  • UTILIZING INAUDIBLE ULTRASONIC FREQUENCIES TO EMBED ADDITIONAL AUDIO ASSET CHANNELS WITHIN EXISTING AUDIO CHANNELS
    Publication number: 20240161759
    Abstract: Computer game transmitters can shift frequencies of game assets such as audio or haptic assets to the ultrasonic range and then mix the assets with game audio, transmitting the mix. Receivers then separate the audio from the audible band to play the audio and downmix the assets for play thereof. The frequencies of the assets can be companded prior to transmission.

  • HAPTIC ASSET GENERATION FOR ECCENTRIC ROTATING MASS (ERM) FROM LOW FREQUENCY AUDIO CONTENT
    Publication number: 20240115937
    Abstract: Computer game developers can implicitly create haptic assets from audio assets. A low pass filter passes only audio assets with frequencies less than a threshold to a mapping module. The audio assets are then mapped to haptic assets that can be output by an ERM of a computer game controller. The haptic output can be in synchronization with play of the audio assets on speakers.
