  • Managing jitter buffer length for improved audio quality
    Patent number: 11343301
    Abstract: A technique for managing real-time communications includes generating, during a communication session between at least a first computing device and a second computing device over a computer network, multiple audio factors of the communication session, each of the audio factors being susceptible to degradation in a way that affects audio quality of the communication session. The technique further includes combining the audio factors to produce an overall measure of audio quality and taking remedial action to improve the overall measure of audio quality by adjusting a setting on the first computing device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 9, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 24, 2022
    Assignee: GoTo Group, Inc.
    Inventors: Matthieu Hodgkinson, Florian Heese, Georg Bannasch
  • Reducing acoustic feedback over variable-delay pathway
    Patent number: 10708689
    Abstract: A technique for reducing acoustic feedback in audio communications includes measuring variations in round-trip delay over an audio signal pathway. The technique varies a delay interval of an adjustable-delay element in real time based on the measured variations in round-trip delay, effectively canceling the delay variations. Further techniques are disclosed for detecting and eliminating howling frequencies which arise as a result of acoustic feedback in the audio signal pathway.
