  • Acoustic echo suppression and cancellation for web-based virtual meeting platform
    Patent number: 12579964
    Abstract: A web-based virtual meeting platform with echo suppression functionality that is hardware agnostic. The platform is configured in a client-server distributed architecture, wherein a plurality of user devices are connected to a server. A baseline for audio generated by a user device on the client-side of the client-server platform is established. Upon detection of a deviation from the baseline, including electro acoustic feedback and ambient noise, suppressive gain is applied to the audio input at the client-side of the client-server architecture. The suppressed audio stream is then transmitted to a cloud server and distributed to a plurality of user devices connected to the cloud service. The platform is accessible via an internet browser and is non-discriminatory as to the hardware of the device used to access the platform. Further, the platform does not distribute data in a peer-to-peer architecture.
