  • Patent number: 9210502
    Abstract: An echo cancelling device splits a low-band signal through LPFs having characteristics which do not cause aliasing during downsampling of downsamplers, and splits a high-band signal through HPFs having characteristics which do not cause aliasing during downsampling of downsamplers. The echo canceling device generates a mid-band signal by subtracting the low-band signal and the high-band signal from a pre-split signal by adder-subtractors, and cancels an echo on a band-by-band basis.

  • Publication number: 20150342528
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus determines whether a vital sign sensor is in contact with a human body and determines whether a contact state between the vital sign sensor and the human body is stable. The apparatus obtains an effective time-series signal by removing, from an output time-series signal of the vital sign sensor, a first time-series signal and a second time-series signal, the first time-series signal corresponding to a time period of a non-contact state and a second time-series signal corresponding to a time period of an unstable state. The apparatus analyzes the effective time-series signal to measure a value associated with a vital sign signal of the human body.

  • Patent number: 9179217
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a first processing module adds, to a first queue, output sound data output from a first task, with a time stamp attached thereto. A second processing module adds, to a second queue, input sound data received from a microphone, with a time stamp attached thereto. A controller fetches first output sound data as reference data from the first queue, the first output sound data having a time stamp whose time difference from a time stamp of first input sound data in the second queue falls within a predetermined range. An echo canceller performs echo cancelling processing to cancel an echo component in the first input sound data based on the reference data.
