  • Patent number: 11138836
    Abstract: A method of providing a multi-player wagering game includes displaying, on at least one primary display device to at least one primary player, a primary game interface for the wagering game comprising a first plurality of game elements for facilitating play of the wagering game by the at least one primary player. The method also includes displaying, on at least one secondary display device to at least one secondary player, a secondary game interface for the wagering game comprising a second plurality of game elements for facilitating play of the wagering game by the at least one secondary player, wherein play of the wagering game by the at least one secondary player includes wagering on at least one outcome associated with play of the wagering game by the at least one primary player.

  • Patent number: 10284988
    Abstract: A method for analysing and decomposing a stereo audio signal including an audio signal for a left reproduction device and an audio signal for a right reproduction device by extracting panning coefficients that contain direction information about the sound sources from which the stereo audio signal originates based on the approximation that one sound source can be regarded as dominant for each frequency. This approximation allows the panning coefficients to be obtained, by solving a system of equations, with lower computation complexity than in the prior art. The sound quality that is obtained after re-panning the signal enhanced in this manner for a configuration with more than two loudspeakers is constant or better. Advantageously, following determination of the panning coefficients, the direct signal and two ambient signals that are not correlated with the direct sound source are extracted from the stereo audio signal.

  • Patent number: 9697840
    Abstract: The present document relates to methods and systems for music information retrieval (MIR). In particular, the present document relates to methods and systems for extracting a chroma vector from an audio signal. A method (900) for determining a chroma vector (100) for a block of samples of an audio signal (301) is described. The method (900) comprises receiving (901) a corresponding block of frequency coefficients derived from the block of samples of the audio signal (301) from a core encoder (412) of a spectral band replication based audio encoder (410) adapted to generate an encoded bitstream (305) of the audio signal (301) from the block of frequency coefficients; and determining (904) the chroma vector (100) for the block of samples of the audio signal (301) based on the received block of frequency coefficients.
