Process and system for directional acoustic propagation
First Claim
1. Process for directed sound irradiation of a listener (4) with audible acoustic audio signals (3) by modulation of the amplitude of an intense ultrasound carrier signal (2), which is emitted directionally from an ultrasound emitter (1), thereby characterized, that the audio sound (3) is directed to the listener (4) via a reflector (5), wherein the ultrasound carrier signal (2) prior to reaching the listener (4) is attenuated by a means introduced between ultrasound emitter (1) and listener (4).

Abstract
A process and a device for producing a directed audio sound (3) on the basis of an amplitude demodulated ultrasound carrier signal (2) of high intensity. Therein, in accordance with the invention, the sound emitted by the ultrasound emitter (1) is reflected by a reflector (5) to a new direction. By appropriate shaping of the reflector surface, the audio sound (3) can be focused. The level of the ultrasound carrier signal (2) can be dampened by coating of the reflector (5) with an appropriate absorptive material, so that in the ideal case only the acoustic audio signal (3) reaches of the listener (4).

- 7. Device for the directed sound irradiation of a listener (4) with acoustic recognizable audio signals (3), wherein an ultrasound emitter (1) emits with bundling an amplitude modulated ultrasound carrier signal (2) with high intensity, thereby characterized, that a reflector (5) is present, which reflects the audio sound (3) in the direction of the listener (4), and that between the ultrasound emitter (1) and listener (4) a means is introduced which strongly reduced the intensity of the ultrasound carrier signal (2) prior to reaching the listener (4).
