Patent number: 11694113Abstract: Aspects of the invention include a method including collecting, by a processor, physiological data from a user in an environment and a sound waveform from the user's environment. The method detects and labels as a potential annoyance, by the processor, a set of potential annoyance data based on the collected physiological data and the sound waveform. The method decomposes, by the processor, the sound waveform into a first sound waveform segment associated with the set of potential annoyance data and a second sound waveform segment not associated with the set of potential annoyance data. The method predicts, by the processor, that the potential annoyance is an actual annoyance. The method filters and modifies, by the processor, the first sound waveform segment associated with the actual annoyance and provides, by the processor, the second sound waveform segment not associated with the actual annoyance to the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2020Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Elaheh ShafieiBavani, Fatemeh Jalali, Mahtab Mirmomeni, Ying Xu
