Mixing Techniques For Mixing Audio

View page
US Patent:
8041057, Oct 18, 2011
Filed:
Jun 7, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/449454
Inventors:
Pei Xiang - San Diego CA, US
Eddie L. T. Choy - Carlsbad CA, US
Prajakt V. Kulkarni - San Diego CA, US
Samir Kumar Gupta - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA
International Classification:
H04B 1/00
US Classification:
381119, 381104, 381107, 381 1, 4555692
Abstract:
This disclosure describes audio mixing techniques that intelligently combine two or more audio signals into an output signal. The techniques allow audio to be combined, yet create perceptual differentiation between the different audio signals. The result is that a user is able to hear both audio signals in a combined output, but the different audio signals do not perceptually interfere with one another. The techniques are relatively simple to implement and are well suited for radio telephones.

Data Searching Using Spatial Auditory Cues

View page
US Patent:
8417703, Apr 9, 2013
Filed:
Oct 15, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/905340
Inventors:
Pei Xiang - San Diego CA, US
Manish Mahajan - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA
International Classification:
G06F 3/16
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
707736, 707916, 715727
Abstract:
Spatial auditory cues are produced while a user searches a database for stored information. The spatial auditory cues assist the user in quickly locating stored information by producing sounds that are perceived at specific physical locations in space around the user as the search proceeds. Each location may be associated with different information. Thus, using the techniques disclosed herein, a user can more easily recall stored information by remembering the locations of sound produced by particular spatial auditory cues. The spatial auditory cues may be used in conjunction with a visual search interface. A method of producing auditory cues includes receiving a search action at a user interface included in a device, translating the search action into a spatial auditory cue corresponding to a specific location within a space, and rendering the spatial auditory cue as an audio output signal.

Methods And Apparatus For Providing An Interface To A Processing Engine That Utilizes Intelligent Audio Mixing Techniques

View page
US Patent:
8515106, Aug 20, 2013
Filed:
Nov 28, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/946319
Inventors:
Pei Xiang - San Diego CA, US
Samir Kumar Gupta - San Diego CA, US
Eddie L. T. Choy - Carlsbad CA, US
Prajakt V. Kulkarni - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA
International Classification:
H04R 5/00
H04R 5/02
US Classification:
381310, 381 17, 381306
Abstract:
A method for providing an interface to a processing engine that utilizes intelligent audio mixing techniques may include receiving a request to change a perceptual location of an audio source within an audio mixture from a current perceptual location relative to a listener to a new perceptual location relative to the listener. The audio mixture may include at least two audio sources. The method may also include generating one or more control signals that are configured to cause the processing engine to change the perceptual location of the audio source from the current perceptual location to the new perceptual location via separate foreground processing and background processing. The method may also include providing the one or more control signals to the processing engine.

Automatic Volume And Dynamic Range Adjustment For Mobile Audio Devices

View page
US Patent:
20080269926, Oct 30, 2008
Filed:
Apr 30, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/742476
Inventors:
Pei Xiang - San Diego CA, US
Song Wang - San Diego CA, US
Prajakt V. Kulkarni - San Diego CA, US
Samir Kumar Gupta - San Diego CA, US
Eddie L.T. Choy - Carlsbad CA, US
International Classification:
H04S 7/00
US Classification:
700 94, 381 942
Abstract:
A mobile audio device (for example, a cellular telephone, personal digital audio player, or MP3 player) performs Audio Dynamic Range Control (ADRC) and Automatic Volume Control (AVC) to increase the volume of sound emitted from a speaker of the mobile audio device so that faint passages of the audio will be more audible. This amplification of faint passages occurs without overly amplifying other louder passages, and without substantial distortion due to clipping. Multi-Microphone Active Noise Cancellation (MMANC) functionality is, for example, used to remove background noise from audio information picked up on microphones of the mobile audio device. The noise-canceled audio may then be communicated from the device. The MMANC functionality generates a noise reference signal as an intermediate signal. The intermediate signal is conditioned and then used as a reference by the AVC process. The gain applied during the AVC process is a function of the noise reference signal.

Crosstalk Cancellation For Closely Spaced Speakers

View page
US Patent:
20090086982, Apr 2, 2009
Filed:
Sep 28, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/864552
Inventors:
Prajakt V. Kulkarni - San Diego CA, US
Pei Xiang - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
QUALCOMM INCORPORATED - San Diego CA
International Classification:
H04R 5/00
US Classification:
381 1
Abstract:
A technique for canceling acoustic crosstalk is provided including a pre-processing filter and a crosstalk cancellation device. The pre-processing filter may be configured to obtain first and second channel signals and compensate or adjust the first and/or second channel signals for anticipated subsequent stage distortion by the crosstalk cancellation device. The crosstalk cancellation device maybe configured to receive the compensated first and second channel signals from the pre-processing filter. The crosstalk cancellation device then modifies the first channel signal to cancel anticipated acoustic crosstalk from the second channel signal, and modifies the second channel signal to cancel acoustic crosstalk from the first channel signal. The modified first channel signal is then transmitted over a first speaker and the modified second channel signal is transmitted over a second speaker. The first and second speakers may be closely spaced, yet provide a widened stereo image of the first and second channel signals.

Methods And Apparatus For Providing A Distinct Perceptual Location For An Audio Source Within An Audio Mixture

View page
US Patent:
20090136044, May 28, 2009
Filed:
Nov 28, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/946365
Inventors:
Pei Xiang - San Diego CA, US
Samir Kumar Gupta - San Diego CA, US
Eddie L. T. Choy - Carlsbad CA, US
Prajakt V. Kulkarni - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
QUALCOMM INCORPORATED - San Diego CA
International Classification:
H04H 20/00
US Classification:
381 2
Abstract:
In accordance with a method for providing a distinct perceptual location for an audio source within an audio mixture, a foreground signal may be processed to provide a foreground perceptual angle for the foreground signal. The foreground signal may also be processed to provide a desired attenuation level for the foreground signal. A background signal may be processed to provide a background perceptual angle for the background signal. The background signal may also be processed to provide a desired attenuation level for the background signal. The foreground signal and the background signal may be combined into an output audio source.

M-S Stereo Reproduction At A Device

View page
US Patent:
20100331048, Dec 30, 2010
Filed:
Dec 2, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/629612
Inventors:
Pei Xiang - San Diego CA, US
Wade L. Heimbigner - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA
International Classification:
H04B 1/38
H04R 5/00
H04M 1/00
US Classification:
455557, 381 1, 4555691
Abstract:
Mid-side (M-S) encoded audio is reproduced by a device that includes a multi-channel digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The DAC has a first channel input receiving a digitized mid audio signal, a first channel output providing an analog mid audio signal, a second channel input receiving a digitized side audio signal and a second channel output providing an analog side audio signal. The DAC may also include a third channel for receiving a digitized second side audio signal. The second side audio signal is phase inverted. The device may be a handheld wireless communication device, such as a cellular phone, and may also include transducers for outputting M-S encoded sound in response to the analog mid and side audio signals.
