Publication number: 20230291840Abstract: A method includes receiving a microphone audio signal and a playout audio signal, and determining a frequency representation of the microphone audio signal and a frequency representation of the playout audio signal. For each frequency representation, the method also includes determining features based on the frequency representation. Each feature corresponds to a pair of frequencies of the frequency representation and a period of time between the pair of frequencies. The method also includes determining that a match occurs between a first feature based on the frequency representation of the microphone audio signal and a second feature based on the frequency representation of the playout audio signal, and determining that a delay value between the first feature and the second feature corresponds to an echo within the microphone audio signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Alexandre Loiko, Marcus Wirebrand, Samuel Martin Zackrisson, Iva Creusen, Mans Gustaf Sebastian Ullberg, Alessio Bazzica, Daniel Johansson

Patent number: 11418655Abstract: A method (400) includes receiving a microphone audio signal (132) and a playout audio signal (112), and determining a frequency representation (324) of the microphone audio signal and a frequency representation of the playout audio signal. For each frequency representation, the method also includes determining features (302) based on the frequency representation. Each feature corresponds to a pair of frequencies (342) of the frequency representation and a period of time between the pair of frequencies. The method also includes determining that a match (212) occurs between a first feature based on the frequency representation of the microphone audio signal and a second feature based on the frequency representation of the playout audio signal, and determining that a delay value (222) between the first feature and the second feature corresponds to an echo within the microphone audio signal.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2019Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Alexandre Loiko, Marcus Wirebrand, Samuel Martin Zackrisson, Ivo Creusen, Mans Gustaf Sebastian Ullberg, Alessio Bazzica, Daniel Johansson
