Patent number: 11810587Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a microphone, a radar, a memory, and a processor in communication with the microphone, the radar, and the memory. The microphone is to receive audio signals. The radar is to collect data on users in a location. The memory is to store known body positions associated with having a side-conversation. The processor is to determine that a user is having a side-conversation based on the data collected by the radar compared to the known body positions associated with having a side-conversation and filter noise associated with the side-conversation received by the microphone from a direction associated with the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2019Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Alexander Wayne Clark, Hui Leng Lim, Chi So
