Abstract: An apparatus comprising means for: controlling rendering of first environmental audio captured from an environment of a first user to a second user in dependence upon second environmental audio that is being captured from an environment of the second user.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to conference calls. In a method, there may be provided audio data and associated classification data from a plurality of user devices as part of a conference call, the plurality of user devices including at least a first user device and a second user device. The classification data may be indicative of one of a plurality of predetermined sound types represented by the associated audio data in a current time frame. The method may comprise determining that the audio data provided by the first user device is associated with a dominant speaker. The method may comprise controlling transmission of the audio data as part of the conference call, including preventing transmission of audio data provided by at least the second user device based on its associated classification data being indicative of a restricted sound type and the first user device being associated with a dominant speaker.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising: a first audio signal analyzer configured to analyze a first audio signal to determine at least one audio source, wherein the at least one audio source has a virtual location; a second audio signal analyzer configured to analyze a second audio signal to determine at least one localized audio source, wherein the second audio signal is generated from the apparatus audio environment; and a repositioner configured to reposition the virtual location of the at least one audio source dependent on the at least one localized audio source.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising: a first audio signal analyser configured to analyse a first audio signal to determine at least one audio source, wherein the at least one audio source has a virtual location; a second audio signal analyser configured to analyse a second audio signal to determine at least one localised audio source, wherein the second audio signal is generated from the apparatus audio environment; and a repositioner configured to reposition the virtual location of the at least one audio source dependent on the at least one localised audio source.

Abstract: An apparatus including an audio mixer configured to mix at least two audio channels of an audio signal; and a sensor configured to sense motion and/or orientation of the apparatus. The audio mixer is configured to change mixing of the at least two audio channels based, at least partially, on an output from the sensor regarding the sensed motion and/or orientation of the apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising: an input configured to receive at least one of: at least two audio signals from at least two microphones; and a network setup message; an analyser configured to authenticate at least one user from the input; a determiner configured to determine the position of the at least one user from the input; and an actuator configured to perform an action based on the authentication of the at least one user and/or the position of the at least one user.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising: an input configured to receive at least one detected acoustic signal from one or more sound sources; a sound direction determiner configured to determine one or more directions associated with the one or more sound sources based on the detected at least one acoustic signal; and a user interface input generator configured to generate at least one user interface input based on the one or more directions, wherein the user interface input is configured to control the apparatus operation.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for location based sound management. Information associated with a display is defined or selected based on user inputs and sounds associated with responsive locations of the display. Defining of the information associated with the display may be based at least in part on user touches to a touch screen display. Parameters for playback are also selected, such as a number of audio channels, based on user inputs that may similarly comprise user touches to the touch screen display. Playback parameters may be changed during playback based on user inputs occurring during playback.

Abstract: An audio processing apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprising an audio analysis unit configured to obtain a group of audio signals, each audio signal associated with an image of a group of images, the group of images being provided for a presentation having an assigned overall viewing time with each image having an assigned viewing time, and to analyze at least one of the audio signals to determine one or more intermediate audio signals for determination of an audio track having a first duration, which first duration essentially covers said assigned overall viewing time. The apparatus further comprises an audio track determination unit configured to compose the audio track having said first duration on basis of said one or more intermediate audio signals.
