Patent number: 11488617Abstract: Disclosed are a sound processing apparatus and a sound processing method. The sound processing method includes extracting a desired voice enhanced signal by a sound source separation and a sound extraction. By using a multi-channel blind source separation method based on independent vector analysis, the desired voice enhanced signal is extracted from a channel having the smallest sum of off-diagonal values of a separation adaptive filter when the power of the desired voice signal is larger than that of other voice signals. According to the present disclosure, a user may build a robust artificial intelligence (AI) speech recognition system by using sound source separation and voice extraction using eMBB, URLLC, and mMTC techniques of 5G mobile communication.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2019Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Jae Pil Seo, Keun Sang Lee, Jae Woong Jeong

Patent number: 11217246Abstract: Disclosed are a communication robot and a method for operating the same capable of smoothly processing speech recognition by executing an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm and/or a machine learning algorithm in 5G environment connected for Internet of things. A method for operating a communication robot according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include collecting speech uttered by two or more utterers approaching within a predetermined distance from the communication robot, collecting photographed images of the two or more utterers, determining whether a case where utterers of a wake-up word and a continuous word included in the uttered speech are the same is a first case, or whether a case where the utterers of the wake-up and the continuous word included in the uttered speech are different is a second case, and determining a voice reception enhancement direction according to the first case or the second case.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2019Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Jae Pil Seo, Hyeon Sik Choi
