  • Publication number: 20220406317
    Abstract: A conference terminal and an embedding method of audio watermarks are provided. In the method, a first speech signal and a first audio watermark signal are received respectively. The first speech signal relates to a speaker corresponding to another conference terminal, and the first audio watermark signal corresponds to the another conference terminal. The first speech signal is assigned to a host path to output a second speech signal. The first audio watermark signal is assigned to an offload path to output a second audio watermark signal. The host path provides more digital signal processing (DSP) effects than the offload path. The second speech signal and the second audio watermark signal are synthesized to output a synthesized audio signal. The synthesized audio signal is adapted for audio playback. A completed audio watermark signal is outputted accordingly.

  • Patent number: 11259118
    Abstract: A Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter is configured to minimize delay and maximize passband power by adjusting the filter coefficients applied to the sampled values. The FIR filter obtains an input signal and samples the input signal to generate a set of sampled input values. The FIR filter generates a set of filter coefficients, with each filter coefficient based on a corresponding sampled input value in the set of sample input values. The FIR filter selects a subset of sampled input values that have been most recently sampled from the input signal, and selects a subset of filter coefficients corresponding to sampled input values that are not the most recently sampled. The subset of sampled input values is combined with the subset of filter coefficients to generate an output value for the FIR filter.
