  • Patent number: 9286907
    Abstract: According to various embodiments of the invention, a new and effective keyboard click noise reduction scheme is presented. The keyboard click noise reduction scheme may have various processing units including: Dynamic Signal Modeler, Smart Model Selector, Adaptive Filtering Module, Keyboard/Impulse Noise and Voice Activity Detectors, and a Post-Processing Unit. By adaptively changing the coefficients of the proposed adaptive filter through minimizing the output energy, the scheme can provide the target signal/voice with nearly zero keyboard click noise. The scheme could be used in real-time to minimize keyboard click noise or any kind of unwanted noise, especially noise having transient impulse characteristics.
