Recently DSP chips are widely used in high quality car audio to achieve high quality sound and to process various sound sources, e.g. navigation, cell phones. In this paper, we developed a set of design tools useful for developing high quality car audio systems using Philips' SAF7730 car audio chips. The tool is consist of the GUI(Graphic User Interface) program running on the Windows operating system and the interface board which performs data conversion between RS232C and I2C protocols. The developed system has been successfully applied to commecial car audio design.

This paper proposes an automatic equalizer control method in automobile audio system. The proposed method discriminates the music segment from the consecutive real-time audio stream of the radio and the equalizer is controlled automatically according to the classified genre of the music segment. For enhancing the accuracy of the music genre classification in real-time, timbre feature and rhythm feature extracted from the consecutive audio stream is applied to GMM(Gaussian mixture model) classifier. The proposed method evaluates the performance of the music genre classification, which classified various audio segments segmented from the audio signal of the radio broadcast in automobile audio system into one of five music genres.

Audio tuning improves not only the sound quality of the car audio but also the quality of the completed car itself. However without the subjective assessment on the users' preferences, it is hard to tune the car audio satisfying them. Even though there are lots of factors to be considered to assess the preferences, only a restricted number of factors should be included in the experiment because the total number of experiments increases rapidly as the number of factors in the experiment increases. A large number of factors make it hard to explore the relationship between the sound quality and the sound characteristics and also makes the panels exhausted. In this paper, 8 sound characteristics, each with 2 levels, are considered for the experiment. An orthogonal design of experiment is suggested to reduce the number of experiments from 256 to 16. The analysis of variance is applied to show that Treble is the most significant characteristic of the reproduced sound of the given pop music. Also Deep Bass, SAD, and the interaction between Treble and SAD are found to be significant. For the given classic music, SAD is the only characteristic which turns out to be significant.

As the audio content market grows due to the spread of the AI speaker market and the influence of connected cars, the demand for podcast service is increasing. Therefore, in this study, the behaviors of podcast users were identified and the user types were classified. In the background study, podcast usage motives and user types were studied, and they were referred to when making the questionnaire. In the survey, preferred audio content was identified according to the situation, and in the in-depth interview, the user type and insights were derived by identifying the audio service usage behavior. As a result of the survey, there was little difference between preferred content for single listening and multitasking, but the difference in preferred content according to time period was statistically significant. The three user types derived from the in-depth interview were divided into users who listen alone for the purpose of study, find and listen to useful information quickly while on the go, and multitask and listen to the light and comfortable contents. It is expected that the results of this study will be an important reference for designing an audio content platform to improve user experience.

본 논문은 인간이 양귀로 3차원 공간상의 음의 위치를 파악하는 원리를 이용하여 만들어진 입체음향을 청취자의 안귀에 가장 효과적으로 재생시킴으로써 완벽한 입체음향을 재현하는 장치로 3차원 게임, 가상현실 시뮬레이터, 놀이공원에서 사용될 수 있는 A/V용 입체음향 재생기 구현 기법이다. 본 개발 품은 전방 30도에 스피커를 배치하는 기존 제품에 비해 안정된 정면 음상 정위와 후면 음상 정위가 가능하고, 청취자의 머리 움직임에 따른 입체음향 효과의 저하를 막을 수 있으며, 인지적 특성을 고려한 역 필터링으로 과도한 신호처리로 인한 음질 저하를 개선할 수 있고, 다중 사용자에게 동일한 음질을 골고루 전달할 수 있어 카 오디오나 영화관에서도 사용되어질 수 있다.

전통적으로 기존의 제품은 정적인 환경에서의 학습과 언어적인지가 중요시되며, 제품 조작 시에도 커뮤니케이션의 많은 부분을 시각적 인터페이스에 주로 의존한다. 그러나 기술의 진보와, 사회환경의 변화에 따라 많은 제품들이 휴대용 제품으로 변화하고 있으며, 제품의 크기 또한 경박단소화되어 제품의 사용방법이 점점 더 블랙박스화 되어 가고 있다. (중략)
