  • Patent number: 10424287
    Abstract: Disclosed is an active-noise control device including two passive attenuation earphones each provided with an external microphone, an internal microphone and a loudspeaker. The control device includes a first processing chain having a feedforward filter, a feedback filter and a reconstruction module. The control device includes a second processing chain having a sound source identification module, said second processing chain being implemented in parallel with the first processing chain, and being suitable for parameterizing the first processing chain.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9466281
    Abstract: The headset includes an active noise control, with an internal ANC microphone (28) placed inside the acoustic cavity (22) and delivering a signal including an acoustic noise component. A digital signal processor DSP (50) comprises a feedback ANC branch (54) applying a filtering transfer function (54, HFB2) to the signal delivered by the ANC microphone, and a mixer (60) for mixing the signal of the feedback branch with an audio signal to be reproduced (M). The headset comprises a movement sensor (64) mounted on one of the earphones. The DSP comprises an anti-saturation module (68) for analyzing concurrently i) the signal delivered by the internal microphone (28) and ii) the signal delivered by the movement sensor (64), and verifying whether current characteristics of these signals fulfill or not a set of predetermined criteria. Upstream from the feedback ANC filter (54), an anti-saturation filter (70, HFB1) is selectively switched as a function of the result of this verification.

  • Publication number: 20150296297
    Abstract: The headset includes an active noise control system, with an ANC microphone delivering a signal including an acoustic noise component. A digital signal processor DSP (50) comprises a feedback ANC branch (54) applying a filtering transfer function (HFB) to the signal picked up by the ANC microphone, and means (46) for mixing the signal of the feedback branch with an audio signal to be reproduced (M). The ANC microphone is an internal microphone (28) placed inside the acoustic cavity (22), and the feedback ANC filter (54) is one between a plurality of selectively switchable, pre-configured feedback ANC filter. The DSP (50) comprises means (62) for verifying whether current characteristics of the microphone signal fulfil or not a set of predetermined criteria, and for selecting one of the pre-configured feedback ANC filters as a function of the result of this verification.
