Patent number: 10943446Abstract: The present document describes a device and method for synchronizing a motion signal corresponding to a media content with a media signal for the media content, the motion signal being for controlling a motion feedback system. The method comprises: receiving a portion of the media signal; obtaining a fingerprint corresponding to the received portion of the media signal; from reference fingerprints associated with time positions of at least one reference media content, identifying a reference time position of the media content corresponding to the obtained fingerprint; obtaining the motion signal associated with the identified reference time position of the media content; and outputting the motion signal synchronized with the media signal using the identified reference time position of the media content for controlling the motion feedback system.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: D-BOX TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: Jean-Francois Menard, Pierre-Anthony Stivell Lemieux

Patent number: 9197979Abstract: Methods and systems of reproducing object-based audio are disclosed. In some embodiments, vector base amplitude panning (VBAP) is used for playing back an object's audio. Using the positioning of sound reproduction devices and object's location information, rendering can determine which sound reproduction devices are used for playing back the object's audio. For example, a triangle in which the object is positioned at a given time can be identified. The triangle can have sound reproduction devices as vertices, and the object's audio can be rendered on the sound reproduction devices corresponding to the vertices of the triangle. In some embodiments, ambiguities associated with VBAP-based rendering are identified and resolved.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2013Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: DTS LLCInventors: Pierre-Anthony Stivell Lemieux, Roger Wallace Dressler, Jean-Marc Jot
