Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for audio processing handover between audio devices. In an aspect, a method of audio processing handover between audio devices comprises selecting a first audio device to be a primary audio input device and deactivating the second audio device; performing a voice processing algorithm on the first audio device; detecting that the quality of the first audio signal does not satisfy a quality threshold, and in response, activating the second audio device and measuring the quality of the second audio signal. If the quality of the second audio signal is better than the quality of the first audio signal, select the second audio device to be the primary audio input device, deactivate the first audio device, and perform the voice processing algorithm on the second audio device. Otherwise, deactivate the second audio device for some amount of time before checking again.

Abstract: A method of defining an acoustic channel in a vehicle or other environment involving providing a respective definition of in-vehicle sound sources, the definitions including a definition of a respective sound associated with each sound source and a respective location within the vehicle associated with each sound source. Segments corresponding to the sounds are identified in an output signal of a microphone located in the vehicle. Definitions of acoustic channels are generated from the output signal segments in respect of the location associated with the respective sound source. The sounds relate to intrinsic parts of the vehicle, for example a door closing or a windshield wiper operating. A map of acoustic channels is maintained and used to compensate audio signals for distortion caused by a relevant acoustic channel. The acoustic map can be updated while the vehicle is driving in response to detection of sounds from the sound sources.

Abstract: A method of determining contexts for a vehicle, each context corresponding to one or more events associated with the vehicle, for example that the radio is on and a window is open. The method comprises detecting sound activities in an audio signal captured in the vehicle, and assigning context to the vehicle based on the detected sound activities. Non-audio data such as the operational status of a vehicle system or device is used to help assign contexts.
