Patent number: 11955133Abstract: Disclosed is an audio signal processing method implemented by an audio system with internal and external sensors. The internal sensor measures acoustic signals propogating internally to a user's head. The external sensor measures acoustic signals propagating externally to the user's head. The method includes: producing first and second audio signals by measuring simultaneously acoustic signals reaching the internal and external sensors, respectively; filtering the second audio signal by a noise matching filter matching a second noise signal affecting the second audio signal with a first noise signal affecting the first audio signal, wherein the first noise signal and the second noise signal correspond to a same noise acoustic signal originating outside the user's head and measured by respectively the internal and external sensors, thereby producing a filtered second audio signal including a matched second noise signal; and mixing the filtered second audio signal and the first audio signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Analog Devices International Unlimited CompanyInventors: Stijn Robben, Charles Fox

Publication number: 20240046945Abstract: Disclosed is an audio signal processing method implemented by an audio system including at least an internal sensor, an external sensor and a speaker unit. The audio signal processing method includes: producing internal and external audio signals by measuring simultaneously acoustic signals reaching the internal sensor and acoustic signals reaching the external sensor, respectively; converting the internal audio signal to frequency domain, thereby producing an internal audio spectrum; converting the external audio signal to frequency domain, thereby producing an external audio spectrum; estimating, based on the internal audio spectrum, an echo audio spectrum of an echo audio signal caused by the speaker unit in the external audio signal, wherein the echo audio spectrum is estimated for frequencies above a minimum frequency, wherein the minimum frequency ?600 hertz; and correcting the external audio spectrum for frequencies above the minimum frequency, based on the echo audio spectrum.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2022Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Charles FOX, Jean-Marc LUNEAU

Patent number: 9736704Abstract: A system and method for providing an overlay network is provided. The overlay network comprises a database of underlying wireless networks provided by various carriers. Location information, an associated time and wireless network performance parameters of a plurality of wireless networks are collected from a plurality of client devices. The system and method aggregates the performance parameters based on geographic area and a time window. The performance parameters are analyzed to determine a best performing wireless network within each geographic area during the time window. The best performing wireless network is then assigned as a default wireless network for the geographic area during the time window and stored in the database defining the overlay network. The database is then provided to the plurality of client devices to provide a default wireless network for the plurality of client device to attach to when in that geographic area during the time window.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2013Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Arvind Jain, Nicholas Charles Fox
