  • Patent number: 10483930
    Abstract: User adjustment of an audio effect of an audio device is facilitated to match a hearing sensitivity of a user. The user can tune the audio device with a minimum perceptible level unique to the user. The audio device can adjust the audio effect in accordance with the minimum perceptible level. For example, a loudness level can adjust automatically to ensure that the user maintains a perceptible loudness, adjusting according to environmental noise and according to the minimum perceptible level. Also described herein are apparatuses, systems and methods related to an audio device equipped with embedded audio sensors that can maximize a voice quality while minimizing the effects of noise.

  • Patent number: 6249581
    Abstract: The present echo canceller utilizes the principle that the spectrum pattern of human speech does not change much in the short run. The inputs to the present echo canceller are x(t) and y(t), y(t) representing the incoming speech signal from a far-end speaker and x(t) representing the combination of speech signal from a near-end speaker and the echo. The processed forms of the input x(t) and y(t) are processed by applying the well-known Hanning window. They are then transformed into their respective frequency domain using the well-known fast Fourier transform (FFT), and the power spectrum Px and Py are calculated where Px=|xr(f)|+|xi(f)|+&egr;*|xr(f)|*|xi(f)| and Py=|yr(f)|+|yi(f)|+&egr;*|yr(f)|*|yi(f)| where &egr; is a scaling factor which controls the amount of echo to be suppressed, and converting Px and Py to bark scales Px(b) and Py(b).
