Audio animation system

摘要

In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a system for rendering audio animation, the system comprising: two or more non-biotic figures; an audio player, having two or more audio sources correspondingly to the two or more non-biotic figures, for simultaneously playing the audio signals associated with the two or more non-biotic figures; and two or more speaker units corresponding to the two or more audio sources. The system may further comprise means for wireless transmission of the audio signal of at least one of the audio sources to a remote speaker unit thereof. The means for wireless transmission may comprise a wireless transmission unit deployed at the audio player, and a wireless receiving unit deployed at the speaker unit. The non-biotic figure may be a two-dimensional, three-dimensional figure, and so on.

主权项

1. An audio animation system, comprising:
a first three-dimensional non-biotic figure and a second three-dimensional non-biotic figure, each of the first and second non-biotic figures resembling a life-like figure;said first non-biotic figure having:
an audio player for simultaneously broadcasting a first audio signal for a first audio channel and a second audio signal for a second audio channel; an amplifier for amplifying said first audio signal conveyed through said first channel; a first speaker for playing audio of the first audio channel corresponding to the amplified first audio signal input from said amplifier; a radio frequency transmitter for transmitting radio frequency signals based upon said second audio signal through said second audio channel; a transmitting antenna for transmitting said radio frequency signals from said radio frequency transmitter;said second non-biotic figure having:
a receiving antenna for receiving said radio frequency signals transmitted from said transmitting antenna; a radio frequency receiver for receiving said radio frequency signals from said receiving antenna; a second speaker for playing audio of the second audio channel corresponding to the second audio signal from said radio frequency receiver,
the audio animation system providing the first and the second audio signals such that the first audio channel corresponds to a part in a conversation spoken by the first non-biotic figure and the second audio channel corresponds to a part in the conversation spoken by the second non-biotic figure.
