  • Patent number: 11622208
    Abstract: An own voice suppression apparatus applicable to a hearing aid is disclosed. The own voice suppression apparatus comprises: an air conduction sensor, an own voice indication module and a suppression module. The air conduction sensor is configured to generate an audio signal. The own voice indication module is configured to generate an indication signal according to at least one of user's mouth vibration information and user's voice feature vector comparison result. The suppression module coupled to the air conduction sensor and the own voice indication module is configured to generate an own-voice-suppressed signal according to the indication signal and the audio signal.

  • Publication number: 20220358946
    Abstract: A speech processing apparatus applied in a communication device having a mechanical defect is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) unit, a multiplier and a processor. The AEC unit cancels an echo in a first audio signal from a microphone using a known AEC algorithm to generate a second audio signal. The multiplier multiplies corresponding M frames of a downlink audio signal by a gain to provide a gained downlink signal for a speaker. The processor performs operations comprising: muting an uplink audio signal when a first power level for M frames of a first input signal is less than a first threshold value; and, reducing the gain when the first power level and a second power level for M frames of a second input signal are respectively greater than the first threshold value and a second threshold value.

  • Patent number: 9680828
    Abstract: A mobile device including a touch panel and a processing unit is provided. The touch panel includes one transmitting electrode and one receiving electrode. The transmitting electrode performs signal transmission using a touch-link technology, and the receiving electrode performs signal reception using the touch-link technology. The processing unit receives a message from a terminal device via the receiving electrode, and transmits an identification number to the terminal device via the transmitting electrode according to the message, so as to use the identification number for a verification on the terminal device.
