Definitions
- the present invention relates to, in a media system, a method of generating at least one output signal from at least one input signal from a second set of sound signals having a related second set of Head Related Transfer Functions.
- the present invention also relates to a computer system for performing the method.
- the present invention further relates to a computer program product for performing the method.
- This invention further relates to a media system for generating at least one output signal from a first set of sound signals from at least one input signal from a second set of sound signals having a related second set of Head Related Transfer Functions.
- WO 01/49073 discloses a sound reproduction system simulating external sound sources.
- the system uses a number of so-called Head Related Transfer Functions, HRTFs, to generate sound for a set of headphones.
- HRTFs Head Related Transfer Functions
- the method comprising the steps of: • determining, for each signal in the second set of sound signals, a weighted relation comprising at least one signal from a third set of intermediate sound signals and at least one weight value; • determining a first set of Head Related Transfer Functions based on the second set of sound signals, the second set of Head Related Transfer Functions and the weighted relation; and
- a weighted relation comprised by intermediate sound signals and at least one weight value is determined.
- said input sound signals are converted to intermediate sound signals for a subsequent internally use.
- said first, but new set of HRTFs is then determined based on the second set of sound signals, typically input sound signals and said second set of Head Related Transfer Functions, related to said input sound signals and initially dedicated to transform or transfer said second set of input sound signals. It is an advantage that in said determination - which will be discussed in the embodiments according to the invention - the new set of HRTFs comprises fewer HRTFs than said second set of Head Related Transfer Functions originally dedicated to transfer the input sound signals.
- said new, but fewer HRTFs i.e. first set of Head Related Transfer Functions
- said new, but fewer HRTFs are used to generate one or more output signal (belonging to said first set of sound signals) since one or more signals from the third set of intermediate sound signals is transferred by means of said new, lower number of HRTFs in order to obtain said output signals.
- the media system may be a TV, a CD player, a DVD player, a Radio, a display with sound, an amplifier, a headphone or a VCR.
- said media system comprising:
- Fig. 1 shows examples of the generation of two output sound signals from three input sound signals in the prior art and according to the invention
- fig. 2 shows the generation of two output sound signals from one input sound signal
- fig. 3 shows a method of generating at least one output sound signal from at least one input sound signal from a second set of input sound signals having a related second set of Head Related Transfer Functions.
- a set of head related transfer functions may be used to generate one or more sound signals.
- the HRTFs may be defined as functions describing how sound propagates from a specific sound source to the ear and the number of HRTFs belonging to a set, this could be from one HRTF describing sound propagation from a source to the two ears and to a number of HRTFs depending on the number of sources delivering sound.
- m intermediate signals are derived which needs 2 times m HRTFs (m > n ) head related transfer functions (HRTFs) may be used to expand said input signals (as the source) into multi-channel sound (as an intermedia product), which then may be down-mixed to fewer resulting output sound signals, e.g. a Left and a Right signal for a headphone.
- HRTFs head related transfer functions
- HRTF Head Related Transfer Function
- the HRTF captures all of the physical cues to source localization. Once the HRTF for the left ear and the right ear are known, it is possible to synthesize accurate binaural signals from a monaural source.
- the head related transfer function is well known and is described in a number of documents, such as Blauert, Spatial hearing: The Psychophysics of Human Sound
- the set of HRTFs are filter functions with parameters or coefficients being specific for specific persons. For a specific person different sets of HRTFs can be obtained depending on the arbitrary source mentioned above, the distance between the source and the person and also on the characteristics of the room in which the function parameters are measured.
- the HRTFs depend on the headphone through which sound reproduction takes place. The result of filtering sound using this function is that an optimal spatial reproduction of surround sound in headphones is obtained.
- the source could also be a typical loudspeaker; in this case it is necessary to perform cross-talk cancellation, which e.g. can be based on the HRTF.
- Stereophonic sound signals comprise a left and a right signal component which may originate from a stereo signal source, for example from a set of microphones, e.g. via further electronic equipment, such as a mixing equipment, etc.
- the signals may further be received as an output from another stereo player, over-the-air as a radio signal, or by any other suitable means.
- Fig. 1 shows examples of the generation of two output sound signals from three input sound signals in the prior art and according to the invention.
- Said two sound signals may in a typical use comprise a stereophonic signal distributed to two speakers in a headphone.
- binaural refers to the fact that there are two inputs to the listener's ears (left and right). Any set of left and right channel signals that are recorded at the position of the eardrum are called binaural signals.
- HRTF Head Related Transfer Functions
- H PL CH! • HRTF I .L + CH 2 • HRTF 2>L + CH 3 • HRTF 3)L (1)
- Hp R CHi • HRTF 1;R + CH 2 • HRTF 2;R + CH 3 • HRTF 3)R (2)
- the same transmission - as the prior art example - may be implemented in a different way.
- the same three channels (CH ⁇ CH 2 , and CH 3) will be discussed It is that these may be linear combinations or a weighted version of the left and right (intermediate) channel with the weights ⁇ and ⁇ .
- Said ⁇ and ⁇ may have their weight values depending on each channel, i.e. L and R, thus in general:
- Hp L ( ⁇ i • L + ⁇ ! • R) • HRTFI,L+ ( ⁇ 2 • L + ⁇ 2 • R) • HRTF 2 , L + ( ⁇ 3 • L + ⁇ 3 • R) • HRTF 3 , L (7)
- H PR ( ⁇ i • L + ⁇ • R) • HRTF 1;R + ( ⁇ 2 • L + ⁇ 2 • R) • HRTF 2jR + ( ⁇ 3 • L + ⁇ 3 • R) • HRTF 3> R (8)

- H PR L • ( i • HRTF 1)R + ⁇ 2 • HRTF 2 , R + ⁇ 3 • HRTF 3;R ) + R • ( ⁇ i • HRTF 1)R + ⁇ 2 • HRTF 2 , R + ⁇ 3 • HRTF 3;R ) ; (10)
- H PL L . ⁇ ( ⁇ , • HRTF L )+ R . ⁇ (/?,. . HRTF i>L ) (11) i
- H PR 2 ⁇ ( ⁇ , • HRTF lJt )+R * t ⁇ l *HRTF. R ) (12)
- H P the factors in formula (11) ⁇ (OCJ • HRTF J . L ), ⁇ ⁇ i • HRTFi, L ) are considered each as one filter.
- ⁇ (oq • HRTFi, R ) and ⁇ ⁇ j • HRTFj jR ) are the two filters for the Right headphone driver, Hp R .
- Fig. 2 shows the generation of two output sound signals from one input sound signal.
- Said two sound signals may in a typical use again comprise a stereophonic signal distributed to two speakers in a headphone, however in this example - as a second embodiment of the invention - only one source, M of an input sound signal is discussed.
- M of an input sound signal is discussed.
- the prior art is applied for only one input channel (as in this figure), i.e. an input sound source M and then distributed to two resulting (output) sound signals H PL , Hp R .
- one channel i.e. CH 3
- the summation for the left resulting (output) sound signal in the prior art is:
- Hp L CH ! • HRTF_L,1 + CH 2 • HRTF_R,1 (13)
- the first uppercase notation is each of the loudspeaker channels, L and R, respectively, and the second lower case notation is 1 for the left ear, r for the right ear.
- this transmission will require two times two, i.e. four Head Related Transfer Functions.
- the single sound (input) source, M may be anywhere between two loudspeakers. E.g. in a studio there is a singer M, pan-potted between both (or even more channels) so the left intermediate channel (CHIi) which may be expressed as orii • M and the right intermediate channel (CHI 2 ) may be expressed as ⁇ i • M, thus:
- channels (CHIi, CHI 2 ) in respect of the invention for this particular embodiment - are merely used as intermediate channels (variables) in the formulas - and are not real channels as opposed to the discussion (i.e. CHi , CH 2 ) relating to the prior art.
- - in respect of the invention - left and right (intermediate channels) are mapped onto one channel M.
- H PR aii • M • HRTF_L,r + ai 2 • M • HRTF_R,r (17)
- H PL M • (aii * HRTFJL ,1 + ai 2 • HRTF_R,1 ) (18)
- said second embodiment of mapping only two output channels onto one chamiel is very simple, the second embodiment may be generalized to mapping of more than two channels onto one (with corresponding ⁇ 's) as discussed in:
- HRTF general-purpose
- Examples of such transmission may be various transmitters, e.g. a transmitter including a network interface, a network card, a radio transmitter, a transmitter for other suitable electromagnetic signals, such as an LED for transmitting infrared light, e.g. via an IrDa port, radio-based communications, e.g. via a Bluetooth transceiver, or the like.
- suitable transmitters include a cable modem, a telephone modem, an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) adapter, a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) adapter, a satellite transceiver, an Ethernet adapter, or the like.

- said output sound signal may belong to a first set of output sound signals, e.g. one or more outputs such as H PL or Hp R directed to headphones or other speakers.
- said second set of sound signals may be inputs such as CH 1; CH 2 ..CHn and M.
- said (input) sound signals may - in a sound signal cascade chain with function blocks of HRTF - be considered as general purpose sound signals as inputs or outputs depending on whether they enter (as input) or leave (as output) a block of cascade coupled sound signals.
- output sound signals from one function block may be input (sound signals) to another function block and vice versa.
