Abstract
An audio processing system controls an audio input signal. The audio processing system includes a signal analyzer that detects content information and source information corresponding to the audio input signal. The system generates an analyzed audio signal. A signal processor receives the analyzed audio signal and generates a processed audio signal based on the content information and/or source information.
Claims25
An audio processing system for controlling an audio input signal provided by an audio source device, the system comprising:
- a signal analyzer configured to determine content information and source information corresponding to the audio input signal, and generate an analyzed audio signal, where a class is assigned to the analyzed audio signal;
- a signal processor configured to receive the analyzed audio signal and generate a processed audio signal based on the content information and/or source information from the signal analyzer unless based upon the class the signal processor determines that the analyzed audio signal is to be delayed;
- and
- the signal processor outputting the processed audio signal that was delayed to one or more loudspeakers.
The system of claim. 1, where the signal processor is configured to set a volume level corresponding to the received analyzed audio signal and output the processed audio signal to at least one loudspeaker in accordance with the set volume level.
A method for controlling an audio signal provided by an audio source device, comprising:
- providing at least one audio input signal;
- determining content information and source information corresponding to the audio signal and generating an analyzed audio signal, where a class is assigned to the analyzed audio signal;
- processing the analyzed audio signal based upon the content information and the source information to generate a processed audio signal unless based upon the class the analyzed audio signal is to be delay;
- and
- outputting the processed audio signal that was delayed to one or more loudspeakers.
A computer-readable storage medium having processor executable instructions to control an audio signal provided by an audio source device by performing the acts of:
- providing at least one audio input signal;
- determining content information and source information corresponding to the audio signal and generating an analyzed audio signal, where a class is assigned to the analyzed audio signal;
- processing the analyzed audio signal based upon the content information and the source information to generate a processed audio signal unless based upon the class the analyzed audio signal is to be delayed;
- and
- outputting the processed audio signal that was delayed to one or more loudspeakers.
