  • Equalization of speech signal in mobile phone
    Patent number: 6011853
    Abstract: The invention relates to equalization in a digital phone, advantageously a mobile phone. According to the invention, the equalization (4) of a reproduced sound is changed according to the operating conditions of the phone. Information about the conditions is obtained by monitoring the sound volume (19) set by the user, measuring the background noise (17) in the operating environment of the phone through the phone's microphone (9) and/or monitoring the quality (16) of the connection between the phone and the communication network. The low frequency emphasis is reduced in a very noisy environment and increased in a quiet environment. The telephone according to the invention is advantageously a mobile phone in a digital cellular network.

  • Method and circuit arrangement for adjusting the level or dynamic range of an audio signal
    Patent number: 5907823
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a circuit arrangement for adjusting the level and/or dynamic range of an audio signal in a transmission system and particularly in a mobile station. According to the invention, the level of acoustic noise in the environment of a terminal (10, 12) and the level and noise level of a received signal are measured (123) and the level and/or dynamic range of the reproduced signal are adjusted (121, 122) according to the results from said measurements. The solution according to the invention helps reduce the effect of noise in the signal transmitted on the transmission channel (11) and of the acoustic noise in the environment of the terminal (12) on the intelligibility of the reproduced information.
