  • Patent number: 11917373
    Abstract: A speaker comprises a housing, a transducer residing inside the housing, and at least one sound guiding hole located on the housing. The transducer generates vibrations. The vibrations produce a sound wave inside the housing and cause a leaked sound wave spreading outside the housing from a portion of the housing. The at least one sound guiding hole guides the sound wave inside the housing through the at least one sound guiding hole to an outside of the housing. The guided sound wave interferes with the leaked sound wave in a target region. The interference at a specific frequency relates to a distance between the at least one sound guiding hole and the portion of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20240038257
    Abstract: A voice activity detection method and system and a voice enhancement method and system are provided. A voice presence probability of a target voice signal present in microphone signals may be determined by calculating a linear correlation between a signal subspace where the microphone signals are located and a target subspace where the target voice signal is located. The voice enhancement method and system may be used to calculate filter coefficients based on the voice presence probability, so as to perform voice enhancement on the microphone signals. The calculation accuracy of the voice presence probability is improved, and the voice enhancement effect is also improved.
