An audio providing apparatus and method are provided. The audio providing apparatus includes: an object renderer configured to render an object audio signal based on geometric information regarding the object audio signal; a channel renderer configured to render an audio signal having a first channel number into an audio signal having a second channel number; and a mixer configured to mix the rendered object audio signal with the audio signal having the second channel number.

Audio providing apparatus and audio providing method

A method of processing an audio signal including at least one audio object based on image information includes: obtaining the audio signal and a current image that corresponds to the audio signal; dividing the current image into at least one block; obtaining motion information of the at least one block; generating index information including information for giving a three-dimensional (3D) effect in at least one direction to the at least one audio object, based on the motion information of the at least one block; and processing the audio object, in order to give the 3D effect in the at least one direction to the audio object, based on the index information.

Method for processing sound on basis of image information, and corresponding device

Disclosed is an object based audio contents generating/playing apparatus. The object based audio contents generating/playing apparatus may include an object audio signal obtaining unit to obtain a plurality of object audio signals by recording a plurality of sound source signals, a recording space information obtaining unit to obtain recording space information with respect to a recording space of the plurality of sound source signals, a sound source location information obtaining unit to obtain sound location information of the plurality of sound source signals, and an encoding unit to generate object based audio contents by encoding at least one of the plurality of object audio signals, the recording space information, and the sound source location information, thereby enabling the object based audio contents to be played using at least one of a WFS scheme and a multi-channel surround scheme regardless of a reproducing environment of the audience.

Apparatus for generating and playing object based audio contents

Disclosed is a method for inserting contents provided by external web server in community homepage. Community manager sets up key word or search category regarding interest contents, the key word and search category information is transmitted to predetermined web server. The web server derives contents corresponding to key word and search category, the derived contents information is transmitted to community server from the web server. The community server transforms search result information into HTML format and insert in community homepage. Users of community can obtain information which is not uploaded by community members.
