Abstract

System and method for enhancing audio reproduced by an audio reproduction device is disclosed. A spatial emulation appliance with a processor and memory is provided. Media content for reproduction is received by the spatial emulation appliance. A selection of a physical space to render the reproduction of the media content is received by the spatial emulation appliance. Convolved media content is generated by the spatial emulation appliance using filter coefficients, rendering logic and other parameters representative of the selected physical space. The convolved media content is presented for reproduction. A non-fungible token (NFT) is generated indicative of the authenticity and the spatial characteristics of the selected physical space.

Claims (46)

1. A method for enhancing audio reproduced by an audio reproduction device, including:

providing a spatial emulation appliance with a processor and memory;

generating a live space record indicative of a plurality of attributes associated with a physical space, wherein, the live space record including an information and control block, wherein, the information and control block including a valid usage period for the live space record;

receiving a media content for reproduction;

receiving a selection of the physical space to render the reproduction of the media content;

during the valid usage period for the live space record, generating a convolved media content using filter coefficients representative of the selected physical space; and

presenting the convolved media content for reproduction.

2. The method of claim 1 , further including:

disposing the spatial emulation appliance in an audio reproduction device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein presenting the media content for reproduction further including,

converting the convolved media content in digital form to an analog convolved media content;

selectively modifying the analog convolved media content by an analog output tuner; and

presenting the modified analog convolved media content to an audio reproduction device, for reproduction.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein, the selection of the physical space is based on an attribute defining a specific physical space selected by a user.

5. The method of claim 1 , further including, performing a machine analysis of the media content to determine specific physical space optimal for the reproduction of the media content.

6. A method for enhancing audio reproduced by an audio reproduction device, including:

providing a spatial emulation appliance with a processor and memory;

generating a live space record indicative of a plurality of attributes associated with the selected physical space;

generating a non-fungible token (NFT), the generated NFT including the live space record, and a certificate of authenticity of the selected physical spaces receiving a media content for reproduction;

receiving a selection of a physical space to render the reproduction of the media content;

generating a convolved media content using filter coefficients representative of the selected physical space; and

presenting the convolved media content for reproduction.

7. A system to enhance audio reproduced by an audio reproduction device, including:

a spatial emulation appliance with a processor and memory;

a live space record is generated, the live space record indicative of a plurality of attributes associated with the selected physical space, wherein, the live space record includes

an information and control block, wherein, the information and control block includes a valid usage period for the live space record;

media content for reproduction configured to be received by the spatial emulation appliance;

a selection of a physical space to render the reproduction of the media content configured to be received by the spatial emulation appliance;

convolved media content is generated by the spatial emulation appliance using filter coefficients representative of the selected physical space; and

the convolved media content is presented for reproduction.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein,

the spatial emulation appliance is disposed in an audio reproduction device.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein,

the convolved media content in digital form is converted to an analog convolved media content by a D/A converter;

the analog convolved media content is selectively modified by an analog output tuner; and

the modified analog convolved media content is presented to an audio reproduction device, for reproduction.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein, the selection of the physical space is based on an attribute defining a specific physical space selected by a user.

11. The system of claim 7 , a machine analysis of the media content is performed to determine specific physical space optimal for the reproduction of the media content.

12. A system to enhance audio reproduced by an audio reproduction device, including:

a spatial emulation appliance with a processor and memory;

a live space record is generated, the live space record indicative of a plurality of attributes associated with the selected physical space;

a non-fungible token (NFT) is generated, the generated NFT describing the live space record, and a certificate of authenticity of the selected physical space;

media content for reproduction configured to be received by the spatial emulation appliance;

a selection of the physical space to render the reproduction of the media content configured to be received by the spatial emulation appliance;

convolved media content is generated by the spatial emulation appliance using filter coefficients representative of the selected physical space; and

the convolved media content is presented for reproduction.
