An electronic device comprising circuitry configured to separate by audio source separation a first audio input signal into a first vocal signal and an accompaniment, and to transpose an audio output signal by a transposition value based on a pitch ratio, wherein the pitch ratio is based on comparing a first pitch range of the first vocal signal and a second pitch range of the second vocal signal.

Audio transposition

An electronic device having a circuitry configured to perform audio source separation on an audio input signal to obtain a separated source and configured to perform audio dubbing on the separated source based on replacement conditions to obtain a personalized separated source.

Audio source separation and audio dubbing

An electronic device for a vehicle comprising circuitry configured to obtain information about a planned maneuver of the vehicle; and circuitry configured to determine the position and/or orientation of a sound field based on the information about the planned maneuver of the vehicle.

Electronic device, method and computer program

An electronic device comprising circuitry configured to perform a transcript based voice enhancement based on a transcript to obtain an enhanced audio signal.

An electronic device comprising circuitry configured to obtain an audio signal of a first passenger of a vehicle and to control a loudspeaker array to generate at least one virtual sound source that reproduces the audio signal obtained from the first passenger, the virtual sound source being provided for a second passenger.

An apparatus comprising circuitry configured to generate one or more focused sound sources as virtual loudspeakers of an announcement system.

Apparatus, system, method and computer program for distributing announcement messages

A device for room geometry analysis comprising: a plurality of segments (-) built of acoustic metamaterials, each segment (&#x3c6;, &#x3b8;) acting as a waveguide with a unique transfer function (B(&#x3c6;, &#x3b8;, &#x3c9;)); and a processor configured to calculate delays (&#x3c4;(&#x3c6;, &#x3b8;)) and respective directions (c(&#x3c6;, &#x3b8;)) of mirror sound sources (-) by decomposing a sound signal (&#x15c;) obtained from a microphone () based on the transfer functions (B(&#x3c6;, &#x3b8;, &#x3c9;)) of the segments (-) and based on a calibration signal (tsp(t)) emitted by a speaker ().

Acoustic metamaterial device, method and computer program

A device for active noise control inside a vehicle, the device comprising a processor () configured to determine a noise wavefield within the vehicle based on noise signals captured by a microphone array (M-M); determine the position of the ears of a passenger (P) based on information obtained from a head tracking sensor (HTU); capture a noise field inside the vehicle based on information obtained by the microphone array; obtain a noise level at the ears of the passenger (P) from the noise field; and determine an anti-noise field based on the noise level at the position of the ears of the passenger.
