SPATIAL AUDIO PROCESSING Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC H04S7/00 G06F3/01 G06F3/16 H04R3/12 H04R5/04 

FIELD: apparatus for processing spatial audio.

SUBSTANCE: receiving the audio-scene data describing the audio scene, the audio-scene data comprising audio data describing spatial audio components and position data, describing positions in audio scene for at least some components of spatial audio. Providing a variable focal distance indicating the distance from the reference position in the audio scene. Adapting a property of perceived expressiveness of at least a first spatial audio component from spatial audio components relative to at least one other component of spatial audio of audio-scene in response to the difference indicator, reflecting the difference between the variable focal distance and the distance in the audio scene from the reference position to the position of the first spatial audio component.

EFFECT: technical result is higher efficiency of audio processing.
