Patent number: 11388482Abstract: A display control system to generate a virtual environment in a vehicle includes an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to receive an input that corresponds to a selection of a video to be displayed on one or more display mediums provided in the vehicle. A relevance factor is determined between a current travel route of the vehicle and a travel route associated with the selected video. The relevance factor is determined in an event the vehicle is in motion along the current travel route. One or more video parameters of the selected video are adjusted based on the determined relevance factor. Display of at least the selected video on the one or more display mediums is controlled in the vehicle in motion in accordance with the adjusted one or more video parameters of the selected video.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Prabakaran Ramalingam, Awadh Bihari Mohan

Patent number: 10499181Abstract: Audio reproduction apparatus that includes a memory and a control circuitry. The memory stores an encoded object-based audio stream that includes a plurality of audio frames which include at least one encoded audio object that comprises an audio segment and metadata information. The control circuitry extracts the metadata information and controls movement of a first speaker of a plurality of speakers in a physical three dimensional (3D) space from a first position to a second position at a first time instant, based on the extracted metadata information associated with the at least one encoded audio object. The control circuitry decodes the audio segment from the at least one encoded audio object and controls play back of the decoded audio segment, at a second time instant, by the first speaker at the second position in a first audio frame of the plurality of audio frames.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2018Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventor: Prabakaran Ramalingam

Patent number: 10440271Abstract: An image-capture system, which handles on-chip compensation of rolling shutter effect in an imaging sensor, generates motion vector information for a plurality of speed values of a vehicle at each location on a specified route and derives an image-kernel for the plurality of speed values at each location on the specified route. A successive location of the vehicle is predicted at a current location of the vehicle based on the generated motion vector information for a current speed value of the vehicle at the current location on the specified route. A first image, which exhibits a shift of a plurality of pixels, is captured by the imaging sensor at the predicted successive location on the specified route. A second image is generated from the captured first image based on a compensation of the shift of the plurality of pixels in the captured first image.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2018Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Prabakaran Ramalingam, Awadh Bihari Mohan

Patent number: 10341762Abstract: A media content packaging and distribution system for dynamic generation of multi-channel audio includes a server, which stores location information of a plurality of subjects located in a defined area. A subject-of-interest is selected from the plurality of subjects in the defined area. Thereafter, a set of audio-capture devices are selected from the plurality of audio-capture devices. A set of audio streams are received from the selected set of audio-capture devices. A multi-channel audio is generated based on the received set of audio streams. The generated multi-channel audio is communicated to a consumer device. Based on an output of the multi-channel audio by the consumer device, an acoustic environment is reproduced as a surround sound environment at the consumer device from a perspective of the subject-of interest.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2017Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Prabakaran Ramalingam, Madhvesh Sulibhavi, Awadh Bihari Mohan
