Publication number: 20240137723Abstract: A method for generating a spatial audio stream, the method including: obtaining at least two audio signals from at least two microphones; extracting from the at least two audio signals a first audio signal, the first audio signal including at least partially speech of a user; extracting from the at least two audio signals a second audio signal, wherein speech of the user is substantially not present within the second audio signal; and encoding the first audio signal and the second audio signal to generate the spatial audio stream such that a rendering of speech of the user to a controllable direction and/or distance is enabled.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Mikko-Ville Laitinen, Juha Tapio Vilkamo, Jussi Kalevi Virolainen

Publication number: 20240048935Abstract: Examples of the disclosure could be implemented in systems where a first device, such as a mobile phone or other processing device, renders audio input signals to provide spatial audio. The spatial audio can then be transmitted to another device, such as a headset or earphones for playback. In such examples the rendering apparatus is configured to receive one or more audio input signals and information indicative of a user head position. The rendering apparatus processes the received one or more audio input signals to obtain a spatial audio signal based on the user head position and obtains compensation metadata. The compensation metadata includes information indicating how the spatial audio signal should be adjusted to account for a change in the user head position. The rendering apparatus includes the compensation metadata to be used to adjust the spatial audio signal to account for a change in the user head position.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2021Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Jussi Kalevi Virolainen, Juha Taplo VILKAMO, Mikko-Ville LAITINEN

Publication number: 20230084225Abstract: Examples of the disclosure relate to apparatus, methods and computer programs for repositioning spatial audio streams. The apparatus is configured to receive a plurality of spatial audio streams wherein the spatial audio streams include one or more audio signals and associated spatial metadata. The apparatus is also configured to receive obtaining repositioning information relating to at least one of the plurality of spatial audio streams and repositioning the at least one of the plurality of spatial audio streams based on the repositioning information.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Mikko-Ville Laitinen, Juha Tapio Vilkamo, Jussi Kalevi Virolainen

Patent number: 9632683Abstract: An apparatus for enabling manipulation of one or more audio objects may include a processor and memory storing executable computer program code that cause the apparatus to at least perform operations including detecting at least one audio object and operating a pointer in a selected direction by a user. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to detect a gesture of the pointer in response to the operating of the pointer in the selected direction. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to control at least one characteristic of the detected audio object in response to the detected gesture of the pointer or an indication of a selection of the at least one characteristic. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2012Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: NOKIA TECHNOLOGIES OYInventors: Kari Juhani Jarvinen, Marko Tapani Yliaho, Jussi Kalevi Virolainen, Antti Heikki Tapio Sassi
