Abstract:
Systems and methods of simulating acoustic output at a location corresponding to source position data are disclosed. A particular method includes receiving an audio signal and source position data associated with the audio signal. A set of speaker signals are applied to a plurality of speakers, where the set of speaker driver signals causes the plurality of speakers to generate acoustic output that simulates output of the audio signal by an audio source at a location corresponding to the source position data.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n receiving, by an audio system in a vehicle, an audio signal and source position data associated with the audio signal; up-mixing the audio signal to generate a plurality of intermediate signal components; down-mixing the plurality of intermediate signal components to generate a plurality of speaker signal components; and processing a plurality of speaker signals components to generate a set of speaker driver signals that cause a plurality of speakers distributed within the vehicle to simulate output of the audio signal at a location corresponding to the source position data, wherein the plurality of speakers comprise a plurality of near-field speakers, and a plurality of fixed speakers located forward of the near-field speakers; wherein the set of speaker driver signals comprises a first plurality of speaker driver signals for delivery to the plurality of near-field speakers, and a second plurality of speaker driver signals for delivery to the plurality of fixed speakers located forward of the near-field speakers; and wherein processing the plurality of speaker signal components comprises:\n binaural filtering a subset of the plurality of speaker signal components to generate a plurality of binaural image signals; \n filtering the plurality of binaural image signals by applying frequency response equalization of magnitude and phase to the plurality of binaural image signals; \n combining the plurality of filtered binaural image signals to generate the first plurality of speaker driver signals; and \n combining the plurality of speaker signal components to generate the second plurality of speaker driver signals.
