Patent number: 11790882Abstract: Embodiments and methods perform ear cavity frequency response (EFCR) adaptive noise cancelation (ANC) with path-compensation over an entire main path to the eardrum (MPED) of a user. A number of ANC filter models are pre-trained to include respective anti-noise path (ANP) filter models and respective MPED filter models representing ANC filter configurations. As a user wears a headphone earpiece, characteristics of the wearer and the position/orientation of wearing manifest a wearer/wearing condition. Techniques described herein can continuously or periodically and efficiently determine which of the pre-trained ANC filter models most closely described the present MPED of the present wearer/wearing condition, and can continuously or periodically update the ANC filter configuration based on the pre-trained models to maintain high-performance ANC that includes EFCR path-compensation.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2022Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: SHENZHEN GOODIX TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Youhong Lu, Lelin Wang, Guoliang Li, Ching-Hua Yeh
