  • Patent number: 8275141
    Abstract: A noise reduction system and a noise reduction method are provided. The noise reduction system comprises a uni-directional microphone, an omni-directional microphone and a signal processing module. The signal processing module comprises an adaptive noise control (ANC) unit, a main noise reduction unit and an optimizing unit. The uni-directional microphone senses a first audio source to output a first audio signal, and the omni-directional microphone senses a second audio source to output a second audio signal. The ANC unit executes an adaptive noise control to output an estimated signal according to the first audio signal and the second audio signal. The main noise reduction unit executes a main noise reduction process to output a de-noise speech signal according to the estimated signal and the second audio signal. The optimizing unit executes an optimizing process to output an optimized speech signal according to the de-noise speech signal.

  • Publication number: 20120114139
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a suppressing noise system applied in a mobile device, comprises: at least two microphones are used for respectively transmitting a first audio signal with noise and a second audio signal with noise; a pre-processing unit is coupled to the at least two microphones for oversampling the first and second audio signals, downsampling the sampled first and second audio signals, and then generating a first adjusted signal and a second adjusted signal; and a suppressing noise device is coupled to the pre-processing device for filtering noise in the first and second adjusted signals once again, and outputting a third audio signal.
