  • Controlling reproduction of audio data
    Patent number: 8369537
    Abstract: For controlling the acoustic reproduction of audio data containing audio elements that are periodically repeated, movement data regarding a movement process is detected. The movement process contains recurring events. Reproduction of the audio data is controlled using the movement data in such a way that at least within a certain period, one out of n audio elements that are periodically repeated is reproduced in synchrony with the moment one of the recurring events occurs (synchronization) or is reproduced temporally offset by a given amount of time from the moment one of the recurring events occurs (offset synchronization). The value n represents a positive integer.
