Abstract: Output of audio or visual content via local mobile user devices (4a, 4b. 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f), such as a mobile phone and/or a headset, or via output devices (8a, 8b. 8c, 8d, 8e, 8f 8g, 8h), such as a speaker and/or a display, is controlled by a controller (7). The output devices (Sa, 8b. Sc, 8d, 8e, 8f 8g. 8h) are located at different locations within an environment for accommodating users (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d), such as the interior of a car. The controller (7) determines information on a location within the environment of each of the mobile user devices (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f) based on wireless signals received from the user devices (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f), such as Bluetooth low energy signals, and controls the output of the content based on this.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure relate to apparatus, methods and computer programs for spatial processing audio scenes with improved intelligibility for speech or other key sounds. In examples of the disclosure at least one audio signal including two or more channels is obtained. The audio signal is processed with program code to identify at least a first portion of the audio signal wherein the first portion predominantly includes audio of interest. The first portion is processed using a first process. The second portion is processed using a second process including spatial audio processing. The first process includes no spatial audio processing or a low level of spatial audio processing compared to the second process and the second portion predominantly includes a remainder. The processed first portion and second portion can be played back using two or more loudspeakers.

Abstract: According to an example embodiment, a technique for processing an input audio signal comprising a multi-channel audio signal is provided, the technique comprising: deriving, based on the input audio signal, a first signal component comprising a multi-channel audio signal that represents a focus portion of a spatial audio image conveyed by the input audio signal and a second signal component comprising a multi-channel audio signal that represents a non-focus portion of the spatial audio image; processing the second signal component into a modified second signal component wherein the width of the spatial audio image is extended from that of the second signal component; and combining the first signal component and the modified second signal component into an output audio signal comprising a multi-channel audio signal that represents partially extended spatial audio image.

Abstract: Devices such a printer 4, television 3 and car door lock 2 are controlled wirelessly by a controller 5 which may consist of eye tracking glasses that detect the gaze angle of the user also include an orientation detector that receives rf packets from the devices, from which the orientation of the device can be detected. Control of the devices is performed wirelessly when the detected orientation of the device and the gaze detection angle adopt a predetermined relationship, for example when they become aligned.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product provide an improved filter calibration procedure to reliably equalize the long term spectrum of the audio signals captured by first and second microphones that are at different locations relative to a sound source and/or are of different types. In the context of a method, the signals captured by the first and second microphones are analyzed. The method also determines one or more quality measures based on the analysis. In an instance in which one or more quality measure satisfy a predefined condition, the method determines a frequency response of the signals captured by the first and second microphones. The method also determines a difference between the frequency response of the signals captured by the first and second microphones and processes the signals captured by the first microphone for filtering relative to the signals captured by the second microphone based upon the difference.
