New invention: Video player with dialogue intelligibility enhancement functionality

Two inventors from Poland presented at the Brussels Innova Invention Fair 2013 the invention: Video player with dialogue intelligibility enhancement functionality.

The video player with dialogue intelligibility enhancement functionality is designated for application in mobile devices, such as netbooks, ultrabooks, tablets, etc. Insufficient intelligibility of dialogue part of the soundtrack in videos played on mobile devices is a common problem, often resulting from difficult listening conditions, prone to multiple disturbing sounds, both originating from the soundtrack and coming from the environment. Dialogue enhancement is achieved by employing an innovative algorithm, which analyses multi-track soundtrack (usually in 5.1 format) and amplifies those signal components that refer to dialogues. Other sounds, including sound effects and score, remain at the same level. Further improvement of intelligibility of dialogues is achieved by amplification of dialogue to the level comfortable to the listener.

This invention has a potential for broad international application. The inventors are interested in commercialization of the invention and are seeking appropriate interested manufacturer.
