using the filtered hyper mid component.

Colorless Generation Of Elevation Perceptual Cues Using All-Pass Filter Networks

View page
US Patent:
20230022072, Jan 26, 2023
Filed:
Jul 7, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/859791
Inventors:
- Encinitas CA, US
Zachary Seldess - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
G10L 19/008
G10L 19/26
G10L 19/16
Abstract:
A system includes one or more computing devices that encode spatial perceptual cues into a monaural channel to generate a plurality of output channels. A computing device determines a target amplitude response for the mid and side channels of the plurality of output channels, defining a spatial perceptual associated with one or more frequency-dependent phase shifts. The computing device determines a transfer function of a single-input, multi-output allpass filter based on the target amplitude response and determines coefficients of the allpass filter based on the transfer function, and processes the monaural channel with the coefficients of the allpass filter to generate the plurality of channels having the encoded spatial perceptual cues. The allpass filter is configured to be colorless with respect to the individual output channels, allowing for the placement of spatial cues into the audio stream to be decoupled from the overall coloration of the audio.

Subband Spatial And Crosstalk Processing Using Spectrally Orthogonal Audio Components

US Patent:
20210112340, Apr 15, 2021
Filed:
Aug 3, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/983827
Inventors:
- Encinitas CA, US
Zachary Seldess - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
H04R 3/14
H04R 3/04
H04R 5/04
H04S 7/00
Abstract:
A system processes an audio signal using spectrally orthogonal sound components. The system includes a circuitry that generates a mid component and a side component from a left channel and a right channel of the audio signal. The circuitry generates a hyper mid component including spectral energy of the side component removed from spectral energy of the mid component, and generate a residual mid component including spectral energy of the hyper mid component removed from the spectral energy of the mid component. The circuitry filters subbands of the residual mid component, such as to apply a subband spatial processing. The circuitry generates a left output channel and a right output channel using the filtered subbands of the residual mid component.

Multi-Channel Crosstalk Processing

View page
US Patent:
20210112365, Apr 15, 2021
Filed:
Oct 9, 2020
Appl. No.:
17/067520
Inventors:
- Encinitas CA, US
Zachary Seldess - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
H04S 7/00
H04S 3/00
H04R 3/04
H04R 5/02
H04R 5/04
H04R 3/12
Abstract:
An audio system processes a multi-channel input audio signal into a stereo signal for left and right speakers, while preserving the spatial sense of the sound field of the input audio signal. The multi-channel input audio signal includes a first left-right channel pair including a left input channel and a right input channel, and a second left-right channel pair including a left peripheral input channel and a right peripheral input channel. Subband spatial processing may be applied to the first and second left-right channel pairs. A first crosstalk processing is applied to the first left-right channel pair to generate first crosstalk processed channels. A second crosstalk processing is applied to the second left-right channel pair to generate second crosstalk processed channels. A left output channel and a right output channel are generated from the first and second crosstalk processed channels. The crosstalk processing may include crosstalk cancellation or crosstalk simulation.

Spatially Aware Multiband Compression System With Priority

View page
US Patent:
20200294519, Sep 17, 2020
Filed:
Mar 5, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/810608
Inventors:
- Encinitas CA, US
Zachary Seldess - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
G10L 19/083
G10L 19/26
G10L 19/008
Abstract:
An audio signal is compressed in an audio coordinate system using gain factors applied in another audio coordinate system. A first component and a second component in a first audio coordinate system is generated from a third component and a fourth component of the audio signal in a second audio coordinate system. An amplitude threshold defining a level for each of the third component and the fourth component for applying compression is determined. A gain factor for the first component is generated using a compression ratio. The gain factor is applied to the first component when one of the third component or the fourth component exceeds the amplitude threshold to generate an adjusted first component. A first output channel and a second output channel in the second audio coordinate system is generated using the adjusted first component and the second component in the first audio coordinate system.

Subband Spatial Processing And Crosstalk Cancellation System For Conferencing

View page
US Patent:
20200275208, Aug 27, 2020
Filed:
Apr 23, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/856373
Inventors:
- Encinitas CA, US
Zachary Seldess - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
H04R 3/12
H04S 7/00
H04R 3/04
H04R 5/02
H04N 7/15
H04R 5/04
Abstract:
Embodiments relate to providing a conference for client devices with spatialized audio. Input audio streams are received from the client devices. For each client device, placement data defining spatial locations of other client devices within a sound field is determined. A mixed stream including a left mixed channel and a right mixed channel for the client device is generated by mixing and panning input audio streams of the other client devices according to the placement data. A spatially enhanced stream including a left enhanced channel for a left speaker and a right enhanced channel for a right speaker is generated by applying subband spatial processing and crosstalk processing on the left mixed channel and the right mixed channel of the mixed stream.
