TECHNIQUES FOR SHARING STEREO SOUND BETWEEN MULTIPLE USERS

摘要

A first digital signal processor (DSP) associated with a first user outputs audio to the first user via first headphones, and captures speech from the first user via a first microphone. Similarly, a second DSP associated with a second user outputs audio to the second user via second headphones, and captures speech from the second user via a second microphone. The first DSP is coupled to the second DSP in order to allow the first and second users to share music and communicate with one another. The first user may speak into the first microphone, and the first and second DSPs may then interoperate to output that speech to the second user without substantially disrupting audio output to the second user. Each of the first and second users may also select between first and second audio sources that may be coupled to the first and second DSPs, respectively.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for generating an audio signal, the method comprising:
receiving a first signal from a first audio source; transmitting the first signal to an output element associated with the first user for output; receiving a second signal from an input element associated with a second user; combining the first signal with the second signal to produce a combined signal; and transmitting the combined signal to the output element associated with the first user for output.
