Abstract: A system for telepresencing is provided with a user station at a remote user's location and a telepresence device at a local subject's location. Distance of objects around the local subject is sensed such that a selected distance between the telepresence device and the local subject is maintained. Eye features and gazes of the local subject and the remote user are sensed. The height of the telepresence device's display is adjusted automatically such that the eye level of the local subject matches with the eye level of the user's image in the display. When an intended eye contact is sensed, positions of the telepresence device, its display and a sensor hub that houses cameras and other sensors are adjusted, and a face image may be recreated at a different viewing angle to resemble an eye contact between the local subject and the remote user while preserving all other facial expressions.

Abstract: An active noise equalization (ANE) system may be run on the existing audio/infotainment system as a software library. The ANE system may share components (e.g., microphones and sensors) with other audio applications. Some ANEs include a complex-domain formulation of a multiple-frequency multiple-channel ANE that requires less memory and processing requirements. The complex-domain system replaces the multiplication of multiple real gains with multiple real signals with a single complex multiplication operation.
