  • Music playing method and apparatus based on user interaction, and device and storage medium
    Patent number: 11886484
    Abstract: A music playing method and apparatus based on user interaction, a device and a storage medium, which relate to the technical field of music videos. The method includes: capturing a target video through a video capturing apparatus; determining an audio processing mode corresponding to a target action when it is identified in the target video that a target object presents the target action; and playing music according to the audio processing mode. The target video is captured by the video capturing apparatus, and when the target object in the target video is identified to generate the target action, the corresponding audio processing mode is determined based on the target action, and music is played according to the audio processing mode.

  • Methods, apparatus and systems for encoding and decoding of directional sound sources
    Patent number: 11887608
    Abstract: Some disclosed methods involve encoding or decoding directional audio data. Some encoding methods may involve receiving a mono audio signal corresponding to an audio object and a representation of a radiation pattern corresponding to the audio object. The radiation pattern may include sound levels corresponding to plurality of sample times, a plurality of frequency bands and a plurality of directions. The methods may involve encoding the mono audio signal and encoding the source radiation pattern to determine radiation pattern metadata. Encoding the radiation pattern may involve determining a spherical harmonic transform of the representation of the radiation pattern and compressing the spherical harmonic transform to obtain encoded radiation pattern metadata.

  • Method and system for facilitating high-fidelity audio sharing
    Patent number: 11870940
    Abstract: An apparatus and/or method discloses a video conference with enhanced audio quality using high-fidelity audio sharing (“HAS”). In one embodiment, a network connection between a first user equipment (“UE”) and a second UE is established via a communication network for providing an interactive real-time meeting. After sending a first calibration audio signal from the first UE to the second UE, a second calibration audio signal is retuned from the second UE to the first UE according to the first calibration audio signal. Upon identifying a far end audio (“FEA”) delay based on the first calibration audio signal and the second calibration audio signal, a first mixed audio data containing the first shared audio data and first FEA data is fetched from an audio buffer. The first FEA data is subsequently removed or extracted from the mixed audio data in response to the FEA delay.
