Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for simulating a movement in a predetermined direction relative to a reference point in the vicinity of an acoustic reproduction device, and to
- Sound sources generally known.
- a person in the vicinity of the acoustic reproduction device is simulated to have a spatial movement in that a sound source generated by the acoustic reproduction device is relative to the person in a predetermined manner
- a simple example is the displacement of a sound source from a first loudspeaker to a second loudspeaker, which is located at a distance from the first loudspeaker, by means of an acoustic reproduction device.
- Virtual sound sources is known.
- a virtual sound source is realized by a suitable superimposition of sound signals, so that a person who perceives these signals has the impression that the perceived sound signals came from a specific person
- a method for simulating a movement using a virtual sound source has the disadvantage that this sound source has to move, for example, on a circular path in order to continuously indicate movement in a specific direction. If the sound source moves in a straight line, the sound source will move further and further away from the person, so that at a certain point in time the movement can no longer be displayed for the person.
- the object of the invention is to simulate a movement in a predetermined direction by means of an acoustic reproduction device, wherein a sound source generated is intended both to simulate a movement and to remain essentially fixed in space.
- This object is achieved by a method for simulating a movement in a predetermined direction relative to a reference point in the vicinity of an acoustic reproduction device, with the steps: a) providing the acoustic reproduction device to generate at least two virtual sound sources, b) controlling the acoustic reproduction device with a control unit which is used to repeatedly move the at least two virtual sound sources in succession from a predetermined starting point to a predetermined end point and from there jumps back to the starting point is formed, wherein a direction of movement of the at least two virtual sound sources coincides with the direction of the movement to be simulated.
- the proposed method has the effect that a person located at the reference point perceives the at least two virtual sound sources as a single sound source that is essentially stationary, but simulates a movement from the starting point to the ending point.
- the control in step b) is preferably carried out in such a way that movement of the at least two virtual sound sources is effected substantially perpendicular to a connecting line between the reference point and a point in the middle between the starting point and the end point of the movement of the at least two virtual sound sources. In this way, it is possible to ensure a particularly clear perception of the movement when the person is to be given a certain direction of movement by means of the acoustic reproduction device.
- the method can be performed as described, with the at least two virtual sound sources in this case either from right to left and can be moved back in leaps and bounds or from left to right and back in leaps and bounds by means of the control unit.
- the center point between the starting point and the end point of the movement of the at least two virtual sound sources will be approximately in the middle of the person's field of vision.
- the method to simulate movements that run obliquely to the connecting line between the reference point and the center between the start and end points.
- the path between the starting point and the end point can correspond to a direction that is specified by the navigation system.
- the movement path for the at least two virtual sound sources can be adapted such that the direction of travel to be selected for the motor vehicle is always indicated acoustically.
- control in step b) is carried out in such a way that for each virtual sound source an increase in the sound intensity from the starting point to the center and a decrease in the sound intensity from the center to the end point is effected. This measure helps ensure that the person performing the acoustic
- Perceives playback device gets the impression that there is only a single, essentially stationary sound source.
- the sound intensity can increase at a constant rate up to the center and decrease at the same rate from the center to the end point.
- step b) a movement speed of the at least two virtual sound sources is constant.
- At least four virtual sound sources should preferably be used, which are controlled as explained with the aid of the aforementioned at least two virtual sound sources.
- the above-mentioned object is also achieved by a sound reproduction arrangement with an acoustic reproduction device for simulating movement in a predetermined direction relative to a reference point in the vicinity of an acoustic reproduction device and for generating at least two virtual sound sources and with a control unit which is used for repeated movement the at least two virtual sound sources are formed in succession from a predetermined starting point to a predetermined end point and from there jump back to the starting point, a direction of movement of the at least two virtual sound sources coinciding with the direction of the movement to be simulated.
- the single drawing shows a chronological sequence of arrangements of a plurality of virtual sound sources in relation to a person in the vicinity of the sound sources to illustrate a method for simulating a movement for the person.
- the distance shown between virtual sound sources VS A, VS B, VS C and VS D that is to say four virtual sound sources, and a person represented by an ellipse as a stylized view from above of their head is not necessarily comparable to actual distances. In certain applications, the distance will be very small, as the drawing suggests, but it is also possible that the virtual sound sources VS A, VS B, VS C and VS D are located at a considerable distance from the person P.
- the virtual sound sources VS A, VS B, VS C and VS D are in an initial formation, lying on a common line, in the present exemplary embodiment a straight line.
- the path to be covered by each virtual sound source VS A, VS B, VS C and VS D, which simulates a movement in the direction of an arrow B in the figure for the person P, is identical. This path is defined by a start point and an end point. The starting point is defined as the point in space to which each of the virtual sound sources VSA, VSB, VSC, VSD is jumped back when it has reached the end point of the path.
- the starting point SP and the end point EP can also vary for the route to be covered.
- a center point MP of the path covered by the virtual sound sources VS A, VS B, VS C and VS D is approximately in the direction of a horizontal central axis of the field of vision of the person P.
- the path covered is approximately perpendicular to a connecting line V between the center point of the path and the person P who defines a reference point.
- the movement of the virtual sound sources VS A, VS B, VS C and VS D is controlled by a control unit (not shown) which is connected to an acoustic reproduction device (not shown), which is, for example, a headphone or a loudspeaker arrangement can.
- the acoustic reproduction device and the control unit together form a sound reproduction arrangement which is suitable for carrying out the method.
- the control unit tracks which position each of the virtual sound sources VS A, VS B, VS C and VS D has at a specific point in time. Depending on the particular Position determines the control unit, the intensity of the sound signal, which is emitted by a virtual sound source VS A, VS B, VS C and VS D in question. From the starting point SP on the right side of the figure, the intensity increases to the above-mentioned center MP, after which it decreases to the end point EP. The increase and decrease in sound intensity occurs at the same constant rate.
- This procedure has the advantage that the person P perceives the sound source arrangement, which results from the four virtual sound sources VS A, VS B, VS C and VS D arranged one behind the other, as a single sound source that is stationary, but a movement from the right faked to the left. In particular, a virtual sound source located on the left edge is suddenly moved when its intensity has reached its minimum.
- White noise for example, can be used as the audio signal to be emitted by the virtual sound sources VS A, VS B, VS C and VS D.
- the broadcast audio signals can have a bandwidth that allows the sound signals to be localized.
- the virtual sound sources VS A, VS B, VS C and VS D can also present speech signals or so-called hearing icons, which are naturally or synthetically generated sound signals to which a function is assigned and which is as intuitive as possible by the person P related to this function. It is important that all virtual sound sources VS A, VS B, VS C and VS D emit the same audio signal, possibly with a changing intensity.
- Application example 1 A person uses a navigation system installed in a motor vehicle. If the navigation system uses a voice output to suggest that the person turn left, for example after 500 meters, the voice output is played so that the four virtual sound sources VS A, VS B, VS C and VS D move in the desired direction in the present case Fall to the left.
- a person uses a location-based service using a cell phone. She uses a stereo headphone. The location-based service advises the person that they have to move up to find a department within a store that they are looking for. In this case, the four virtual sound sources are moved by means of the control unit so that an upward movement is simulated. The audio signal played back, for example "Please move to the next higher floor", then forms the output signal of the virtual sound sources VS A, VS B, VS C and VS D.
- a mobile phone can have the option of presenting user menus virtually spatially.
- the person using the mobile phone visually gets the impression that the menu items are more deeply nested than the top menu level. This gives the person the opportunity to get an impression of what is behind a menu item on the top level, for example hides and can move intuitively through this virtual spatial representation of menus.
- Three-dimensional audio icons are used. With the help of these icons, a movement of the user can be converted into a movement of the virtual sound sources VS A, VS B, VS C and VS D and made audible to the user. In this way he can find his way around the three-dimensional virtual spatial representation of the user menus.
- a game implemented on a mobile phone is intended to give the impression that a person is moving through a virtual world.
- the movement speed of the person should change. It is very difficult to explain the change in the speed of movement solely by means of a visual impression which the person receives, for example, via the display field of the mobile phone.
- a parallel implementation of the method described above helps to clarify the movement by the fact that a soundscape offered remains on the one hand stationary in the room, but on the other hand an apparent movement is perceived by the person. In this way, for example, the impression of different movement speeds can be "simulated" for the person.
- the spatial positions of the starting point SP and the end point EP are not fixed over time but are time-dependent. This means that the
