Patent number: 9184791Abstract: Audio processing devices and methods. An ambient microphone picks up ambient sound and a voice microphone picks up a speaker's voice. The voice microphone is located farther from the speaker's mouth when a device is held to one side of the speaker's face than when held to the other side. A signal indicates whether an expected position of the handheld body is a position on a left side or right side of a speaker's face. Ambient sound in the voice signal is reduced by applying a first algorithm configuration selected to process voice signals with lower signal-to-noise ratio when the expected position in on one side of the speaker's face, and by applying a second sound cancellation algorithm configuration selected to process higher signal-to-noise ratios when the expected position is on the other side of the speaker's face.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2012Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventor: Philippe Gilbert Jacques Joseph Moquin

Patent number: 8831686Abstract: Dual microphones can be used to improve noise suppression by better distinguishing between speech and background noise. If the user does not hold the handset according to a prescribed orientation, however, the dual microphone noise suppression can actually do a worse job than a single microphone noise suppression algorithm because of mistakes made distinguishing between speech and noise. Here it is proposed to use an accelerometer to determine the orientation of the phone and use this orientation information in the noise suppression algorithm. Also when a person speaks, the vibrations when the device is held against the head can be used to detect speech.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2012Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Per Magnus Fredrik Hansson, Philippe Gilbert Jacques Joseph Moquin

Publication number: 20130260839Abstract: An apparatus, and an associated method, provides for operation of a handset receiver at a volumetric output level of either a hands free mode of operation or a handset mode of operation. A noncontact proximity sensor detects proximity of the handset to a user. If the sensed proximity indicates that the handset is positioned proximate to the user, the maximum volumetric output level is constrained to be no greater than a maximum handset mode of operation level. If the sensed proximity is greater than a minimum distance, high volumetric output levels are permitted of the handset receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2012Publication date: October 3, 2013Applicant: RESEARCH IN MOTION LIMITEDInventors: Philippe Gilbert Jacques Joseph Moquin, Per Magnus Fredrik Hansson, Farhoud Shirzadi, Robbie Donald Edgar, Luke Stephen Allen

Patent number: 8401987Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for managing validation models and rules to apply to data sets. A schema definition describing a structure of at least one column in a first data set having a plurality of columns and records providing data for each of the columns is received. At least one model is generated, wherein each model asserts conditions for at least one column in a record of the first data set. The schema definition and the at least one model are stored in a data quality model. Selection is received of a second data set and the data quality model. A determination is made as to whether a structure of the second data set is compatible with the schema definition in the selected data quality model. Each model in the data quality model is applied to the records in the second data set to validate the records in the second data set in response to determining that the structure of the second data set and the schema definition are compatible.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2007Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Geetika Agrawal, Jacques Joseph Labrie, Mary Ann Roth, Yannick Saillet

Patent number: 8166000Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for using a data mining algorithm to generate format rules used to validate data sets. A data set has a plurality of columns and records providing data for each of the columns. Selection is received of at least one format column for which format rules are to be generated and selection is received of at least one predictor column. A format mask column is generated for each selected format column. For records in the data set, a value in the at least one format column is converted to a format mask representing a format of the value in the format column and storing the format mask in the format mask column in the record for which the format mask was generated. The at least one predictor column and the at least one format mask column are processed to generate at least one format rule. Each format rule specifies a format mask associated with at least one condition in the at least one predictor column.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2007Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jacques Joseph Labrie, David Thomas Meeks, Mary Ann Roth, Yannick Saillet
