  • Adaptive vehicle state-based hands-free phone noise reduction with learning capability
    Patent number: 10475466
    Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to a system, apparatus, and method for achieving an adaptive vehicle state-based hands free noise reduction feature. A noise reduction tool is provided for adaptively applying a noise reduction strategy on a sound input that uses feedback speech quality measures and machine learning to develop future noise reduction strategies, where the noise reduction strategies include analyzing vehicle operational state information and external information that are predicted to contribute to cabin noise and selecting noise reducing pre-filter options based on the analysis.
    Type: Grant

  • Vehicle State-Based Hands-Free Phone Noise Reduction With Learning Capability
    Publication number: 20160019890
    Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to a system, apparatus, and method for achieving a vehicle state-based hands free noise reduction feature. A noise reduction tool is provided for applying a noise reduction strategy on a sound input that uses machine learning to develop future noise reduction strategies, where the noise reduction strategies include analyzing vehicle operational state information and external information that are predicted to contribute to cabin noise and selecting noise reducing pre-filter options based on the analysis. The machine learning may further be supplemented by off-line training to generate a speech quality performance measure for the sound input that may be referenced by the noise reduction tool for further noise reduction strategies.
